Why am I GAINING WEIGHT????? I am about to go crazy!!!! HELP!

Ok, I was 145 last week....today I am 148!!!!  I have been counting my calories and I have been keeping them under 1300 because that is what was suggested for getting to my goal.  I have been eating "good" foods.....WHAT IS GOING ON????

Is your sodium intake high? Sodium will cause water retention.  I've never noted it on the scale because I weigh only once a week but I can really tell the difference by the fit of my rings and suspect it would cause the scale to go up also.

Yeah I'd try and not worry so much what the scale says one day.  One time I gained 10 LBS (!!!!!) in a day or two.  I got on the scale, saw that, got depressed, only to get on it the next day and be right where I was before the gain again.  Either my scale was way off or I had just retained that much water...or something.

Don't let it discourage you because it gave you that number once =)  Check again in a day or a couple days and see if it says something different!

I know how frustrating that is but DON'T GET DISCOURAGED! you are doing an awesome job watching what you eat and your body thanks you for that. You're overall health is improving. 

I agree, make sure you're not getting too much sodium... I get wayyyyyyyyyy more than I should and I've been trying to cut back....that'll definately make the scale go up.

 

Keep it up!!!:)
