Well, I figured it was gonna be bad because we ate carb-filled Chinese the past two Sunday's, plus carb-filled Tex-Mex the past 2 Saturdays, and I haven't worked out at all in the past 3-4 weeks. 6 pounds tho? Ugh. I feel miserable. My new pants I bought when I was 139 are tight now and all I've been wearing is leggings because of it. But I refuse to be one of those statistics of people who lose all this weight on Atkins just to gain it back and then some. In two years I lost 92 (was 98) pounds, there is no way I'm letting myself go back to that. After I couldn't wear my jeans yesterday I decided to stick with my NC/cal limits. My husband even fixed the low carb chili for me. I still feel huge compared to just 2-3 weeks ago, but at least I'm on the right track. Maybe some of it is water weight from all the eating out. I hope so. Ugh. Word of advice: if you've taken all this time to lose almost 100 pounds and get within four pounds of your goal, don't think that you're invincible and can eat whatever you want and sleep in instead of exercise. Being healthy is lifelong. Not just during your diet. I've learned that the hard way.

Just a hiccup. Get back on track and learn from it. I over ate yesterday and have had a tummy ache all night. You got this!

Such sound advice. I've got too close too many times to blow it.

Nip it in the bud! Good job of catching it before it gets out of hand.

The weight gain could be a result of the sodium. At the end of May I house sat 2 dogs for four days. Only thing I did wrong was eat a can of black olives at night, each night and was up 6 #s at the end of the four days. I just didn't focus on it and returned to eating my normal way, which is moderation. By the next week I was right back down the 6#s.
I've been following moderation along with trying to eat cleaner. Moderation, not deprivation, works for me. I'm down 32#s since mid-February. An average of 5-6#s per month. Its a slow pace but the results are great.
