Question:
I have gained 5 lbs in 10 days and I'm freaking out, please HELP!!!
I am in the same boat as the previous person. I plateud out at between 165 to 170, for a long time. Now I have been gaining weight everyday for 10 days and now weigh 175 and I'm freaking out. I excercise 2 hours a day everyday and try to watch what I eat, but obviously I'm doing something wrong. Oh by the way I startted out at 355 lbs in June 07. Any good ideas out there?

Wow you have done a marvalous job so far. No sure what is going on. track
and measure your food for a week or so and see if you see what is the
problem. Once you have a record of what you are eating see a dietian for
help on what needs to change. fitday.com has a free food tracking progtram
that can be helpful in identifying hidden calories.

I'm still pre-op, but I've read a ton of posts that are similar. A lot of
times it has been suggested that maybe you're not getting enough water. It
won't hurt to try drinking more water!

You've done REALLY well! Are you eating enough to sustain those long
workouts? People that work out as often as you need more calories and
carbs than others...Do you have a personal trainer who can look at your
diet? Try these calculators and see if you come close to any of
them...They are closer estimates than BMI alone! So it's quite helpful if
you are one that bases everything on the numbers! You might look fabulous
at 175lbs! I'm a heavy weight myself and LOVE my weight! I do not want to
be much thinner if at all! I'm quite content! Good luck!

rocking at 130 135 125 for 2 years now. GOOD LUCK

What ever you do... Don't panic! I also gained 5 lbs this past xmas. for
the first time in two years I had to really watch what I ate. I realized I
was "slipping" on the carbs.(I have lost a total of 115 lbs) I
have added exercise and have been losing again. I have never really
exercised formally, but I really watch what I eat. That is the lesson I
have learned from all this!!!!! (I lost my dog and realize how much I was
walking her) little changes can make a difference, just try to see what
your doing lately that you didn't do before.. You have had wonderful sucess
so far just don't panic. get back to protien first!!!
