Is it possible

[glo]

to gain 9 pounds in 4 days? I did eat, but did not go way way overboard. I had one good meal a day, and yes, I did eat carbs...but 9 pounds??? Oh well, I have a trip in July to go to...and so back to the grindstone


I had an awesome time in WDW..kinda sureal and very most magical.....I wish it could have lasted just a few more days....Nothing like good friends, good food and good drink

So, I am back

 

[ohMom]

glo - i don't know if i'd have the strength to weigh myself so quickly after a vacation. I'm the type to give myself a couple days to flush out all the salt, alcohol, etc before stepping on the scales

Don't worry about it! you are sooooooo faithful to your eating style, those extra false pounds will be gone very soon!

I'm glad you had a great trip! but it's nice to have you back too

 

[kdibattista]

DRINK YOUR WATER!!!!! It will fall off in no time!!!

 

[Lynn CC]

Glad you had a great time Glo!
I always go off my diet when I'm at Disney then I just get back on it when I'm home. Atkins says it can jumpstart the whole plan again. The weight may actually come off faster than you think if you get back on induction today.
Good Luck Glo, you look so great I'm sure you will get back on track.

You were on vacation!! I know a lot of people think that enjoying
life shouldn't include eating and drinking,but I do! Especially when you're on vacation!!! Being able to enjoy food and drink with family and friends ,that IS enjoying life!!! Now your home and its time to get back on track because that's life too!!

glad you had fun!!!

Glo, I think TBF is visiting you.....drink lots of water! Glad to hear you had a good time, I wish I could have been there!

 

[Kelsie]

Welcome back Glo!

I can gain that much just from the moisture my skin absorbs. You will have it off in no time. I agree, vacations should be enjoyed.

((hugs))

Glo, I am living proof that you can't gain that much "real" weight in such a short time, even though the scale says so. Give it a couple of days, drink your water and I am sure the scale will be a lot friendlier the next time you hop on it.

So glad you had a good time!

WELCOME HOME GLO!!! It sounds like a really wonderful trip!!

I'm sure those vacation lbs. will come off quickly! Hang in there!

 

[Meriweather]

Glad to hear you had a good time

glo- I missed you while you were gone!!! And yes, it is possible to gain 9 pounds in a week! Isn't it amazing?!?!? WHen I went off Atkins for 2 days I gained 3 lbs! And it took me 5 days to lose it too!! Just remember- you planned this cheat and you deserve it! Now you're gonna have to take ALex on in his part II challenge!! BUT they will come off very qucikly-= when I travel the BF visists- the nasty guy!! But usually within 2-3 days of being home a lot of that water leaves.

I'm so happy you're back!!!

 

[Beanie]

Sounds like you had fun, glo!! Glad you are back though, we missed you!!

Are you starting Induction again today?? I am also...want to do the Alex Challenge this week?? I need a good week!!

 

[glo]

Thanks guys....I missed you all too...YOu guys kept me from eating everything in sight to be honest...I kept imagining you guys shaking your fingers at me....lol.

Yes, Beanie...I will do the original Alex challenge starting today with you. I got some exercise in while at WDW, but not enough to burn what I ate obviously. I should have done more

Anyway, I still can't think I would have gained 9 pounds in 4 days Been drinking tons of water today and now am looking to 18 pounds by the July 10th. You guys think it is possible?

I did have a blast though...Some great food...lots of it Atkins friendly like one night I had grilled lobster tail, with a filet mingion...to die for of course it did come with some delicious garlic potatoes I also had pork one night...and Mexican at the Mexican pavillion. Ok, so maybe the gallon of Margaritas I made and the Malibu and Pineapple drinks I had were not to Atkins friendly....

I am back on full force now though
Glad to be back with you guys! Wish I could have seen you all

The only way I see it is possible to gain that is from a visit from the evil bloat fairy! And I happen to know she lurks around WDW! I'm glad you had a great visit, and look forward to trying to meet you down there one of these days! Remember, the bloat fairy does go home - as long as you stick with what you know works!

 

[Beanie]

Glo, you have such a wonderful attitude towards this! LOL...This is the biggest reason why I am going to force myself to behave while on vacation!! I know for some it is fine to not stay on your diet while at Disney, but honestly, I would NOT have the same attitude you do if I gained 9 pounds! LOL I am glad you are not too depressed about it...I think it is wonderful that you are right back on track today with Atkins! Impressive!

Yay for the Alex Challenge...

 

[Mskanga]

I hope you went on RNR once for me . I know, with all that good food arounf you....you only have to leave me around the Boulangerie in France and that's it , I lost! But I can honestly say, this board have a big impact on people, I cannot eat pizza now without thinking I'm wearing on my hips , geez, wonder who said that BEANIE. . THAT is an immediate turn off....go for the veggies Olga!

 

[disneychrista]

Glo, you would have had to have eaten close to 8,000 calories MORE per day then you need to gain 9 pounds in 4 days. SO NO I don't think it is possible.

 

[lmhall2000]

I've heard of this happening more to Atkins dieters- if you are low or no carb for a good period of time then eat carbs for a while you're body will start adjusting and it seems it gains weight back fast- but just as fast as you gained it- you lose it just as fast by going back into ketosis- so I wouldn't count those as "real" pounds- more as a by-product of having more carbs- more than likely you only gained 1-2 pounds and the rest is fluid. It'll come off really fast!!

Hope you had a great trip! I think of you everytime I'm on the treadmill- I've been trying to push the 4.0 speed- so far 3 minutes straight is my longest stretch- but I do it 3 times in a 30 minute walk at 3.6-3.8- knowing you can do a 4.0 gives me such encouragement!!! Here's to a great week of loss for ya!!

Do you think the bloat fairy was waiting for you at the airport or did he wait for you get home?

You know this isn't a true gain, sweet cheeks

 

[glo]

Thanks guys...I hope I can start the downward trend again. I am having some other physical troubles, and the last two days have been bad. Also, coming down from a awesome trip has been sad. I could use any PD you guys have lying around.
