elcee 3,342 Posted June 6, 2012 No need to be worried, this happens sometimes. Your body is just adjusting. Keep doing what you are supposed to be doing and you will lose it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted June 6, 2012 Don't worry, be happy! Our bodies can hold a lot of extra fluids. Depends on how much sodium and carbs we consume. For example: My wife accepted a dinner invite to a cooking school where we were taught how to cook our own culinary delight. There were 12 people in this class and we prepared a salad(lots of olive oil in the vinagrette), baked halibut(smothered in butter, salt, spices) and then we made donuts, glazed with a blackberry jam we made. Of course there was the obligatory anti-pasto with garlic bread, smoked salmon, cream cheese etc. Lots of salt, oils, wine and sugar galore. I caved. First time I've eaten like this since the holidays. I gained 3.5 lbs overnight. That was Sunday night and on Monday I was 3.5 lbs heavier. This morning, I'm back to where I was Sunday morning. So, the point is, food, meds, stress, can all manipulate our body mechanics and metabolism. 1.5 lbs in 5 days is nothing. You probably ate something with a high salt content. It will pass. Don't sweat the small setbacks and as time goes by you'll lose that weight. tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted June 6, 2012 Salt content is a biggie. I went to my niece's rigatta (rowing race) on a Sat. and then Mother's Day was Sunday; both of which involved LOTS of food and many of which were salty carbs. I gained 4 pounds over the weekend. Took me 3 days to loose the Water weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lorena st 33 Posted June 6, 2012 Don't worry...just keep following the rules and the weight will come off. I also have issues with salt and fatty foods. We had take-out Chinese food for a party last week and I gained a couple of pounds overnight. I didn't eat very much of it, but the salt/fat content was just too much for me. To top it off, I was ridiculously thirsty for 2 days afterwards and it took me 4 days to get rid of the Water weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
