7.5 pound gain... dammit

[princesstia 190]

So i dont know whats going on.. I work out everyday.. lots of weight training.. decided to treat myself to a slice of pizza after hitting the 6 month mark and losing 71 pounds. Pizza is my favorite food so the fact that this is my first slice since surgery.. well hell, i saw no shame in it! Anywho, i noticed my feet were really swollen and menstrual cycle has been doing all sorts of tricks on me in the past couple weeks. Today i step on scale, and the **** is reading 192.5.. What the hell??? I thought i was done with the 190s.. a 7.5lb gain? really scale? I'm really hoping this is Water weight because of the swollen feet. Got a perscription from my doc for a water pill (furosemide).. Hopefully this does the trick. That was very discouraging

If your close to TOM, then yeah it's probably Water. Not to mention sodium in the pizza helped hold in the Water. Couple good pees and you should be fine.

Congrats on your loss!! :-) and for fighting pizza for that long too!!

Don't take the Water pill! It will screw with your body and will probably cause you to retain water for a couple of days after taking it. All they do is dehydrate your body and once you start drinking water again, you will probably retain water all over again. Just drink lots of water and that will flush out the sodium, it may take a day or 2. Eating pizza never makes me retain that much water but If I'm nearing ovulation I usually gain about 3 pounds the day before I ovulate and usually the weight is gone 2 days after ovulation, same with my period. I'm sure you didn't eat enough to gain 7.5 pounds, so don't sweat it
