Hard time with weight loss on the weekend



Recommended Posts

I never lose weight on the weekend and most weekends I gain, despite following my normal eating regiment. Overall, I am extremely happy with my loss, but would like some guidance in dealing with weekend weight gain. Thanks!

Now realistically, if you are following the SAME eating regimen on the weekend as you do during the week, it would be impossible for you to gain on the weekends. Come clean with yourself, write down what you are eating and drinking and you should then see WHY you are gaining on the weekends.

Easy cheesey! Don't weigh yourself on the weekend!

I know that sounds flip, but weight fluctuates every day and all day. It could be Water weight from sodium, or your muscles holding onto it because you are moving more, or simply that you are weighing at a different time of day.

I weigh and log daily, but it never bothers me. In fact, it motivates me to stick to plan. If you are doing what you should, no worries! The scale will move.

I have made a list. The only thing that is different is that I don't work on the weekend. Saturday morning I weighed 206.4 and this morning I had gained 1.6 lbs. As a 3rd grade teacher, I am very busy all day, but not so much on the weekends. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for the encouragement. I do weigh daily and I must say that I am obsessed with weighing. I am so eager to get under 200lbs that I can almost taste it! I haven't been there in 10 years.

That's awesome! Congratulations. You are doing great. Focus on the big picture, revel in your success and in how good you feel. I bet chasing those ankle biters is much easier now than it has been in a long time and I am sure you look even more amazing than you did when you started.

The number on the scale is fun to look at, how you FEEL is what is important.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
