gained 6 pounds!?!?!

[glitterpockets 85]

I started a new job Monday in a factory. I stand on my feet and run around like a wild chicken for 10 1/2 hours a day. Since I've started I've gained six pounds!!! I'm sweating my ass off in there (no air conditioning..no stools...) how in the heck could I gain six pounds?? I drink A LOT of crystal light to keep me hydrated...so maybe Water weight? I mean I sweat so much my shirts are soaked in the back (EW I know lol)

Hmm maybe it's muscle? If your running around like that perhaps you've gained some muscle weight

[glitterpockets 85]

Idk. I obviously have more fat than muscle so wouldn't I still go down? I was 226 now I'm 231. I think I'm allergic to sweat and exercise... ????????????????

Lol o wow it can be that your are swollen

[glitterpockets 85]

Maybe! It upset me quite a bit though because I'm not eating anywhere near as much as I was before. I eat Breakfast and then have grapes for my break and then come home and have a small dinner. I'm so wore out in not hungry.

@@glitterpockets Crystal light or just fake sugar in general can make you retain Fluid. That may be your problem. Try just Water.< /p>

You may not be eating enough for how much you're burning. How many calories are you eating and a day and how much has your nut suggested? You may need more to keep up with the demands of your job.

@glitterpocket cracking up lol I've been saying that my whole life ... Sighs it may be your body fighting to hold on or Fluid retention too or ummm "gas" since my surgery I often get terrible gas it doesn't hurt or anything I often don't realize it until it wants to get the hell out then I almost swear I could take off like a hot air balloon thought I was eating something to cause it but it doesn't seem to go away no matter what I cut out
