I gained 5 pounds :-(

[TrogL]

I dunno what happened. I was stable at 148 and it took a hell of a lot of work to get down there. Two days ago it went up to 153. Nothing changed except that I've been eating more protein and less carbs because Ank's on Atkins.

Lemme guess - my metabolism's backwards.

1. Are you retaining water?

2. Have you been exercising?

Muscle weighs more than fat. Of course even alot of protein can make you gain wieght.

5. That could be it

Over the weekend I was pretty much living at the skating rink and lugging stuff up and down stairs.

3. Do you look different? How do you feel?

If the answer to those questions are no, and good, relax. Maybe you increased muscle mass? If you're not overeating and you're very active, don't fret over a number.

7. I'm trying to get rid of some love handles

Maybe I'll go skating again tonight.

6. I think it was from your obsession about Oscar

Oscar knew and somehow was able to reverse your metabolism

:shrug:

8. The obsession was that bad?

10. Are you furry?

Is it foggy?

9. Some people naturally fluctuate....

I'm one of them, maybe you are, too.

I can be 185 one week, and 195 the following week, then down to 190 the week after. It's all about water retention, muscle mass, what's in your digestive system, etc...
