Thread: So annoyed i gained

I'm soooooo peed off with my 1.5 gain after pretty much 100% food optimising and doing loads of cardio exercise I just feel like giving up!!!
I won't but I am so disheartened!
Not the TOM and doubt it's muscle gain from exercise as I exercise slot anyway! I nearly cried when I saw I'd gained and made a swift exit away from class feeling very sorry for myself indeed!!!

Measure your inches hunny, you'll be sure to see a loss and put you in a better mood. Inches mean more than pounds anyway! xx

Pretty much 100%food optimising or definitely 100% food optimising?

Staying to group is the best thing you can do after a gain, perhaps you are doing something wrong which you don't realise. Also, and I'm not suggesting this is the case, when people sit and think about it whilst waiting for IT to start, they often remember the odd thing or two creeping in.

If you categorically stuck to plan then it's just your body being a pain and your loss will soon show. It's frustrating, but it does happen.

Sometimes our bodies can be weird about losing weight and it could be anything, i tend to find my losses slow down in winter even though i am doing everything the same! I find in situations like these even though it is hard to do so is to just carry on because it will eventually pay off sooner or later x

I just felt so deflated I couldn't bare the embarrassment of my leader reading my gain out loud- I will not give up and I'm going back to basics this week- food diary- loads of SS and I've decided to give up my daily vice of Tea as I'm sure it's tipping me over milk allowance as I am known to have 8-10 mugs a day!
Planned to cycle in to work each day and I'm going to try swimming 4x this week- I desperately need a 3-4 loss next week to put me back in track!!
Thanks ladies for your support xx

Buh?! I thought SW had a no-humiliation policy where gains weren't read out to everyone?!

Gains are read out on my group too really don't like it. Even happened where the area manager has been observing x

Have you only just started exercise? Or do you normally do less than you did this week? Because when you make a change and up your exercise, your body starts to retain water and it takes around a week for it to fall back to normality. Its REALLY really normal for people to make a gain when they first start or up their exercise regime. You will find that next week you will lose your normal amount if you keep going the same, but the changes you will get from exercise is not weight loss, but inch loss - it will tone your body and tighten things! Keep going, just remember that you still had a great, healthy week with exercise - you should be proud of yourself.

Ladies, if you don't want your gains reading out, just tell your consultant.

My consultant is under the impression that gains read out are a way of giving you a kick up the bum.. Not my idea of motivation!!!!

As I said, if you don't want your gain reading out then tell your consultant. She is right, they are often a kick up the bum, but if you don't want it mentioning, they won't.

A lot of consultants won't say how much more that you've had a gain and do you know why. If you say you don't then you will get reassurance.

It's your time in IT but you must talk to the consultant. They can't help you if you don't stay hun.

Lots of things affect weight loss, lack of sleep, stress etc, if you KNOW you've been on plan and aren't cheating yourself then it isn't a true gain!

Now about the milk... Measure your milk out and carry it with you in a small thermos. Try switching to other milk that gives you more -skimmed for example and lower your syns to a max of thirteen to mop up any milk you've gone over (a splash in tea is 1/2 syn).

Hi, yes I'm on skimmed always have been through choice- I have my tea quite milky so pretty sure I go over, also when others make tea ie at work I'm pretty sure they use green top- I always convince myself I'll feel fuller if I have lots of Tea!

It's funny you mention lack of sleep- the past week I haven't slept well at all and barely getting 5hrs a night but didn't link this? And with lack of sleep my mood hasn't been the best and have felt quite stressed! Time to chill out I think!!!

I know I should've stayed but the fact I let out a little swear word when I saw the digits on the scales and the fact I gained I just ran in shame!!!!
