She's only just got over food poisoning a week ago though and I think her body is retaining loads of water because of how dehydrated she was the 9 days she suffered from it all. She was so devastated, I felt so bad for her! :-( think I'd have dropped dead if that had happened to me. Xx
peacelily said:Crikey how is that possible? 19.5lbs!!! That sounds dangerous to me whether she was dehydrated or not! Hope she's ok sammyb. xxx
sammyb1985 said:I know it's awful! We haven't a clue how it happened and it does sound bad doesn't it? But she has been sticking to plan and even if someone hadn't I dont see how they could eat enough to put that much on in one week, so the only explanation I can think of is that she's retaining water!her wrists and ankles were swollen, it's crazy though because when she started SW with me I literally had to force the seat belt in my car around her and it would only just Clip in, but now it goes in easily! She originally got weighed and it said a gain of 1 stone 4lbs so we said it must be wrong and the consultant said she'd weigh her again afterwards, and in the space if the hour we were there it increased by 1.5lb to 1 stone 5.5lbs! So she's now even heavier than when she started, but she's lost inches! I dont understand it at all but hope she has a big loss next week. She's taking her water tablets and hoping for the best. Xx
sammyb1985 said:No need to be sorry about being horrified hun, we were too! It's probably happened before when she retains water but because she's relatively new to SW and never used to weigh herself she probably didn't realise. I think she should tell the doctor about it though, and maybe he can give her some different tablets to help with it. I'm just praying she gets a big loss next week so she doesn't get disheartened and give up! Xx
WTF how can i gain 8lb over night? i was -4lb. now im +4lb from last week!!Il see tonight at sw ....
