Please talk me off the ledge!!

Guys! HELP!!! I have gained 3 lbs!!! And they are not coming off! I want to crawl into a hole! I'm eating well-less than 1000 cals a day tons of protein and the carbs are in check too. I'm still jogging everyday (2 or 3 miles) and in fact have added a mile of walking just to increase my stamina. I'm asking for some encouragement please. You guys are great for this! Can you help a girl out? HELP!! C (not feeling very "malibu" today")

Oh Channan, don't you dare crawl into a hole. It's only temporary (the weight gain, not the hole ) it's probably water weight maybe? Or muscle mass? I don't know. I know how you feel, and I know it's so frustrating, but you're doing all the right things so I am *CERTAIN* it is not 3 pounds of fat! So cheer up, ok? love ya and you're still very malibu to me! Michele

Thanks babe! If I think about it logically....I know I haven't been eating enough to gain. I know it, I know, it I know it....I just don't feel it! AGH!!!!!!!!!!!! You're "malibu" to me too! C

Gaining weight, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Lotsa Sex with the hubby Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Less weight means more fertility, HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM When's the baby due?????????????

Geeee..........thanks BILL!!! Who let you in here anyway? SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kiddin'!! Love that you're here. I might have to check that out if things don't turn around here! C

Um, having the same problem my dear. This is pretty normal for me. I lose, then I stall, then I gain, then I start over again. Don't sweat it, you are doing much better than I am in the exercize department....so I'm SURE you are fine. hang in there sharon

Great~misery loves company, right? You're right...it will come back off, I'm sure (sorta) Thanks Sharon! C

I am right there with you too. I have gained about 4 pounds that are not coming off right now either. I think that we may be exercising to much and not increasing our calories. I have tried doing that, I will let you know what happens. Remember, it is only temporary, we will get over this, I swear we will!!! Nancy

Nancy, It's always so hard for me to rationalize upping my calories to lose weight, even though it has worked in the past. I have increased them this week, but have only seen a gain (1 lb), no loss yet. I'll keep you posted as well. Thanks Nance! C Gettin' any action out of that singles board?

Sounds like all those muscles in your legs are growing to me. They must be incredable by now. If thats the case then it's 3 more pounds of sex appeal that you've added. And everybody knows sex appeal weighs more than fat. Whatever you do don't start starving yourself to break this plateau. Just keep on eating right and exercising and it WILL resolve itself soon. If it makes you feel any better I think I've gained a couple pounds myself this week. And I can't blame it on water retension either. In my case I haven't been to the gym all week. Been running around every day and working on the house but it still doesn't do as much as my regular cardio workout. Here's 3 tongue kisses to make ya feel better Tim
