oops

So my dr has a pretty strict regiment of protein shakes / vits... well the past week I've been a little off track.  It's not that I'm eating that much really... and without the shakes maybe I'm just not getting enuf altogether... I have "gained" 4 lbs. 

I am also due to start my period...

but are any others having any time with the scale going in the wrong direction....

I'm still proud of my loss to date, I'm going back to my shakes / vits and increasing my water intake, but it's still frustrating. 

Thanks for listening...(reading)

I have not had  a gain but durring my PMS week I had a zero loss.  Do you retain water durring your period?

Hi Brandy.
I do retain water, and it seems my body really "punishes me" when I don't do what I'm s'posed to. lol.  This morning the scale moved in the right direction... I also think I'll start tracking on Daily Plate.  I really think part of it is I'm not eating enuf.  I'm not hungry, so I don't "think" about food.
My normal day consists of:
Protein shake (made with 4oz of water)
Yogurt
Protein shake (made with 4oz of water)
Chicken in a can w/ mayo
Protein shake (if I remember to make it)
String cheese or cheese single
Some sort of dinner (sometimes a smart one but I can't eat it all)

throughout the day I drink about 20 oz of crystal light, and two cups of tea with splenda and a splash of milk. 
Though when I write it out it seems like alot. lol

Heck your eating more than me.

I have a protein shake in the am after my work out, made with 8 oz of lo carb soy milk
at 12pm I have 2 cheese sticks or an atkins bar and a cheese stick
At 6pm I eat 1/3 to 2/3 cup of meat.

I do drink a minimum of 80 oz of water, and sometimes a half a liter of pedialyte as well.

plus all my vitamins through the day.

 

I gained three pounds this week. I do not think I am overeating. I am retaining fluid but I didn't think I would gain this early out. I can't blame it on the time of the month so I do not know what is going on with me.

I always gain right before my period, and then the following week usually lose that plus a couple of pounds... What you have gained isn't fat, I am sure that it is water weight! 

I gained two pounds this week.  I was pissed, but then I woke up and Aunt Flow had come.  NO symptoms of PMS to speak of took me for a loop!  I am hoping to lose the two and more, by next week.
