I've gained weight on my diet!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how i've done it but in the past month, I have gained six pounds!!!! I can not believe it, but I guess the scale doesn't lie. I have my third appt. with Liz, the reg. dietian at Vanderbilt.... and I'm going to be so embarresed to step on the scale, and have gained weight. Has this happened to any of you doing your med. supervised diets? Jacqueline

Jacqueline, I would guess that those 6 pounds are fluids, maybe due to your monthly cycle. You will most likely lose them after your period. I know at your age I was always bloated and gaining 5-10 pounds of fluids during that time. Don't fret so much about it. You'll be fine. Trust "Doc Kathy" no one messes with Mother Nature like fluids. Kathy

Hi Jacqueline! I had my 5th month check up with my dr. supervised diet. I've gained 2 pounds! But I pretty much sabatoged myself.... I've been ignoring the diet for the past 2 weeks. I did get back on track today though! Throughout this whole process, I've only lost 10 pounds and have just been maintaining it since. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. This just proves how much we need this tool. We're determined individuals, wanting to better ourselves and all we need is just a little help. Good luck Jacqueline! *hugs* April
