Thanks for you words of wisdom and support. My imposed lifestyle throws me off a little on my journey, but I know I will get there in the end

I do measure regularly too, but my clothes tell what I need to know on that score

house problems ;p
weight gain with exercising has to do with muscle weighs more than fat; so, while it’s important to measure body weight regularly, it’s even better to measure body areas to notice reduction of size and increased tone. Water weight gain/loss can be a factor as well.
Keep up the good work with that!!!

While people are attempting to follow a reduction program, the weight is always a bit like a yoyo until one reaches the definite goal. Then, it seems to settle unless someone goes back to the anterior way of life. It takes a bit of time to get used to the program, and be faithful to it everyday. After 6-8 weeks, it becomes a natural routine, like brushing your teeth. The one or two pounds you might gain sometimes will disappear easily the following week. Keep at it, Cherie. You’re doing fine.

Ah, I misunderstood your comment. Hopefully it will balance itself out next week for you. I hope you are feeling better now, sinus infections are horrible.

We have balloons in our literature too, they have happy and sad faces on them…

That often is the case, but this is definitely not the start of me exercising. In a normal week I exercise a lot – gym 3x, big run x1, walk to work and back (about 6km) several times a week, and often a hill walk at weekend.
It’s just that I didn’t do most of that for about 10 days due to a cold and sinus infection.

Our teacher was explaining this week why we put weight on again more easily. It’s all to do with balloons …

It goes on much too fast at the drop of a lettuce leaf.

The girls in the class all seem to think they gain a bit of weight when they first start exercising too. There must be a scientific explanation to it.

Maybe your weight gain is linked to not being able to turn your heating off? After all, you wouldn’t be burning as many calories to keep warm?
I gained half a pound this week, not sure why as I did more exercise than I have for a while due to my cold :-/
