You’re doing great. Just keep plugging away. Today I’m back in the groove after 3 days of holidaying.

Eh probably just water fluctuations. Agree on the upper limit though as I think 1800 is about my upper limit for maintaining but it’s just a guess based on how my body responds on the scale.

Like you, my strategy is a pre-holiday, fall diet - it really helps with the winter over eating blues . . .

You didn’t gain 2 lbs in a day because you ate 2000 calories. Weight will go up and down depending on a lot of factors. Hang in there and tweek appropriately!

I know exactly how you feel. I gained 3lbs over the weekend thanks to the holiday festivities beginning. I’m sure/hoping it’s just water retention from all the salty foods and will lose it plus some by this coming weekend.

I agree with love2educate - takes longer to gain/lose 2 lbs - something salty or inflammation.

did you drink alcohol? i find that causes quick gain for me....water weight

Weight is holding... so no fluke... I was probably eating too much that last week of November. I think just as with losses... gains can just suddenly show up like a reverse whoosh. So I now know that around 2100 cals is my upper limit.

Thanks everybody for responding and supporting. You are great! I am not overly concerned as long as I am not lying to myself or my food journal. And I am not (at this time) ! I upped my food intake every month since June to see how high I could go and I think I have figured it out. I am not a bottomless pit apparently.

I think it’s a great method- you took your time to figure out a good maintenance WOE for yourself!

It's very unlikely that you took 2lbs in a day. Maybe it's more that what you ate made you bloated ? Water and inflammation can weight a lot on the balance !

Well the weight is there. Maybe I am a fluke of nature. or your theory is wrong

I know you'll correct it. You've been on the mark for a while.
