OK..ate HEALTHY chinese food last night and today..

i am up TWO pounds? Can that be right??

I had 6 steamed veggie dumplings and a small egg drop soup.

Ate 29 points and worked out yesterday.

Decided to weigh myself this morning to see how i am doing and i am up two pounds.

What i ate really wasn't packed w/sodium (just sauce for the dumplings) but i ate so little of that...

Just curious and hoping that number isn't right..I am busting my butt!!

It happens. Last Friday we went out to eat- I had a full meal, 3 glasses of sangria AND dessert. The next morning I had only gained .2lbs.
However, I could eat so well and the next day gain even more.

Your body can be a little strange with weight loss. Sometimes it takes awhile for a good week to catch up to you. However, the good habits will show in the long run!

Egg drop soup (really all chinese soup) is LOADED with salt. It's my favorite but I always blow up like a balloon from it. It's all water - don't worry about it.

Re: OK..ate HEALTHY chinese food last night and today..

I was going to say what a previous poster already did. Chinese food is LOADED with salt... it's all bloating and water retention. It happens all the time when I eat Chinese. Sometimes I eat healthy for 6 days and splurge the last day of the week, and I gain and panic but it goes back down.

I didn't realize egg drop soup was loaded with salt...it tasted so bland, lol!

I know i shouldn't freak but i am busting my azz to lose 10 pounds. So to lose 2 on sat and be back up today was realllly frustrating..

I'll be healthy and watch the salt today and hopefully that # is back down tomorrow!!

Thanks!

Do you weight yourself everyday?

That can become very frustrating.... depending on your salt intake, how much water you are retaining it can change so much day by day.

I would stick to weighing once a week! Same day same time(morning) and I think we will see a better change.

Re: OK..ate HEALTHY chinese food last night and today..

The same basic thing just happened to me last week.

My weigh-in day was the morning after I'd eaten a lot of sodium (which I didn't even think about at the time) - and I gained back the pound I had just lost the week before. I was so p!ssed, because I'd really worked hard on eating right that whole week. But by the time I weighed myself again 3 days later, I was back where I had been originally.

Hopefully the same will happen for you!
