I am NOT recording my weight today. I just cannot accept it.... there is no reason for it... (except yesterdays pig out, but that does not account for 5 lbs)I will weigh in tomorrow and try to accept whatever the number is. I just don't understand it. It's 11 days into cycle, so I should be having 2 days a slight depression, not weight gain yet. So no excuse there. (hmmm could explain my level of frustration right now though) Seems like the arthritis in my fingers is acting up- sometimes that seems like a trigger to retaining water or something. I just don't know. I didn't even have any wine last night! But I AM having a nice little WHINE right now, aren't I? LOL One thing that scares me is that I am seeing that I will NEVER be able to have a "normal" diet. It seems right now that the slightest diversion from the "extreme" level of my diet causes gain. I knew I was making lifetime changes here, I just didn't expect them to have to be so extreme forever. Do people really live entire lives on 40 carbs a day? can't I EVER get up to 100? 130 is considered a low carb diet...

You never know - maybe getting to your goal weight will cause a shift in how your body processes what you eat - no one can guarantee that you will be limited forever. Hang in there!

I have read it is possible to increase your carbs but you have to do it super slowly and there will be a weight gain every time you do it because your body is getting used to the change. I have no experience in low/no carb diets - I tried atkins for 3 weeks and just could not do it. a 5 pound gain sounds more like water retention than actual weight gain. Hang in there hun I know its frustrating but it will come!

Barbie, I am trying to get to 25 TOTAL a day and am maintaining. I just don't process carbs well, so I am actively looking for substitutes, lol. I suspect that you are experiencing fluid retention. When my Lupus flares, and my joints start to hurt, I always retain fluid, lots of fluid. I can see as much as a 7 pound gain overnight, and it is gone just as quickly! Hang in there, Barbie. It'll go away soon!

Funny thing about my pig-out... it was actually pretty healthy. The big-carb item was pinto beans. 1 tortilla, a little avocado, and some crackers in the morning.But the crackers had a flavoring- very salty... I added salt to my meal.... Hmmm... could be. I don't eat processed food as a rule, and that's why. 1 bottle of water down so far.... we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I had a can of soup yesterday for lunch! I just thought of that in reference to the possible salt issue.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys...
