Have you ever had that weekend when to visited family when you started out one weight and came back a shit tone heavier? Best ways to lose the fat?

[xXiTacoXx]

I left for Maryland for a family reuinion and to see my grandparents over the weekend and I was 126 lbs., but now that I'm back and I've checked my weight again I am now 132.4 lbs. which is pushing overweight for my heigt. It's like wow. O_O

What are some tips to lose all that weight again? I was in my healthy weight ranger for a person who's 5'1", and now I'm fat... I need to learn to hold back at bbq's. xD

weight goes up 5-10 pounds on any normal day. you have to weigh yourself same time with no clothing.

an extra tea spoon of salt is five pound water retention. also every 500 extra calories you eat is a pound bc water is attached to food. when you go back to eating as you normally do the water will be expelled and your weight will return to normal.

so a thousand or so extra calories and a few grams (2,500 milligrams in a tea spoon ) extra salt there's your ten pounds. eat normally move normally and dont eat salty food. your weight will go down over the next few days. its not a big deal.

In such a short time, its too much to be fat only. I assume you ate stuff that keeps up water. Eat fruit and vegetables, little proteins and carbs and it will go down in two days because of the water loss. Your daily weight variation between morning and evening and eating low or high salt is already that range, so don't panic.

My mother's side of the family is known for shoving food at guests. They don't feel like they are being good hosts unless their guests are being crammed full of food. I just reached a point of turning it down. If they got offended, so be it.

Since I was one of the youngest there I kept being yelled at for trying to, so I just ate it.

You've got to be firm with them. What right does anyone have to demand you eat food?

Everyone who was there since they were 40 and over. .-.

My great-grandmother was in her 80's when I was in my 20's and she'd try to pull that with me. I just politely declined over and over again until they stopped asking. I have an immense ability to ignore them when they ask. Even though most of them have since died off, the tradition was still passed down, although not as bad with each generation.

I recommend a walking program but our weight can fluctuate when we travel
cause we could be getting too much liquids to drink or sometimes we aren't
moving our bowels like we should that all contributes cause it's happened to me.

Yes this happened to me! When I was 14 I was as skinny as twig. But then I came back to visit my family last summer and I had gained like 20 pounds and gotten taller. I wasn't fat but I wasn't a twig anymore either. I suggest just daily exercise and drink lots of water.

Also I can to visit this year and I know how you feel, I always over eat at the family BBQ's and my grandma is constantly feeding me. Sometimes the food tend to be on the sugary side

Bluuuuh the same thing happens to me too! It's only a few pounds though so I bet you'll be able to lose it really easily just by doing a few extra things for a few weeks. Add an extra half hour work out here and there, drink extra water, try to fill up on veggies and lean protein before carbs, and all that good stuff. You can do it!!!

Yeah that happened to me when my aunt took me to a European restaurant on her trip here. I lost half of the weight I gained but today we are going to an American restaurant AGAIN!!!
