Why did I gain 4 pounds in one day?!?

Lounge

I’m consuming about 1200 calories a day or less.
This morning I weighed myself and I gained 4 pounds in one day?!?

I’m thinking that my scale is broken.

The only thing different that I did yesterday was that I ate a lot of beef jerky.

Maybe it was too much fat?
Or too much sodium.

Either way I’m crushed.

I feel like giving up but I won’t

I can’t get down past 226 lbs and I’ve been dieting for years.

I think sugar can do that.

Could be water weight, or some natural fluctuation. I keep losing weight. Long walks.

I consume no sugar and have been eating less carbs.
I count my calories and have been eating less calories.

I don’t know what the fukk is going on.

Seriously I think my scale is busted.

It doesn’t make sense.

How long have you been eating consistently 1200 kcal?

We’ll 1200 is the max, sometimes I’ll consume less.

This has been going on since taking my weight loss drug, about one month.

One month is not that long. Some people plateau for a while. But indeed you should be losing weight.

Have you lost any weight since you started?

So that’s a great success losing 5-10 lbs in one month. Keep going you’re on the right track.

Can you go for walks? Or walk indoors?

I have no idea about calories I get,

just know I’m average in weight, maybe a little under weight.

I have a scale too, in our bathroom, it’s the same as the doctor’s,
so don’t be too concerrned about that.

Maybe all that sodium caused water retention

well, I just wanted to say, yesterday, I weighed 140,

and today I weigh 143, so it’s possible I guess, to gain overnight.

but I also have heavy clothes on, don’t know if that matters.

Very possible, each beef jerky stick contains 200mg of sodium and I consumed over 7 sticks.

It could be a natural thing really. Gaining more weigh over night that is. Sometimes you have a different day and your system stores more weigh in that day. Could be.
