Ever gained weight on diets

Map said: "Everytime I go on a diet I gain weight, but I never seem to lose, exercising makes me bigger....."

pixiechic said: "a better judge of weight loss would be by gauging how your clothes fit. a lot of times, you will lose inches before you *see* weight loss on a scale. if your clothes start feeling looser, you are going in the right direction!"

sky said: "Dieting is not what you want to do eat healthy, 8 8oz glasses of water a day,5 fruits or veggies a day, do not starve yourself on diets you will gain weight because youre hungry and you always find a way to try to beat it. Exorcise, muscle DOES NOT mean heavy thats a myth! Walk 30 min a day,do exorcises that lean and tone. Im a fan of the ball."

I'm all about "Lifestyle Re-Alignment" :)[/QUOTE] interesting way of looking at things. diets are something we do as a means to an end. as soon as we fall off the 'diet' the weight comes back. taking weight off slowly, with will and without starving yourself or using any other crazy means to do it will help assure that you keep it off. get active, be active and stay active. eat right and live the fullest life you can!"

Cupcake said: "Muscle weighs more than fat, so you may be building muscle and thats what appears to be your weight gain. But muscle burns fat. So you could still gain weight in muscle mass, but actually be losing fat."

helplesscase said: "I know. Thats something I noticed too. But once I stopped dieting and ate anything I wanted, I actually didn't gain any and sometimes even lost a few pounds. Weird..."

cvalh said: "if you find you have this problem, i recommend ignoring the scale for like a month. at first, you're probably gaining muscle, or it's your body adjusting to new eating habits. go back and look in a month, and if you still haven't lost any, evaluate how your clothes fit (looser?) and if you feel in better shape. if your answers to these are also negative, you might want to reevaluate your diet/exercize plan. but don't JUST rely on the scale!"
