Ok, I've been married about a month now and have been back from my honeymoon for a week and a half....and I got on the scale today, and have put on 8lbs!! How did this happen?? Gee, could it be eating and drinking our way thru Italy??? Please tell me I'm not the only one to put on some pounds right away!!! Off to the gym I go......

Re: Newlywed weight!
Yep I did it too. I think because I just eat a little more and less healthy since moving in with my DH. A lot of my pants don't fit Been working out a lot again but so far no results. Good Luck!!! I am really worried with the holidays approaching too!!!

Re: Newlywed weight!
I gained about 5. Hey, I guess we're all fat, dumb, and happy! (uh....no offense intended...I just love that old saying)

Re: Newlywed weight!
I gained 10 the first couple months (I think about 5 from the all inclusive hm), but have stayed level at the extra 10 for over a year. Hopefully I'll finally get it off soon! Just don't let yourself gain more--it's so much harder to lose!

Re: Newlywed weight!
yeah-- I needed a break from dieting and exercise.. and it's all been downhill from there!
It's time to get back into it though..

Re: Newlywed weight!
OMG! I know!!! I jumped on the scale the other day and almost passed out! Since the moment the wedding ended I went on L-A-Z-Y mode! Then on the HM all we did was eat, sleep, pool, jacuzzi, eat, sleep, pool, jacuzzi, eat, sleep...that's it! The lack of exercise and too much eating has got to STOP!

Re: Newlywed weight!
I gained about 7 or 8 after we came back from the honeymoon. I think it was a mix of barely eating before the wedding, eating like crazy during the honeymoon, and some post-wedding depression. My worst moment was trying on every one of my suits for an interview and realizing that not a single one fit well anymore.
I think that experience, plus lessening of the post-wedding depression, helped me get back to my normal size.

Re: Newlywed weight!
Yup, my clothes have been tight since I got back from our honeymoon. I haven't dieted or gone to the gym, but I refuse to go up a size also. DH but on about 15lbs in the 4 months we've been married too, I don't know what's happened to us !!!

I gained about 6lbs. I was at my parents and found my slip and decided to try it on, it DIDNT FIT. I ahvent even been married 3 months, this is ridiculous. I do feel better that I'm not the only one though.

Re: Newlywed weight!
I think I gained 15 pounds in 4 months... but for me I really think it was birth control pills that I started right before the wedding. I have recently stopped because they were making me CRAZY! And my appetite has decreased tremendously! Call it psychsomatic, but who cares! It's working!

Re: Newlywed weight!
Its so pathetic but I gained 20 pounds since the wedding. I want to shoot myself!!! I was a size 4 when I got married and I am SO NOT a size 4 now. I actually joined a gym last week and have committed to going 4-5 times a week. Hopefully some of the weight will come off.

I don't feel alone! I thought it was just me. I gained between 8-10 pds already. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me. I joined Bally's today. Hopefully that will help!

Re: Newlywed weight!
OMG....I feel sooo much better knowing that I am certainly not the only one experiencing this phenomenon!!
I am hoping to NOT gain anymore, and even lose a few during the holidays (trying to go to the gym 3X a week now...although this time of year is so hard!)...and then once the New Year starts, I am really getting back to my old ways!!

Re: Newlywed weight!
At the moment i am at my pre-wedding stress weight. I lost a few pounds right before the wedding due to stress and running around like a nut. And you can't help but enjoy the food while on the honeymoon but i didn't get carried away. I actually only gained a pound on the honeymoon. I guess all the walking on the beach and sweating all day helped burn all those calories. But now after almost two months of being married i am back to my normal weight. But the fear is that the scale is going to go up and up and up. It's different now cooking for two. i try really hard to be healthy and watch portions but it is hard. I do try to be in the gym at least 3 times a week and we do watch what we eat. I'm scared of the 'newlywed 15'! It's going to be really hard now with the holidays coming up! I'm freaking out!

Re: Newlywed weight!
I'm actually doing the opposite. As soon as we got back from the HM I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. Most people ask me why I didn't do this before the weddings, but the truth is, (1) ALL of our money was going towards the wedding that I just didn't have any to spare to join the gym and (2) I was too busy lurking around on the forum
