I weighed at WW and gained .6!! Ive been doing absolutely NO CARBS for a week! How could I gain? I thought if anything I'd lose more than usual...I dont know what to do anymore. I deprived myself of carbs for a week and I gained!!! I'm so depressed

Re: SOOO upset
I am currently on a low carb diet, and I noticed that when u first start it, you lose weight right away (water weight)...but then it starts to slow down..now I lose maybe 2 lbs a week, but I am also exercising. But if I weigh myself one day and then two days later, sometimes I weigh .4 or.6 more.....oh, and by the way, what type blood do u have? I heard that the low carb diet works best for people with type O blood...not sure if it is true or not. Don't give up or be upset though, I'm sure if you stick with it, and exercise a little too, it will work. I have been eating things like eggs, chicken, turkey, hamburgers, bacon, steak, broccoli, spinach, green beans, asparagus, penaut butter, strawberries, bluberries, raspberries, jello, using splenda instead of sugar, and cream instead of milk for coffee, fish, and it seems to be working for me, but it does seem a little slow at times..
Oh, and I just noticed the last post...if you have your period, you WILL gain a little bit, I did, as a matter of fact the second day I got it last week, my belly looked preggo, but two days later it went away (water weight)...

Re: SOOO upset
Your blood type might be why, everyone who I have known that it worked for including myself so far, had O type blood. I heard they have blood type diets...I'll try to find something about them online...

Your period can be screwy because of the diet as well. Maybe you have been stressing out too much about losing the weight too. I wouldn't really trust the gym scale. I've seen people actually 'fix' the scale so it tells them exactly what they want it too. It may not even be leveled right, so its giving you a false reading. Stick with home scale or WW.
You can't go by what other people lose either, everyone is different. That was my down fall and I wound up giving up. I'm doing my own thing now and I'm hoping it comes off.
Keep your chin up.

Re: SOOO upset
Here is a link for more info about the bloodtype diet:
Could it be that you are mixing two different diets? WW is not really a low carb diet. So if you do WW counting points and then throw low carb into the mix, maybe they are working against each other. Check with your WW rep to make sure.

Re: SOOO upset
Try not to be too upset. I have been doing WW for almost 3 months and 2 weigh ins I gained weight. Once was .6 lbs (had my...) And the second time I was on high dose of predniozne that make me bloated gaing 1.4. Don't worry! I get so upset also. Next week is a new week and you will lose itplus some! You can do it no worries!
