i ate way over my calorie limit last night and this morning the scale said i gained 3 pounds?
How long does it take to show any weight loss after beginning to work out?
Answers:
It depends on what you eat and when the last time you weighed in because to gain a pound you would need to have eaten 3,500 extra calories in your case you would have need to eat 10,500 extra calories to have gained 3 pounds. One pound equals 3,500 calories. To lose weight, you need to eat 3,500 calories less for each pound you want to lose or increase your physical activity to burn more calories. I hope this helps.

Your weight changes 5-10 lbs through out the day. Use the toilet and you weigh less.How do you prevent scarring of wounds?
Oh, dont worry about that. Your body just hasn't had the time to digest the food you ate. You might have gained some, but certantly not 3 lbs. You should only weigh yourself once a week on the same day.If you have A-N-A-L sex and your @$$ rips is that bad? Should I go to the hospital?

More than likely it's stress or water weight gain. Drink plenty of water, do some stretches, try some deep breathing and go out for a walk a few times this week. Soon you'll have lost more than just the three you gained. Good luck and let me know how it goes!Is this place, called 8ty8 or any adult place(with license) for having sex safe ?
It depends when "last night" was. If you ate a ton of food at midnight, went to bed, then jumped on the scale at 6:00 AM its kind of a "no duh" that you gained 3 pounds. However, if you ate this calorie heavy meal at 5:00 PM, went to bed at 10 and woke up at 6 and were still up 3 pounds.well, then you need to cut back today and let your body equal back out.That's actually pretty normal if you eat a big meal or drink a lot of fluid. My own weight will flucuate that much depending on what I've eaten. Especially if you eat salty foods your body will retain more fluids.
I'd say, make sure to eat moderately today, drink water, exercise, and watch your weight decrease throughout the week.
Don't worry, it's normal. Just don't eat like that again this night.
i always feel happy for a little bit but then i get sad all of the sudden..what should i do?
Let me give you a really good piece of advice for people trying to lose weight.STAY OFF THE SCALE !
I will give you three good reasons.
1. The scale is a liar. Physics tells us that weight is a relative term not specific and its based on gravity so the instruments that measure weight can give any reading for reasons unexplained. Bottom line, scales arent accurate and you will beat yourself up over something you have no control over.
2. Which leads to number 2. Our bodies, especially female bodies can shift weight for unexplained reasons because of hormones. In most cases you cant control it. Everybody has different hormonal functions no 2 people are the same. Hormones are what can make you burn less or more fat, retain or eliminate water from your system or speed or slow your metabolism.
3. Which leads to number 3. You need a good plan and to stick with it. Weighing yourself everyday isnt measuring progress its defeating your efforts by psychologically telling you that what you are doing is not sufficient. If you had a good plan then you would stick to it, measure yourself in 3-4 week intervals, and quit worrying about whether its enough.
Why 3-4 weeks? Thats how long it takes the body to change and adapt to whatever program you are using. Its the process that shows real results in weight loss not just temporary water gain/loss. You may think, I will go crazy if I cant weigh myself, but you will go even crazier and become discouraged if the scale shows a weight you dont want to see.
For any weight loss program its important to understand how to increase your RMR or metabolism. Your RMR or resting metabolic rate is the amount of energy you burn in your daily activities.
I could type more but this is long enough, just check my source for more information than you ever wanna know about your metabolism. It also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism and lose weight.

I agree with the above post and here are some more reasons to get off the scale:
1. Fat is not the only component of the body that has weight. Added muscle or increased bone denisty due to exercise can cause weight to increase while fat is being lost. Lean mass is healthy and has a higher metabolic rate than fat mass, so this weight gain is not a problem.
2. Food in the stomach or retained water can cause mass to fluctuate. I can lose 1-2ibs of water after a competition if I am not hydrating properly. So weight on a scale is due to a variety of factors.
It is more important to be fit and enjoy what you are doing. If fat was a problem, you can tell things are going better by how clothes are fitting. If your waist is shrinking, you are losing weight and becoming healthier. Stop obsessing about weight and enjoy an active life (eat healthy too)!

I am female, and weigh 230 lbs. How many weight watcher points am I allowed on the Points System?
In order for you to gain 3 lbs of fat, you would have to eat 10,500 calories more than what your body burns normally (1 lb of fat = 3500 calories). Eating that much food in one day would be difficult.On any given day, your weight can fluctuate up to 5 lbs, mostly due to water weight. Ignore the day to day numbers, and look for a trend over time (1-2 weeks).
