Gaining

Regaining weight

When you gain weight, you add new fat cells. When you lose weight, you keep the fat cells--they just lose fat.

When you regain all those fat cells sop up those extra calories like a sponge and get fat again.

Regaining weight

My highest weight was 235-lbs. Then, I participated in a weight-loss challenge and lost ten pounds. Once the challenge was over, I regained some of the weight back.

Regaining weight

I have gained and lost and regained 30-50 lbs multiple times and each time the gain is faster and easier. Each regain usually puts me higher than my previous high smiley The other thing I noticed is that I keep the flab more even when I get back to an old weight when I didnt have much. I guess I have permanently grown hungry fat cells that will keep me fat forever now.

Regaining weight

I started gaining intentionally at about 190 pounds last July and went up and down the scale before stopping at 305 in November. I got freaked out by the holidays and having to deal with family so I started dieting and got down to about 250 by early February which was also about the time I rejoined this site. All the belly envy led to a lazy weekend with some takeout...one binge turned into another which turned into a week long binge because I was fascinated by how quickly I was putting the weight back on. By the end of that week (I documented it on here through pics and gainers), I had gained about 24 pounds going from 253 all the way back up to 277. Since then, I haven't really been motivated to lose so the weight just kept piling on culminating in me weighing in at 342.6 yesterday morning. So, yes, regains can get pretty intense lol

24 pounds in a week! That DOES sound intense!

MassiveMyke (see thegaininglife.tumblr.com/) gained something like 30 pounds in a week after losing 200 pounds. He said it was the greatest week of his life!

Did you enjoy it THAT much?

Regaining weight

I was pretty burnt out by the end of the week...I was stuffing insane amounts of food throughout the day but I did enjoy seeing the numbers on the scale go up and up and up.
