I Regain So Many Pounds!
Hey everybody. Today I went to see my doctor and she checks my waist and is size 39 and I check my weight and I'm 223 pounds! I used to be 196 pounds and I regain 27 pounds. I still workout, gains muscles, and eat junk food but I didn't realize I regain so many pounds.
It's time to get my Magikarp on!

Re: I Regain So Many Pounds!
Total weight is not, in and of itself, the best marker of fitness. For example, if youve added muscle mass (say, because youve been going to the gym and working out to lose weight) then your actual weight will have changed less than you might have wanted it to, but youre still in better shape.
In terms of actually understanding your overall health, the best thing you can probably do is talk to a doctor or other professional. Theyll let you know what signs to look for and how to keep track of your overall fitness and diet.“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: I Regain So Many Pounds!
Don't worry about it too much. I went on three hard cuts this year and lost a net total of.. 3 pounds. (I dipped down 11 and then back up 8 after the cuts were done.) So out of 11lbs lost, 3 were fat and 8 were water weight.
Everyone has told me how much weight I have lost and how my face is thinner and I look so different. Water weigh fluctuates wildly based on if you haveglucosamineGlycogen from eating at maintenance or not, if you have worked out recently so your body is pumping water into your sore muscles, if you take creatine, etc. Fun fact, fat weighs less then Glycogen because it has a much lower water content, so you can lose fat while gaining weight even ignoring muscle development.
Make sure your diet is at or below maintenance and don't let the scale worry you too much.
Edited because I said glucosamine instead of glycogen and it was haunting me at work.

Re: I Regain So Many Pounds!
If size 39 is is a 39 inch waist, that's not wonderful, I'm drifting in that direction myself, and I'd really rather not.
The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Re: I Regain So Many Pounds!
Even doing a body mass index isn't exactly the best - it's just relationship between height and weight... but, as they said above, muscle can be quite dense and change that.
Knowing your body fat percentage isn't a bad thing. Also, minding your blood pressure, peripheral blood flow, and certain blood markers (HDL/Total Cholesterol ratio, sodium, creatine kinase, fasting glucose, for example).May you get EXACTLY what you wish for.

Re: I Regain So Many Pounds!
Waist size isn't cut and dry though. Different people store fat in different places and your hip bones and abdominal inserts vary. I'm 5'11 and 250 and am a 34 pant size, my best friend is 6' 170 and wears a 32 ( I can wear his fairly comfortably.) All of my fat is stored above the belt line, nothing I can do about it.

Re: I Regain So Many Pounds!
Yeah, its hard. I myself have been on the weight rollercoaster for my whole life. I have found that I need to keep a log my workouts, nutrition, and weight. If I do that, the weight stays off. If I take a break from logging, my weight creeps up.
In March 2020, I was about 202. Then the COVID lock down happened and I didn't leave my house for a few months and stopped logging. I stepped on the scale in July and I was up to 223. It took me about 5 months of being religious about logging everything to get my weight down below 200. I have managed to keep it down since then and I have decided that continually logging nutrition is something I just need to do as I get older.
My advice is to log 7 days a week, stick to your calorie goal 5-6 days a week, but have 1-2 "cheater" days per week when you eat whatever you want. And do some kind of a workout every day, even if that workout is just going for a 2-3 mile walk. Sometimes I beat myself up for missing a workout but I find just getting something in is better than nothing.

If you were British and this thread were about your finances, it would be a much more positive development. 😊
