You mentioned high blood pressure and sodium in a previous post. Things balance out if you stay consistent. Form a routine you can keep even if the scale never changes. You know you’re making healthier choices and are doing good for your health. If you’re consistently working out you may need more calories. Try increasing by 200 and see what happens maybe? You’ve got this! 

Trying to shake the pounds trying to stay positive just posting on here Helps me fight the depression Yes High blood pressure sodium are problem areas for me for sure with the weight I've lost my blood pressure has been stay in great numbers Thank God Thanks for comment and you Keep shaking those pounds your doing Great  

Yay for good numbers! You’re in the right spot for positive support 

how's your fiber intake? turns out you need 30g+ per day. I've had to supplement with sugar free metamucil but the weight started coming off easier once I was hitting the fiber target daily. just a thought! 

Cisco, consider this. In order to gain 8 lb of fat in the last four days you would to have consumed around 26,000 calories in those days. Probably not “fat weight”. So let’s go with the amount of water you are drinking. Do you take Lasix or some other “water pill” for your BP? Are your feet, ankles fingers swollen? You may be retaining fluid. We have about 26 feet of bowel. How are your bowel habits doing. Are you tracking the foods that contain potassium (fruits, vegetables). Sodium walks hand in hand with potassium to balance our fluids and electrolytes. There are multiple things that can contribute to that weight gain besides gaining fat. 

There could be many possible reasons for this. Kenna has already mentioned some. I'm also leaning towards inaccurate CICO. If you are over 300lbs and eating 1600-1800 calories and burning 4k calories, you will be starving unless you have had gastric bypass. Is this 4k calorie burn including BMR? Are you weighing and recording all food? Guesstimates will throw things off a lot. Also, when you do long cardio, you have to subtract your BMR. Example: treadmill burn 700 cals in an hour. However, you burn 150 in an hour just by being alive. So you only burned 550 extra, or net calories.  

Yes I am in the right spot for support Thanks to all of you Fiber I have not been getting this could explain a whole lot I have been every day my whole life now I'm ever 2 sometime 3 days far as water I drink 10 to 12 16oz waters per day I am on a low dose fluid pill the calories in and burn the 4k is in extra activity not counting normal burn no I have not had gastric bypass surgery I eat 2 times most days today it's 6:30 pm here I have had around 1k calories I want eat anymore this evening oh and I am counting and measuring calories Thanks for the info and support  

Give it time - at that rate the pounds will fall off. Just checking- make sure your meals have almost no salt. That’ll add pound after pound of water weight. 

Maybe building muscle? Muscle weighs more than fat 

Are you eating at least 30 to 40 grams of protein each meal? Chicken breast? Salmon? Cottage cheese, eggs, lean sirloin steak. You have to have protein. Protein fills you up and you need it to burn calories. 

maybe water retention, in which case it will drop. check you sodium and carb intake, they contribute to retention.  

You got this man, keep your head up 

It learn curve for all of us.  

@Budget, the muscles could be loading water. However, muscle growth is very slow and will not happen with a 2k calorie deficit. And muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. The density is greater than fat but a pound is a pound.  

https://youtu.be/wBsnk2PtPeo i'm sharing this youtube with all my friends & family lately, because it's eye opening. The biochemistry of fat storage and release. half an hour, totally worth your time if you would like to watch. :)  

Your body could be turning fat into muscle. don't worry. if you've dieted a lot throughout life your body is just confused and will straighten itself out soon. Don't get down about it... keep with it and you'll see good results. 

I was having the same issue. It changed when I switched from mostly aerobic exercise to mostly anaerobic exercise. AND when I upped the protein. 

Bubbles— last semester I took a class on kinesthetics and sports nutrition. It was fascinating. 300 plus page book and we covered it all. I’m now going back through it reviewing a lot of the information. A continuous learning process. I’m just glad that for me personally, I’m still on the right road.
