Has anyone gained weight since their loss?

I have gained 15lbs since my loss in April. At first it was depression, but I cant seem to lose the weight. I think it is my age because I always ate like a horse and never gained weight my whole life....

Im 25 and Ive gain like 8 pounds since my loss in oct.

I dont even really have a reason either...cause ive had the lap band and I have still managed to gain it????? I guess Ill lose it eventually it just adds to the depression of this whole TTCAL thing.

I've LOST 25 pounds since my loss in June. I joined a gym and started dieting, but I haven't been to the gym or dieted since October...

I am sorry you gained weight at all Jess... but at the same time I feel a little better. It does add to my frustrations lately because I am small framed and short (only 5' 2) so the 15lbs really shows. I look at my belly pics of when I was 8 weeks pregnant and I am so much bigger than then! I look like I am 20+ weeks pregnant. I am thinking of lurking in the weight loss board for some help. I am not depressed anymore but I really dont like looking at myself right now.

Brooke - were you trying to lose the weight? I wouldnt want to lose 25lbs but I would be so happy losing 10!

I went the opposite direction; I lost 12 lbs after my most recent loss in September. I was rather depressed.

Yes, I have gained weight, all my clothes as very snug. Not sure how much as I'm afraid to get on the scale. At first I kept telling myself that I was still bloated but now I know it's not bloat

I gained weight with my pregnancy and just haven't been able to lose it. I eat, ALOT.

I gained 10 lbs while preg and lost most of it but still cant fit into my old pants i did before hand. but my weight has seemed to go up and down since my loss in Sept

YES! I gained at least 10 lbs when pregnant (not really sure why...I was only 11weeks) and then was depressed after...and then broke my foot...yeah, had to go up a couple sizes.

And usually I can drop at least a few lbs by just cutting back on food...not now. It's not budging in my old age!

I gained like 10 pounds :/ It's finally coming off. I lost 5 pounds when I had some kind of stomach flu several days ago and now I'm just not letting myself eat as much so that 5 pounds is staying off. I eat when I'm bored and I finally got a job so my job is keeping me busy. I also cut off fast food just about completely and only fruit and veggies for snacks. I gained like 20 pounds since I got married. :/

Missy, I was trying to lose weight! I was depressed about my loss and about my body, so my husband convinced me that I should join a gym. We joined together and I was doing great, then I got the flu which kept me from working out for 3 weeks.

Then we went on vacation and then I lost all motivation... Hopefully next week we'll get back there! I've got lots more to lose..

Oh, so sorry y'all gained weight but I am so glad I'm not alone in that!!!! I am planning on joining WW through work (they actually pay you $3 for every pound you lose) but need to call and verify that I can stop or modify it if I get my BFP. I have gained weight the past 6 months (newlywed) but it's been worse since my loss in October but I'm trying to change my eating habits and hopefully that will help! I know a lot of it was depression but I'm feeling better so hopefully that will help, too!

I had gained about 15 lbs but then lost it, I think the loss of weight helped me get pregnant this time around

noworries · #14 December 4th, 2009, 01:28 PM

Well, I was 6 months along when I lost Eli and I had gained probably 25 pounds or so. I still have 10 pounds to loose but it's been hard because I am totally an emotional eater and I haven't been able to find the motivation to exercise. Blah.

jensma · #15 December 4th, 2009, 03:08 PM

i gained. I kept eating like i was pregnant even after i wasn't. I'm up about 5 lbs since my loss 4 months ago!

ldovey83 · #16 December 4th, 2009, 03:18 PM

I havn't lost weight but I havn't gained it either.

Justjessie · #17 December 4th, 2009, 04:03 PM

I gained 7 pounds with my pregnancy....lost three...and look WAY fatter. I am only 4 feet 10 inches so 4 pounds looks huge. I still fit in my clothes. This pregnancy ruined me and resulted in nothing. My OB says it wasn't baby, just fat. Nice guy. He's ugly, however, and you can't lose ugly.

Halloween81 · #18 December 4th, 2009, 06:07 PM

I gained about 10 pounds this year - none of which I gained while actually pregnant. I keep joking that I'm eating myself pregnant.

alethia · #19 December 4th, 2009, 06:16 PM

i've gained a few lbs ...but not a lot.

sportsmom2 · #20 December 4th, 2009, 08:08 PM

I didn't gain a single pound during the pregnancy, but I have put on around 7-10 lbs since. I am small framed too (5'1) so each and every pound shows. I actually went up a pants size and it killed me!! Oh well... I attribute it to my weight gain to my age. I am 33 and have never had to worry with my weight, I think that things will be changing now. Guess I will be joining a gym
