I dunno for sure...I'm one of those who has lost tons of weight (so much that I've been in tears a lot lately). However, I'm jumping for joy today. I gained more than two pounds in the past 1-1/2 weeks after adding 200+ calories/day to my diet....doesn't sound like much, but to me it's a small victory....first weight gain I've noticed in more than two years. Now, just 20-25 pounds to go!Seriously, though, I've learned from this BB and from my nutritionist that, AMONG OTHER THINGS, certain weight gain can be a sign of nutrient malabsorption, as odd as that first sounds. I've had a malab. problem and have lost weight; others can gain. But that doesn't mean that's your problem. Just mentioning another theory.------------------Cultivate gratitude. Believe in possibilities.
