This One Account, Gained 15lb in 3 Days.

How?
Disordered eating. Alcohol. Binge eating?

It may be that this person has issues around food OR I’m just assuming and that they’ve just randomly eaten double triple amount of calories than usual.

Considering you need to eat 3,500 extra calories to gain a lb that's a heck of a good time.

Probably a lot of water retention too. Typically if you're going to binge it isn't going to be on fruit and veg, all that high calorie and high large food is full of salt too. Back "on plan" they'd probably lose a fair chunk of that the following week. It's not a particularly healthy cycle to be in though (and I speak as someone who has struggled with that kind of messed up eating in the past).

Definitely this. Even ‘on plan’ I steer clear of anything salty the day before weigh day. Soy sauce/smoked salmon I find are the absolute worst ‘on plan’ stuff to make you retain water!

All the time on my group’s Facebook people always post their dinner the night before and it’s always the ones having massive bowls of risotto with bacon or a huge gammon steak who report no loss or a gain the next day despite saying they’ve stuck to it! Ever heard of sodium love 😂

I used to practically starve myself the night prior to being weighed and on the day of weigh in I'd barely eat until 7pm, then in class I'd binge.

My group’s normal weigh in 7pm too and I absolutely cannot be arsed with it when groups reopen, every week I’d tell myself I wouldn’t but I’d hardly eat and stop drinking anything at 3pm. Much prefer weighing first thing then getting on with my day. This time when I rejoined I literally went to one weigh in to sign back up then there was the 2nd lockdown and it’s been closed since.

I’m the same looking forward to Easter Sunday, I’ve given up alcohol and chocolate for Lent which are the only things really that cause me to go massively off plan, so I’m looking forward to having a drink and some choc on Easter Sunday and enjoying myself but I will be right back on track Easter Monday. Probably won’t have a loss that week but I’m prepared for that, the important thing is not thinking of the whole week as a write off and just getting straight back into healthy eating.

All these big SW accounts always report huge gains after their #offplan weeks but most of it’s got to be water. It really annoyed me when they all weighed in on Boxing Day, you’re not going to get a true weight if you’ve been stuffing your face the day before, no one puts on half a stone in a day like some of them posted!
i HATED it when practically every single person weighed in on boxing day and posted it. absolutely no need at all to weigh yourself, of course the scales will be up if you’ve indulged for 2 days but it’s christmas!! live a little ! it’s not real weight gain, it’s water retention and the food is still in your stomach lol. it’ll go away after a couple days. a lot of accounts also made it look like they had lost loads of weight around january when in reality they’ve just dropped their ‘fake gain’ from xmas. i couldn’t imagine myself waking up on boxing day and thinking yeh let’s jump on the scales what a great idea, it’s actually really quite sad

They do it because they know they’ll get a big loss on their next weigh in which in turn will bring in a flood of “YoUr sUcH aN InsPirAShOn BaBe” comments, follow a fuktard Friday nominations and those wanky “WhaT U dOiN NoW” tags.

So true! Used to wind me up so much when people would be scranning huge dominos/chippy teas etc saying weighing in tmoz, then lo and behold a week later they drop about half a stone!
so misleading for people who follow for weight loss ideas as they just won’t understand that is mostly water weight and then get disappointed with their own 1lb loss which is actually a much healthier loss in the long term

Just had a look, her portions looked normal until recently (didn’t scroll back that far though only so many plates I can look at 😂). It will be interesting to see if she carries on with the tiny portions

This thread might be able to help, I saw this thread a few days ago and I thought about everyone I followed when I was on SW.

There was this girl I used to follow, blond maybe mid 20s, she had a miscarriage and then had a baby boy not long after. He was in and out of hospital for a while when he was around one (I can't remember if she posted why), I remember her getting a picture of her and her son with some football team at the hospital and then I think she stopped posting. Her son's name started with a C. I tried to find her as I wanted to know if her son was doing okay but couldn't find her. She was ex SW, but got obsessive with her weight for a while, being pregnant seemed to calm it. Does anyone else remember her?

looked at her Instagram she eats small amounts of food but a lot of processed/junk food. Two slices of pizza dirty fries and two breaded mushrooms if she ate chicken and veg she would have way more on her plate calorie wise. I seen the chicken wings 6 wedges and tiny portion of coleslaw/shot glass size portion. This isn’t enough food the poor lass is starving herself. That’s the problem with the BMI rate thing is can allow people to go way to thin and starve themselves as it says they are still at a healthy weight when they are heading to way underweight.

I was shocked at how little food there was on the plate... she does look great but that’s just not right 🙁

I'm loving her saying chicken wings are free if you take the skin off....how on earth are you going to manage that, it'll be almost impossible 🤣 They're an odd choice, they have so little actual meat. Why wouldn't you have breast meat or even a leg or thigh if you wanted meat on the bone as both are easy to get the skin off.
