Today, I learned that I can work out for over an hour a day, cut my daily calories by almost half, keep careful track of my diet, drink nothing but water, and not lose a pound. But I can sure as hell gain weight after one dinner at a buffet. FML

Doctor time!

Today, and over the past six months, after 20+ years of habits aiming at not gaining weight and succeeding in doing so, I've suddenly LOST a lot of weight at 40 years-old due to bad circumstances. No matter how hard I try or how much I eat, my system just seems to have forgotten how to build fat. FML

Muscle mass?

By Anonymous - 22/03/2024 13:00 - United Kingdom

Today, after drastically changing my diet, going to the gym regularly, avoiding excess sugar and carbs, upping my protein, I’m still as fat as ever. In fact I weighed myself this morning, and I’ve gained 12lbs in 2 weeks. FML

No pain, no gain

Today, after two full months of trying to gain weight, I haven’t gained a single pound. Instead, I now have severe and irreversible digestive problems from overeating. FML

Weight is just a number

By Anonymous - 23/02/2025 18:00 - United States

Today, I was proud of going to the gym 3 times a week (instead of once a week) to get in relative shape. I even started doing light cardio and (I thought) started to eat better. I've gained six pounds, despite watching what I eat and even increasing the resistance on the exercise bike that I use. FML

Today, I finished the first month of a diet and exercise program designed to help me lose weight. To keep myself motivated, I have avoided the scale the entire time. I weighed myself today. I've gained 6 pounds. FML

Today, after months of grueling hard work, I'd finally gained five pounds. Too bad I lost it all and then some, due to one good stomach flu. FML

Today, while at my mom’s house, my mom told me that I need to seriously curb my food intake. Then I went to my dad’s house and he told me I need to gain weight. I can’t win here. FML

How long have you been on your new diet/workout plan? Have you been keeping track of your measurements? You do know new muscle weighs more than lost fat, right? and if you weighed yourself the same day as your buffet, the added weight is just food in your intestines. Why do people always associate successful health plans with numbers on a scale?

How long have you been dieting? If you really haven't lost any weight perhaps you should see a doctor.

I know this isn't an advice board but I recommend you ask your doctor or some sort of professional what you can do because if you truly believe you worked hard enough to lose weight and still didn't, it could be a medical condition or maybe you're just doing the wrong types of workouts and diets.

OP, you kinda deserve it for thinking simply starving yourself and exercising will make you lose weight...

A. How long did you try the diet? B. Did you do any cardio? C. Don't focus on weight. You probably gained some muscle in the process. D. Keep it up!

if "working out" doesn't include a dedicated cardio program then you are missing the most effective part of a weight loss program. also, switch up your exercises. doing the same exercises with the same weight for the same number of sets will cause you to reach a point of plateau very quickly. Do the cardio, watch your calorie and fat intake. increase your protein intake and switch up your exercise routine. stick with it for a solid 14 days, no cheating. check your weight first thing in the morning, and measure yourself (waist, chest, legs, arms,etc) and get your body fat measured. you may be getting more results than just the ones you can see.
