This is too much of a gain in 6 days, especially since I didn't do any weightlifting last week. I walked for 5 days, which is great, but I doubt I added 1.6 lbs of muscle from that. If I had weightlifted, I wouldn't be concerned, but due to my circumstances this week, the gain is happening too quickly for my liking. So, I'm going to cut back on my food calories a bit. I'll reduce them by 200. Honestly, I think I'm eating a bit too much for my metabolism, even though I'm burning more calories than I'm eating. I doubt I'm eating 800 calories a day more than I should, which, if I'm doing the math right, equals a 1.6 gain in 6 days. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So part muscle gain, part water retention, part weight fluctuation, part too much food? It could be a combination of any of those. But because I didn't weighlift, I'm certain it's not all muscle gain, which is what I'm striving for. So hopefully a slight reduction in food calories and making sure I weightlift at least one day a week should do the trick.

MOre and more I read the last thing you want to do to lose weight is cut calories (unless you're way too much to begin with). For me I've found I just can't 'math' my way into weight loss.. it's an over all thing of food, health, activity and emotions more than just the very simple CICO. That is a basis, but not the be all end all.

I know what you mean, and I'm the same way - CICO isn't accurate for me (I need to eat less than CO to maintain my weight). I just don't want to go up a clothing size, and I have a feeling I'm eating a little too much. I don't plan on reducing my calories by much. I'm just going to try to stay under 2,000 a day and weightlift at least once a week for the muscle gain. I'm not trying to lose weight; I'm trying to gain muscle, which for me means gaining weight. I just think I'm gaining too quickly that I could be gaining fat. Thanks so much for your comment, Bella!

Its awesome that you are aware of it and planning on being proactive. This is what I hope to do this time instead of watching the weight ho up and up. Thank you for sharing!

You are very close to your goal so don't let up. Continue with the weight workouts. The more muscle you have, the more efficient your body is. Have a great weekend.

I'm sure you will figure it out. You probably did use less calories last week if you didn't weight lift. Also how much salt did you intake, how much rest did you get, etc? Like I said you will figure it out. =)

Thanks, Kris. Seeing the scale go up like it did motivated me to be more aware of my eating. I just need to tighten the reigns a little :)

Madanjen, I reached the lowest weight I could comfortably reach (168). Since then, I've been working on putting on muscle, because the last 20 lbs I lost, I lost while being sedentary, and because my size was the same before and after the 20-lb loss, I'm guessing I lost muscle and possibly gained fat. I'm expecting to gain some weight while adding muscle back. But because I didn't weightlift last week (only walked), I doubt what I gained was only muscle. And I just feel like I've been gaining weight too quickly (I don't want to gain any fat in the process). I know, it must sound weird for a female to talk about trying to gain weight, even if it is muscle :)

Skwhite, I didn't necessarily burn less calories last week, because I would normally just substitute one or two of the walking days with a weightlifting day. My concern is the type of workout - weight training versus cardio (weight training puts on more muscle). Because I didn't weight-train last week, I doubt the weight gain was all muscle, and if I gain weight I want it to be only muscle. I didn't sleep much last night (6.5 hours), so that too could have affected my weigh-in. I remember once when I weighed in after not enough sleep, went right back to bed, and when I woke up and weighed in, I was 2 lbs lighter. So sleep definitely affects weight. I can just feel that I need to be a bit more careful with my eating. And we all know what's best for us, right? :)

You have done and are doing such a great job. Your "tweaking" calories, weight lifting, and walking to do what is right for you is wonderful. I enjoy reading what your next plan of action will be. Everyone is different and it takes a lot of strategy sometimes to get around the numbers to get to goals. Good luck, though I know you will get there without it!!

Thanks, Kattay. I'm just glad I have the motivation to adjust things. When I'm not motivated to do something, I can't do it. You've done fabulous yourself!
