How come ????????????????????????

[Ruthie]

my friend's daughter went to jail for 5 weeks for drugs--she was under 5 feet tall and 71 pounds-tiny but normal for her

she only was there 5 weeks and gained 50 pounds--she said she ate cookies-6 at a time in the middle of the night to go with her medication

how can you gain 10 pounds in one week but not lose ten pounds in one week


?????????????????????

water, but that should come off. :dry: It's easier to gain b/f than lose it, also. ;)

Well, which is easier?

1) Eating 35,000 calories worth of cookies

2) Running on the treadmill to burn 35,000 calories


You do the math.

Also, could have been any number of factors- the medication and reduction in physical activity, as well as going off drugs all could play a part.

Exactly - drugs are good like that. While 50 lbs in 5 weeks is quite a lot, the combination of all of these factors could do it.

Doesnt it seem impossible to gain 50 pounds in 5 weeks??

[smuggie]

I find it hard to believe someone could gain 50 lbs. in five weeks. :uhuh:

[Mols]

and really really gross/unhealthy

I gained 30lbs in 4.5 weeks once. Then again, I ain't 71lbs to begin with :lol:

Considering such a low start weight + quitting drugs + inactivity + unhealthy food + most likely some water retention... I find it believable.

I gained like 20 lbs in a little over a month when I quit smoking :shock: - and that was just smoking, and I wasn't anywhere close to underweight to start.

Yeah, I totally agree with you. When I gained all that weight, I was at 143 (twice her weight), and I went from clean eating/extreme exercising to bingeing a LOT every day.

Ick. Let's put those awful weight gain days behind us!! :wink:
