Weekly Weigh-In Week 4: I Gained Weight… Here’s Why (Weight Loss Journey)


Weekly Weigh-In (Week 4) on my weight loss journey — and this one’s a real-life reminder that diet, exercise, and consistency don’t always go perfectly (especially when winter weather hits). If you’re into weight loss updates, weigh-ins, Fitbit goals, and learning from setbacks, you’re in the right place.

Welcome back to Week 4 of my weekly weigh-in! This week was… messy (not literally — thank goodness 😂). We had an ice storm in North Carolina, I bought way too many snow day snacks, and my routine took a hit. I’m keeping it 100% honest: I didn’t crush my nutrition like I wanted, I didn’t hit my movement goals, and the scale reflected it.

✅ This Week’s Weigh-In Results

  • Last week: 184.6 lbs

  • This week: 185.2 lbs

  • Weekly change: +0.6 lbs

  • Starting weight: 191.8 lbs

  • Total progress (4 weeks): -6.6 lbs overall 🎉

So yes—a small gain this week, but the big picture is still progress. Weight loss isn’t a straight line, and this video breaks down exactly what I did (and didn’t do) so I can fix it going into Week 5.

🍽️ Diet + Nutrition Recap

Monday through Thursday, I stayed in my calorie target (2,000–2,200 calories) and kept protein strong (about 45–47% of my calories from protein).
But then the weekend hit… and so did the snack attack.

One big lesson: don’t buy “snow day snacks” like you’re stocking a bunker. If it’s in the house, I’ll convince myself I’ll “just have a little”… and then it turns into a weekend buffet.

🍫 Protein Bars… or “Carb Bars”?

I also leaned on processed convenience foods this week, including one of my favorites: Met-RX Crispy Apple Pie (so good… but read that label 👀).
That bar is 390 calories with 48g carbs and 29g sugar — it’s got protein, but it can sneak in a ton of sugar and carbs fast.

If you’re on a fitness journey like me, always check the label. Some “high protein” foods are secretly just a dessert in gym clothes.

🚶 Movement + Exercise (Where I Slipped)

My goal is 10,000 steps a day, and I didn’t hit it this week.
I also only got one true workout in. The snow and ice made it harder to get to the gym… but honestly? That’s not a great excuse. Home workouts still count, and I’m owning that.

😴 Sleep + Recovery (The Win!)

This is the part I’m proud of: I hit my 6+ hours of sleep goal every night this week (7/7 nights).
Even got over 7 hours one night and came close a few other nights — and I felt the difference.

🔥 Week 5 Plan

This week, I’m focusing on:

  • Keeping snacks out of the house (or only buying a tiny amount)

  • Prioritizing whole foods over processed convenience foods

  • Hitting my 10k steps even if the weather is bad

  • Getting workouts done (gym or home — no excuses)

  • Keeping sleep consistent

If you’re on your own weight loss journey, I hope this video helps you stay encouraged when the scale doesn’t do what you want. We learn, we adjust, and we keep going.

Squidward socks may or may not be involved again. 🦑😂
