I've been walking to work for a month now, 1 hour a day. Why have I gained 10 pounds?

You gained more muscle which is heavier than fat and by working on your legs through walking, you've gained heavier muscle.  Gaining leg muscles produce more weight than any other muscle in your body.\n\nYou should feel better and your body should feel firmer.  You replaced your fat with healthy muscles.  Don't worry about the weight.  If you want to trim the weight down, eat sensibly.  That always does the trick.

put on one or those podometers or whatever they are called that count your steps and calculated it into miles a day you walk. well anyways put it on before work and check it when you get off. youd be amazed seriously, some people at work do it they walk like 2 miles and they are lazy. but that might make you feel better on those busy days a justifier

I just lost 10 pounds in about 3 months.  I changed my diet some, but mostly I started walking 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week.  It made a huge difference.   Drink lots of water too!

I'm not sure what kind of health reasons would necessitate 15 lbs--that's not a lot of weight.  115 I could see being a medical emergency but 15???  Excuse me if I'm skeptical.\n\n\nIf you TRULY have a medical emergency, talk to your doctor.  The only way I can imagine you losing 15 lbs in 10 days is through lipo or similar.

just a bit of help, have an apearance of weight is not an issue, medicaly, job performance, etc...\n\nif the job is being on your feet, then "your hobbies" are walking, musuems, etc..\n\npeople may have an internal thought as you may be unable to perform the job, so give them an example that you can\n\njust my 2 cents, hope it helps

Well, your work or your diet might be the problem. Try increasing your calories intake and/or water intake about that time of day and see what happens. If it persist you should contact your doctor.

Oh mate, my heart squeezed when I read your question.\nFirstly, well done with the smoking. It shows you have strength of character that you're going to need to regain your wardrobe. I know you're down now, but don't let this set you back. It's great that you're walking, but I think that whilst your metabolism is sulking you need a little more to kick-start it. You could try upping the pace by jogging some of your walking route, or try cycling or swimming. Substitute your drinks for hot or cold water with a slice of lemon and see if you can't try a wheat and dairy free diet for a couple of weeks.  I lost over a stone in less than a month doing this. Eating a lot of fresh fruit and veg lifted me out of my depression too. \nI hope things get better for you soon x

I lost about 1kgs within a two weeks, so that is about 2kg a month. It is not much, but there are no weight fluctuations for the past months despite eating as normal. I did not exercise, diet or take any diet pills. Just drank more water than usual, took my time to finish my meals and stress from work. Stress is a very good weight buster for me i guess. I'm not telling you to do the same. Just maintain a healthy diet and drink lots of water.

Well, i heard this on oprah.  If you trying to gain weight go on  diet for a little bit and then suddenly stop.  The shock will cause you body to pack on some extra pounds.

Just because you are at a healthy weight(which you ARE), doesn't mean you are in shape. Try adding some aerobic exercises to your daily routine a few times a week. I'm certain you'll see a difference walking up the driveway in a month or so.

Water is great for putting on some temporary weight. Permanent weight gain is a matter of eating more calories than you burn each day. You can reduce your physical activity level if you lead a very active lifestyle, or try to eat bigger portions for your meals. \nI do not recommend pigging out daily on a tub of ice cream or some such fat gaining nonsense as you will develop serious health issues if you do so.\nLastly, go see a licensed health professional.

Hi..  ...Invest in a pedometer and make sure you are getting these famous 10,000 steps I have been brainwashing you for the past weeks!\n\n\n\n10,000 steps start when you wake up. Wear your pedometer on your waist a all times.\n\n\n\n10,000 = 3 miles = 300 calories approx (a little bit less than a bagel).\n\n\n\nTake advantage of all opportunities to walk: choose your lunch place 10 mn further, get off the bus 1 stop before, take a 5 mn break every hour or so and go a *around the block walk*. Everything counts towards this daily goal. \n\n\n\nYou will not lose weight (this is not enough really) but you will prevent new pounds from accumulating and you will improve your general health. \n\n\n\nNo sweating required!..And it keeps the doctor away;)\nKind regards...

Both have their merits...have you tried walking at a good pace and increasing your pace with time? \nI lost a lot of weight just walking an hour a day and watching what I eat !

This is a result of your metabolism increasing (basically  your muscles are demanding more food for energy).  Just be cautious of what you eat and at what time.

First off make sure you do not skip a meal.  Skipping meals lowers your metabolism.  What is your height and are you muscular?  Remember that muscle weighs more than fat.  If you are not muscular and are pudgy then you need to challenge your body a bit more.  Since you already are active with sports and you can walk 10 miles, you'll need to increase either the miles you walk or the incline in which you walk.

* Lie on your back in a hard bed.\n* If you are a person who goes for a regular work-out, stop it immediately and go for a walk everyday instead.\n* Stop wearing heels shoe\n* It might also be because you might be putting on weight. Check your weight regularly.\n* If you are at office for a long time and over workign, then that might also be a reason. Take some time off every 20 mins after work and go for a short walk.
