I don't know why I'm gaining weight!
I used to work out 7 days a week before I got my job at a large superstore. When I first got the job in Novemeber I stopped working out because the job was really tiring. Well at first I was losing weight because the job is quite phsyical and we do a lot of running around.
But Ive noticed in the last month that my jeans are skin tight on me that used to be loose. I don't know why I'm gaining weight, I've even started walking again after work and quit drinking diet pop, I am only drinking water and tea. I'm getting desperate to lose weight because I'm going to be a bridesmaid at the end of April.
Does anyone have any ideas why my weight is ballooning? And how I can lose about 15 pounds before the end of April?

I wouldn't say go back to working out 7 times a week, at least not right away. You're going to wipe yourself out quickly. Your job may be physical but it's still not as rigorous as your workouts were. When your body gets used to a particular routine, it's stops working to burn fat and you're sort of at a standstill. Go back to your workouts. But go slowly. Do one or two days a week at first, try doing it after work but with enough time to unwind before going to bed. Keep on with the water and tea, pop is nothing but a filler that just bloats you anyway. Do more muscle toning exercises. Cardio alone is not enough to burn fat. You need to balance it with muscle building workouts for the best results.

Your body was accustomed to your workout. That is why you are gaining weight, regardless of what you do. It affects your metabolism. No matter what you eat or drink (as long as you do it in the right portions) your weight will always stay about the same unless your activity changes. I assume you are not obese, which means walking will not help much at all. Going back to working out 7 days a week is your only solution to lose the weight by April.
