Janet610 76 Posted March 16, 2018 I can relate... went to a party and had some cheese, pepperoni and FIVE triscuit crackers. next Day was up 4 pounds. My gym guy said probably the salt but I was like are you serious??? 7 mos out and the scale hasn’t moved in a month. Down 115 lbs but need to jump start things again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaLaDee 519 Posted March 16, 2018 I think those super fast weight gains have to be mostly Water retention. Particularly where you usually have a strict diet and then you're having salt and highly processed food. A week back on track should take care of it! You can do it!

Jeaniered 183 Posted March 21, 2018 I stalled for about 2 weeks and was getting frustrated then I realised When I looked at my tracker that I had gradually slipped on my Water intake. So I upted it back up to 65 Fluid ounces and I’m loosing again. 3 pounds this week. Hard to get it all in but it’s worth it. Keep at it August pals x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreamynow 136 Posted April 5, 2018 Hi. I have not been on in a while. But all of a sudden I’m losing weight again. I feel great. Down 75 pounds and people are like- ‘stop losing’. You look so thin’. How nice is that. But most importantly I feel great. Like I’m light. I run around with so much energy. My hair is getting back it’s thickness and luster as well. I just wish this weather would get to spring already so I can walk. I hope others doing well too! HW. 289SW. 284Height. 5’8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeaniered 183 Posted April 5, 2018 Hi doing good too had a stall but moving again. Have lost 88 pounds now and feel fantastic. Between a uk 16-18 size. Legs are slow to shift weight from but getting there. Doing so much more walking and swimming and going to start cycling once weather gets better. Love my new life! 1 Kmccor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FabBy55 46 Posted April 5, 2018 scale still moving! Down 75 pounds and still hopingto hit the 100 pound mark by one year. I had a super stall for about 2 weeks as well. Had to restrict the carbs to move the scale along. I strength train with a personal trainer twice a week. Last week they took my body fat and it has gone down 3% since January. By some calculation they do I have actually lost 9 more pounds of fat taking into consideration the muscle I’ve gained. Also walking more now that it’s warmer in Texas!But still losing my hair by the handfuls. I swear for every pound I lose a portion of that is my hair!And the clothes! Geez I have spent a fortune just to have something to wear. 1 1 etc. etc. etc. and Jeaniered reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XYZXYZXYZ1955 675 Posted April 5, 2018 I gained ten pounds while living in a motel for three weeks (without my scale and with a microwave for cooking). Still not quite sure how that happened . . . have been staying with a friend and have lost that ten pounds again (and one more since then). So, back going in the right direction. It's been a rough few months--I should be able to get into an apartment of my own in three weeks, at long, long last. And then I'll be in charge of what I eat and so on--though, to be fair, the friend I'm with now eats very, very healthily. So that helps . . . but I really want to live on my own like a real grownup again. 1 Jeaniered reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaLaDee 519 Posted April 6, 2018 Hey everyone! So good to see people active on this thread again! I'm doing OK. Still losing. I've lost 60kg now (132lbs) in total. Would love to lose another 10kg (22lbs) but we'll see how we go. I've also been spending big on clothes. I just have these endless piles of clothes around the house. I feel weird about throwing them I'm heading to New York for two weeks, and although I've been avoiding bread, rice, potato, processed carbs etc, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to end up indulging a little. Hoping not to gain more than a few kgs! I don't want to track food while I'm on vacation though! I still have to be sensible most of the time though. 2 Jeaniered and etc. etc. etc. reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allie589 171 Posted April 6, 2018 Anyone else struggling with wrapping your head around your weight loss?? I’m so used to failing in this dept that I have not allowed myself to enjoy this feeling-I know what it’s like to feel good and then fail and lose the good feeling. Shopping is a double edged sword, I love it and hate it at the same time. I’m dealing with this total mind f#%* which I wasn’t expecting at all.

Janet610 76 Posted April 6, 2018 Allie589 I’m in the same boat. Down 120 lbs and haven’t bought anything new except a shirt I needed for school (I’m a teacher) and I still bought a 3x. It’s all I know. I’m afraid of having to buy clothes because it’s always been a not fun experience. Trying to get my head around this but I still have a ways to go HW 356 SW 343 CW 233 3 1badassbiggurl, GizzlyKitten and PasadenaMom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
