3 lbs on for me. Bit concerned as keeping active and low carb, certainly not having that many carbs to put on 3 lbs.
Cutting out alcohol and cutting way down on the cheese. Any other ideas welcomed

That is concerning, I don't know why, could it be water retention do you think?
 
Good morning everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I managed to lose 3lbs this week, which I am delighted about. I have a fairly long journey ahead of me regarding the weight, the first 50lbs is going to be just the start. Sometimes I feel a bit daunted by it, but losing consistently is encouraging.
 
As of this morning, I've lost about 22lbs in around two and a half months. Most of that was without trying either.

I look forward to getting up to the two stone lost stage, which I'm now confident about. Like @LeafyArts said, it's encouraging when the weight does shift.

Nobody's noticed, mind, but I know I'm smaller. Mostly my belly - visceral fat I guess - but that's good. My shirts fit better, and my belt has got to go a couple of notches tighter.

All in all I'm pleased, I feel much better mentally, too. But sadly it'll be next summer before I'll be beach-ready... :cool:

That is fabulous, well done! Yes, it will be next summer before I am beach ready too. Soon people will notice, I have travelled this road before and it is amazing how people don't see any change until we have lost quite a bit. :happy:

My 3 lb on has gone again, in 10 days. Stopped the daily wine that been a holiday "treat", cut back on cheese and kept any nuts in the cupboard.
Still struggling to lose another 8lbs that have crept on in 18 months

How frustrating, I don't know if it will work for you, but if I stall, I find switching things up a bit can get the weight moving downwards again. Sounds like you have already made good changes, so hopefully you will be rewarded by some weight loss soon.

Thank you. I have travelled this road before too, but I'm determined that this'll be the last time. See you at the beach next summer! :)

stayed the same :confused: I’ll blame change in medication, still around 3-4 hours sleep and feel pretty anxious a lot of the time.

Yes, a change in meds and lack of sleep as well as the anxiety can certainly have a detrimental effect on your weight. Cortisol I do believe, is the culprit, although I am no expert by any means. But you are keeping an eye on things and that is really good, when things are getting tough, I find I shy away from the scales and then things really go haywire. So keep on working towards your goals and I hope you can get a handle on the sleep and anxiety.
