Up .2. It's the same 2 lbs I keep bouncing around. I'd like to go down a few before bouncing around again, but it is what it is.

I can relate. I’m actually the same weight. I have to regroup and try something to shake things up. I may send a PM to my nutritionist. I’m going to work out my frustration by doing a super intense workout today. Wish I could use the sauna, but that heat is just too much for me. When I open the door, it knocks me out. Lol.

Hot weather for me means massive fluid retention and consequent bloat. SO annoying! And so I am 2lb heavier. Even more annoying. Knowing what causes it and that it is temporary does not make me feel any better about it.

That is annoying. I tend to avoid diuretics. Lately, I think the fresh salads I’m having are making me go a lot.
 
I've been reading this thread, although not posting here much. I'm pretty much the same as some of you; up and down a pound each week over the last couple of months or so... :(

Total Pounds vs. Week Ending.png
 
Hi everyone,

I see many of us are struggling, best thing is to keep going, sometimes the body hangs on to the weight or it comes off very slowly. Frustrating, I know.

Well, I managed to lose a pound this week, which is a miracle because I have had a guest staying who eats constantly and I had to keep them fed many more times a day than I normally eat and the temptation to join in was great. All I can think is that the running around after them must have burnt off some calories. :dead:

So, just 6lbs to goal now. It is hard to keep motivated, but I really would like to see a healthy BMI eventually.

Good luck everyone, just do your best, especially as it is going to get really hot again for the next few days! :cool:

Great news LeafyArts! ⭐️ You seem to be doing all the right things and your body is responding.

I had to be out the door super early this morning for a work matter and didn’t weigh yet, but will when I get home. I weigh during the week though and was up and down this past week, but I doubt I’ve lost any. I’ve done right with my food, though so I don’t feel bad. Maybe, my body is fighting, retaining fluid……idk, but I really think my calories are right.

BG has been super good this past week with an average of 120. So…I can’t complain. Still…..I’m meeting old friends for a birthday dinner next week (not mine) and I’d like to be at my lowest weight possible.

I’m at a loss as to how to shake things up….returning to intermittent fasting. I started that today. I won’t get discouraged. I love how I’m feeling and looking. I look forward to being my best. Oh! Just thought of something…I’ve been working extra hard on my strength training, especially my arms. I think I’ve increased my arm muscles! Another win, so…..

Thanks Prancy!
It does sound like you are building muscle and therefore converting fat to muscle. It can look like a weight loss stall, but probably isn't. You are doing very well with your fitness in general, so keep it up!
 
I’ve been around, but very busy. I wanted to congratulate those who did so well and commiserate with those who didn’t see scale progress last week. I was the same AGAIN! Lol. It’s rather funny, if you think about it. I still met with friends for a birthday celebration this weekend. Not mine. It was awesome! Took pics and I was quite pleased. We had a grande time. The difference between last year and this year is amazing! So, I can’t be unhappy.

I’m still working out. I worked out Sat and Sunday this weekend. AND, I’ve begun these exercises called Primal Movements. I observed someone doing them and looked it up online. Appears to help with core strength. Very challenging.

So, I’m not giving up. I will continue on this quest. I will attain my goal weight. I just bought 2 new pair of bikers shorts and ordered a new pair of running shoes. I am committed. Hoping for a better week ahead.
