Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and it looks great.
Started W.W around 5 weeks ago, was doing quite well until last week (my Birthday week )
Up until my Birthday I had lost 7.5lb and was over the moon, then I went to my weigh in on Wednesday and had put on 2lb. Feeling disheartened but I know it was my own doing (Chinese banquet birthday meal, alcohol and cake)
I was 11st 9lb when I started, I am now 11st 3lb, by mid May I am looking to get to around 9st 8lb (I'm only 5ft 2inches) which would mean i'd need around a 2.5lb weight loss every week until then. I was hoping those of you with a little more experience of the plan may be able to tell me if this is a realistic weight loss? Would you say I need to be careful not to dip too far in to my weeklies in order to achieve this 2.5lb a week weight loss?
I'm one of those members that tends to dip quite far into my weeklies and my weightloss has been as follows:
week 1 - 2lb loss
week 2 - 2lb loss
week 3 - 1lb gain (Time of the month)
week 4 - 1lb loss
week 5 - 3lb loss
week 6 - 2lb gain (Birthday week, totally overdone it )
Any advice appreciated, feeling a little frustrated at how long it's taken me to lose the weight so far.
