Anyone there...?!

Hi
After losing a few pounds a week, I haven't lost at all this week. Does anyone else have this stop-start weight loss?

 

[Minerva]

Yeah, start-stops are pretty common, I mean it all depends on how much you're consuming, how much you exercise, hormone cycle, weather etc... as with any diet really. I have weeks where I hardly lose at all (usually around TOTM) and sometimes there's a big drop. The body does things if there's sudden changes to compensate, it may not show on the scales, but you will be losing fat. CC does work, it's not always obvious on a week-by-week basis, but over the long term you will see a gradual and consistent decline. Keep at it, don't get too hung up on the scales It does work x

Yes CC does work and I am living proof. I hit plateaus every now and then but what the hell as long as it's going down!

Weight loss in womens isn;t linear. That is caused by menstrual cycle.
Compare 1st days of menstrual cycle to each other and that should be more linear.

Cheers,
Joel

Yes it's really easy to give up! During that period I really wanted a delivery pizza and to open the wine that was in the fridge (also on dry January ). My husband said "go on! Have a day off!" Which some how had the opposite effect and I cc'd a frozen pizza with extra cheese and some ginger ale to fit into my allowance. I was proud of that achievement As silly as it seems x

Hi, I seem to spend my weeks posting yay I've lost, followed by gained. I feel like binning the scales!
I measured myself a couple of weeks ago & so pleased I did as I have lost inches from waist, chest & hips even though scales are showing I've gained 2lb! Pleased you got a loss this week, keep on going and well done for not ordering the pizza in X

Thanks Tibbs. Yes I think you're right about the measuring thing. Will invest in a tape measure next week!
