Hi Everyone. It's my first time to post on here and sorry it's a long one but I desperately need some advice please.
I started SW 5 weeks ago and was so happy and motivated when I lost 10lbs in my first 4 weeks,last week though I gained 2.5lbs! At the time I put this down the fact that i normally get weighed in the evening but for the 2 weeks previous i'd had to go in the mornings due to working shifts. So although I'd had a really good week sticking plan everyday and keeping a food diary,i tired to think of it as though id just maintained due to get weighed at different times. I was really upset and felt like giving up but I've stuck with it again this week,kept a food diary etc. I've weighed myself today at home (I know I probably shouldn't) and I've gained another 2lbs just since Tuesday!!!
Now if I was reading this I'd think there's no way she's really sticking to it if she's gaining weight,but I honestly am. I'm doing SW with my partner who is still steadily losing each week,and regularly gets slimmer of the week. He does most of the cooking,we have no bad stuff in the house except low syn chocolate etc. I always stay within my syn's daily,I drink 3-4 litres of water each day and normally do red days Mon-Fri and EE at the weekends.
Can anyone advise on what I might be doing wrong? I've actually spent all morning since I weighed really really upset because I want to stay on SW as I enjoy it,but there no point if I'm gaining every week.
