Just been for my 4th weigh in and have lost 2lbs and no inches. Lets just say I wasn't over the moon about this as I hoped I would lose more, however I reasoned that my body was just sorting itself out as I've lost quite a lot in the first 3wks. However my CDC says I'm not losing enough and there must be something wrong somewhere, saying I must have a very slow metabolism or a hormonal problem.
Now I can hand on heart say I have stuck to CD 100% since I started. I have my packs as follows - Get up at 5.30am and have 1/2 litre water, 1st pack at 8.30ish, tetra 1330ish, pack at 1830ish. Generally I have around 3.5 litres water per day - and that's it (no tea, no coffee, no coke zero).
This week is my AAMW and my CDC has suggested I have a pack as soon as I get in from work (1600hrs) and my AAM 1830-1900. Then when I'm back on SS split my 3rd pack and have 1/2 1600hrs & 1/2 1830hrs.
Can anybody offer any advice as to where I may be going wrong? I wasn't going to overeact about the smaller weight loss this week and just hope that it would sort itself next week, but after my meeting with the CDC I feel absolutely gutted - and she just kept on going on and on, really labouring the point. I'm not stupid and I got what she was telling me the first time, after the sixth time I felt like just getting up and walking out. It's just so disheartening when I know I have stuck to it rigidly, when really some times I would have killed for some real food.
She also mentioned that I should start doing some exercise to boost my metabolism. I am quite happy to do this, and will start incorporating it into my day, however (a) I feel weak all the time, and (b) I have read threads on here that for some people exercising actually stops them losing weight
Any thoughts/advice on my daily intake would be welcomed.
Thanks for reading, and sorry for going on - rant over!!
