Panicking a bit :-(

[Andrea5867]

I'm on my fifth week of TS having lost 18lbs to date
Last week I noticed my losses slowing but thought it was water retention so I've upped my fluids
Got on the scales this morning (yes I know I shouldn't) and I've put on a pound
Pretty disheartened - i know there's no way I can't lose weight or inches if I'm 100% but never had this happen to me in four months of Cambridge
Coupled with the losses slowing down each week it's got me a bit puzzled
I'm going to stick things out but wondered if anyone has experienced something similar
Want to hold off AAM until week 7 as I'm on holiday that week so would have loved another two weeks of good losses before then
Thanks

You've done so well up to now, don't lose heart there are many reasons why you might have stayed the same.....you may be building muscle tone or maybe you are due for your period???? have a great day, think positive and stay strong! x

You may be losing inches. Take your measurements! I haven't particularly lost a lot weight wise but the inch loss has been incredible!

how many days to your official WI? i have learnt to stay away from my scales except for a tuesday morning ..as water retention is such a sod during the week it goes up and down...get tape measure out as Ames has just said...bet the inches are going xxxx good luck and stay strong huni xx

I share your pain, after having two weeks of STS! It's a difficult one, my body just seemed to shut down and I had no idea why. A few things I have thought about doing; more water, more exercise to increase the circulation and metabolism, more sleep to aid my body.

Have a hug, it's really miserable when the first few weeks are so positive but keep at it - the laws of physics say that the weight just has to come off sometime! xxx

Thanks everyone - I'm still 100% and know I can't fail if I stick to it
Holiday soon and doing AAM so technically still going to 100% then too
Think it could be TOTM - sort of lost track but seem to think it was week 1 so that's probably it
Hopefully the losses will be back soon
