Plateau + Cold= Want to give up! :(

[lucylu0802]

Hi All,

I am feeling rubbish and need some advice about how to say motivated!!!

I've plateaued and scales haven't moved this week and don't know why! I moved to ss+ this week and haven't cheated even a little bit! Haven't even taken cold and flu meds as been warned it can take you out of Ketosis so am feeling yuck too!

I drink at least 3l of water a day and have honest to goodness not done anything naughty! Any suggestions?????

Thanks :break_diet:

its one week dont let it get to you! i know its annoying and frustrating especially when you have been good but everyone has a plateau week at some point doesnt matter which diet you do it happens for everyone at least once some people like me have a few! dont let it discourage you, your body has to adjust to losing weight quickly and sometimes it just clings on a bit before going right ok we are still doing this i need to drop more weight. its soo annoying but you will see a change next weigh in dont dont give up and just keep at it!!xx

I really struggled last week as I had bad head cold. I did ss plus and had odd cheat but so glad I didn't give up. There is nothing like Cambridge for weight loss. Stick with it x

I lost nothing last week despite 100% ss & 4l water every day. My cllr says sometimes you just a week where you stay the same & it carries on coming off following that. I guess if you are ill too that will effect it. Stick with it, I'm hoping I see a big number on the scales on Monday that would've worked out at 2 decent losses. Stay strong!

Thanks ladies. Must say I'm loving SS plus, really suits me to have something to look forward to! Am a lot more positive this week and half way through already! Here's to next weeks weigh in! Xx

The scales might not be shifting but the inches might of. Sometimes the body needs to do this and will show a good loss the week after. I would advise against midweek weighing and stick to your once a week CDC scales as they are the same similar time etc as weight fluctuates from hour to hour. It will only disharten you and make you want to cave.

Hi x I had the same problem last week

I drink a lot of water and found that I was retaining water x my consultant said it was ok to take water retention tablets for one day which I did and when I weighed in I lost a massive 7lb! When all week at home my scales hadnt moved!

It is really disheartening when this happens but stick with it it really is worth it in the end x
