Hi. I've just signed up to Minimins but often read the forums here for help!
I've been following slimming world for a while now and have had some great losses. I got really serious about it about a month ago and watched what I was eating over the festive period with the aim of losing 1-2lb's by 4th January. I didn't lose this so thought fine, fair enough, water weight, pmt etc.
It's now 2 weeks since then and I'm the SAME weight ;( I'm meticulous with what I eat and count my calories to ensure I'm not under eating. I totally understand that people can get complacent but I'm not one of those people. I also gym 2-3 times a week!
The only explaination I can come up with is anti biotics. I'm on Doxycycline for 6 months to get rid of mild acne (despite being 25 years old!). But surely anti biotics wouldn't cause me to hold on to this weight aka lose virtually nothing in 4 weeks? I've also thought about thyroid but that's quite serious. HELP! I'm doing so well yet feeling discouraged by the lack of weight loss.
Any suggestions or solutions?
