Just posted this on Jan starters but thought I would post here too, hoping to hear from any of you more "long standing" LL'ers who have experienced the same. I suppose I am hoping for someone to tell me that they too had a couple of low losses and then went on to have bigger losses as I'm so scared that this is how its going to carry on from now on.
Just back from WI (week 5) and absolutely gutted for the 2nd week running as only lost 1.8lb. I'm just so dissapointed as I have stuck to it 100% and although a low loss is kind of understandable for 1 week what with hormones and water retention etc I don't understand why its low again this week.
I know a loss is a loss but I can't help thinking that I could be on WW or SW and losing 2lb a week and be eating rather than abstinent, lets face it this diet is kinda extreme for only 2lb a week.
All that said I'm not giving up as I've come too far to do that but I'm gonna pop to the doc's tomorrow as I have quite a few symptoms of underactive thyroid that I have been ignoring for about 6 months or so but thinking maybe if I do have it then this could be a reason for the low losses, although I'm probably just being nurotic!
Will wait and see what next week holds but not sure what I'm gonna do if its another low loss as I still have 4 1/2 - 5 stone to lose which will take allot longer than I had hoped at this rate.
Sorry about moaning and hope you've all done much better than me this week.
