Why less this time?

[loukay1]

Hi all, had my first weigh-in today and lost 9lb and should be over the moon but when I did ss last time (6years ago) i lost 14lb in the first week, has any one else lost less the first week second time around, even though its years later?

me too

Im the same, I did cambridge 2 yrs ago when i had less to lose and I cheated in the first week and still lost 12lbs, this time around I was expectin a stone but lost 8lbs . I have found all my losses to be lower, 8lbs wk 1, 4lbs wk 2, 2lbs wk 3 and this is wk 4 and I have a weigh in tomorrow but I have lost 3lbs by weighing myself on my own scales. I'm on ss+ btw, thinking abt going on ss to see if that helps, but apparently theres not much, if any, difference in the losses. I read somewhere that the more you do diets where you lose weight fast so lose fat and muscle, when u gain the weight again its usually all fat therefore slowing down ur metabolism. Good luck

Hiya rachel, thanks for your reply, I have read some stuff the same :sigh: its so deflating though, second weigh in tomorrow...trying to get in the right frame of mind that a loss is a loss! I am doing ss as I cant do 'just a wee bit'
