Just give me your thoughts? Also there is no right or wrong answer but just tell me how it affects you or doesn't affect you while trying to lose weight?
Well I started drinking coffee again in October 2009, I had quit drinking coffee for a couple of years. But I was going over my stats from 2007 and I noticed that my weight loss was sporatic and not consistant when I was drinking coffee. Also I was breastfeeding during that whole time so I was not drinking alcohol either.
This is my 2007 stats:
5'4"
pre preg-190
delivery-228
4 days -217
2weeks -202
4w4days -207.3 ( I got serious about WW after this WI)
7weeks -204.5
7w3days -203
10w6days-201.5
12w4days-198.8 woohoo I weigh under 200 lbs!!!!
13w4days-198.2
14w4days-197.3
16w4days-198.4
17w4days-200.7(I put on muscle,I was running my butt off)
18w4days-197.1
19w4days-197.5
20w4days-197.0
22w4days-196.0(I quit coffee after this weigh in)
23w4days-194.9(my hubby left for school this day, and Halloween is tonight)
24w4days-191.4
25w4days-189.8
26w4days-187.9
27w4days-186.3(Thanksgiving has just passed, I still lost weight woohoo)
28w4days-186.4(oh well I maintained)
29w4days-we had a horrible ice storm,WI was cancelled.
30w4days-184.6(started running again)
31w4days-184.7(started lifting weights again so maybe it is muscle)
32w4days-185.1(started my period yesterday, great timing I know)
33w4days-183.8(not bad for the holidays)
34w4days-182.3(my size 14 pants are getting loose)
36 weeks-179!!!(I have not weighed 170 something in years)
These were my stats from 2007 and mind you they were after I had given birth but still I think I can learn from these stats even though it was years ago. I was doing WW online and running, I didn't stick with it but thats not the point Im getting at. Also I wasn't drinking alcohol. But after looking at this I realize that I probably do need to stop drinking coffee. Plus I think Im starting to have side effects with it. This isn't to bash anyone that drinks coffee I just want to know what others have experienced while drinking coffee daily. I only use 1 tbsp of folgers instant coffee a day. I stopped drinking alcohol 2 weeks ago, so Im just waiting to see whats gonna happend when I cut I both things
I just want to know if it affects others or doesn't affect others attempts at weight loss?
