Hi guys, this isn't going to be a whiny post, but I'm just more confused than anything.
I've been OP for 5 weeks, no cheats. Made sure to get my food groups in, and all my veggies. I did a clean Phase 1 and everything. Normally I lose more than I have. I haven't weighed myself the entire 5 weeks because I haven't been able to get up to my gym (where they have scales) and my own personal scale broke. I had a weight watcher's digital scale in a box of stuff I found in my closet yesterday so I put batteries in it and excitedly weighed myself.
I've only lost 3 lbs (and yes I was naked. TMI? Lol) Of course I realized I could just be retaining water so I'm going to weigh again in a couple of days after hydrating a lot.
Actually in the past I would have been so discouraged I would have went on an eating binge, but I didn't, in fact I was even more determined to stay OP. Maybe the last time I weighed myself on another scale, IT was inaccurate, and I've lost more than I've shown. Either way, I did lose something, and that's definitely something, right? I have no plans to get off track just because of this minor disappointment. I'm still happy.
I definitely need to start adding in exercise though, that's a definite MUST.
What do you guys think is going on?
*** EDIT; oops, forgot to put the part about maybe I consumed too high a number of calories somehow, and even though I've been retraining myself to eat more appropriate portions, maybe I just need to start measuring everything exactly to make sure I'm not over-consuming even the good stuff. I should also probably count my calories too.
I have a little food scale I just got and measuring spoons and cups and all of that so that's another thing I'm going to change. I will measure everything precisely for a few weeks and count my calories too so I can see what's going on.
