Lost weight two years ago on Weight Watchers but gained most of it back in the last year. WW worked well for me but it's expensive. Trying to go it alone this time with on-line support.

Gained weight over the holidays.

Im going to cut out my apple and kombucha and see if that helps

I'm on birth control too. Before birth control pills, I was 109 lbs, I got up to 132 lbs at my highest, and for the past four years have been around 120 lbs +/- 2 lbs.

I'm not sure if the pills really affect weight since I'm in my late 30's, was 130 lbs in my 20's and 30's, but didn't weigh myself and know I was smaller than I am now also in my 20's and 30's.

Low carb will initially lead to weight loss, but to a certain extent. I dropped about 12 lbs and have stayed there for the four years. I eat 1500 calories, exercise most days (hr of cardio and then weights). To lose, I need to eat 900-1200 calories consistently which I won't do because it makes me miserable. I am never hungry at 1500 calories, 100 g net carbs. This works long term. I don't diet ever. This is normal life.

A lot of people here seem to have lost at 900 calories, but that is low. They were 5' to 5'2" give or take. I'm 5'5", I don't know where you are age/height.

Just wanted to give some perspective. Also, I do think you need to weigh every day. You'll wake up one day where you started and be frustrated. It's easier to fix a pound or two than five or ten.


Good luck!

Thanks. I've just been getting stressed with the daily weigh ins. I definitely weigh in at least twice a weak. Studies have shown that birth control doesn't cause weight gain but I think there can be some water retention. I've been eating about 900-1000 cals a day now which is why it's annoying when the scale doesn't reflect that I'm just hoping it will eventually

Yeah, can't go lower than that. Patience :)
