My next stall is beginning at 162 (162.6, 162.4, 162, 162) soooooooo now it's a waiting game. I should really try to not weigh in for another week rather than weigh every day and be surprised. Can I actually do that? Who knows.
I'm back up to 167. I went out of town a few days, and did a lot of hiking. Not a lot of eating, so I'm sure it's water weight. This time in my cycle, I can't lose weight, so it is what it is I guess. I'll keep carrying on! Just a couple of pounds gained can feel so crushing, but I have to put it into perspective and it's not so bad!
HiHeart, hope you can lose the water soon! My body does the same thing. Even though you know what's happening and it's not really fat, it's so demoralizing.
Today I was 161.8. Obviously .2 one way or another doesn't really matter, but hey, first time I saw that 161 point something, so I'm calling it a yay. Still going to try not to weigh in for a few days, but maybe I'll try weighing in on Monday and having the weekend off.
I kept needing to run to the loo yesterday and last night, and even today already, so the water weight is leaving. It must have something to do with travel.
I'm back down to 166.2 whew. Hopefully I'll be down to 165/164 tomorrow and then after my cycle restarts, I'll go back to losing and can finally be in the 150's! All that hiking and healthy eating should get me somewhere!
FINALLY broke my nearly 2 week plateau...seriously felt like I spent all of September at 167/166 but today I finally saw 165.2. Hopefully this week and next will get me into those lower 160s quickly...desperate for any movement at this point.
Good luck to everyone moving downwards… everyone seems to hate this decade so much! For me it's because 150s are just that much closer to normal, just seems like more of a manageable number, and because I spent a whole summer trying to get out of the 160s into the 150s and instead ended up going all the way back to up the 190s over the course of the following year… and I felt like I was cursed to stay in the 160s! Except the real reason I didn't lose weight was (a) I was bingeing and (b) just randomly eating calorific food even when I wasn't bingeing, like 500-800 calorie muffins lol.
Weighed in at 164 today! Feeling pretty darn good.
I went off-plan for a few days the week before last and didn't lose at all. I've been back on track since Wednesday and I'm pleased it's being reflected on the scale. Trying to learn the fine art of not sabotaging myself, because I really do make wonderful progress when I don't go off the wagon.
