Another -2lbs it’s been a week and a half since my last weigh because of changing the day so I’m made up with this!! Officially at -11lbs! I think this is the most I’ve ever lost and longest I’ve ever stuck to a diet
Well done!! don’t forget...not a diet! You’re doing so well! XxAnother -2lbs it’s been a week and a half since my last weigh because of changing the day so I’m made up with this!! Officially at -11lbs! I think this is the most I’ve ever lost and longest I’ve ever stuck to a diet
Yep this is spot on - your muscles retain water to repair themselves which causes an uptick in scale weight. Basically if you feel slightly sore you'll be retaining waterJust to say both running and lifting make me ‘gain’ weight even if I’m sticking to a cal deficit because they make your muscles sore which causes water retention or something...I can’t remember exactly but it’s a legit thing though. Eventually it plops off. Don’t have any advice because tbh I avoid exercise that isn’t just walking for this reason but I know that’s a stupid thing to do
Definitely not a diet, I’ve had a burger, pizza, sweets and chocolate this week.. just in moderation which I never did before thank youWell done!! don’t forget...not a diet! You’re doing so well! Xx
This always surprises me! I drank loads and ate whatever I wanted in the first lockdown because I was furloughed so when I weighed myself when I came back to work in october i was amazed that I'd only gained like 2lbs in 6 months. I did feel crap though and was certainly doughier than when I actually pay attentionFriday was my weigh in day but I have fallen off the horse for the last 4 weeks due to a new job which is FULL ON! I weighed myself today and glas to see I havent put any weight on for the past 4 weeks despite lots chocolate and one can of coke most days which I had completely cut.
I need to get back on it...starting today!
Yes it is so odd. I do feel much more bloated than when I was eating better. I have this thing in my head that the body gets used to eating less calories so the "marginal gains" are harder to find every month.This always surprises me!

It doesn't really work like that, it's more a case of as you weigh less your body uses less energy just carrying yourself around which is why your TDEE goes down, but if eating less you tend to have less energy so don't move around as much which also has an impactYes it is so odd.

Well done! Know what you mean about SW. Took me ages to unlearn what they taught. Finding calorie counting much betterMorning girls, weigh day, -3! I’ve lost one stone four pounds, this week was definitely the hardest with the snow and the sheer lack of motivation but I remember how I feel ever single summer and miss out on lots of lovely days out because I’m too mortified at the lumps I’ve completely changed the way I look at food after years of SW and the awful relationship with food they teach it’s turned my world around! Off to Sainsbury’s to get the 400kcal stonebake pizza Happy Weekend 🤍
Ouch!! Hope you're alright!Tried to get some steps in just now so went for a walk, full on slipped over flat on my face so that’s enough for today
The good intentions were thereTried to get some steps in just now so went for a walk, full on slipped over flat on my face so that’s enough for today
That's interesting, what is the problem with SW as you see it? I've never tried it myself but thought it sounded amazing, being able to eat as much of certain foods etc. Sounds ideal. I've always gone with counting calories.Morning girls, weigh day, -3!
