WHY CANT I LOSE WEIGHT!!!! Never mind the spectacular 42 pounds I weighed today less than my recorded high - it was still 6 pounds higher than my low just a couple weeks ago. My trend has been going up. My highs are higher, my weekly lows are higher. My agonizing plateau officially ended with a climb upward. I avoided it for awhile by just not logging my higher weights - but they are sticking around and harder to ignore!
There is nothing to do but try to stay positive, keep counting, keep exercising, keep eating veggies and cooking low-cal dinners.
What am I supposed to do? I am not like the crash dieter, who can leave everything behind and hoof it up the weight loss mountain. I am dragging my life up here!
First, ((hugs)) Have you posted this in the weight loss or motivation forum yet? I'm amazed at the great ideas and tips people share. I also notice that the more specifics a person shares, the better advice they get back. If you share how many calories, your height/weight/age, activity level, general health...you'll probably get a lot of info. |
I feel like I have heard it all before. (And given it all before!) I am pretty discouraged but it IS the day before my TTOM. I'm sure things will look rosier tomorrow. |
So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
