Weight has plateaued.
It’s been 3.5 weeks since my weight has been stuck at 158.9 lbs. It will either go up to 160lbs or down to 158.9lbs. Super frustrating. Yes I’m weighing all my food. I finished my period 2 days ago, but I should’ve lost something by now. Feeling discouraged by the scale.

Beer helps lose weight.
Drinking beer while riding stationary bike helps lose weight, and this is why..... Alcohol makes the boring seem somewhat fun, so you exercise longer..... Alcohol converts to sugar, so it gives your body a energy boost and helps you exercise longer..... Thank me later, and drink responsibly. That is all. Cheers.

Curiosity - do you see a pattern in your weight loss
Since weight loss isn't linear, I'm guessing most people see an up and down pattern in their tend line. Obviously what you eat, level of sodium, etc. will impact your daily weigh in, but for those who are on a steady down trend do you see a pattern in how the ups and downs work? I was just looking at my trend and since…
