    It's just disheartening when you're "starving" yourself and MFP says you'll lose 2 lbs a week doing this and then nothing happens. I'll just keep on keeping on. :)

    Don't starve yourself. Willpower is a finite resource. Most people will simple crash and burn with a binge. Which can snowball into eating up you loses. Literally! Find a comfortable deficit and stick to your guns.

    Could time of month be a factor? Many women hold onto some water weight depending on their cycle. Most seem to report gain/retention anywhere from ovulation through the menstrual period, but there seems to be individual variation in timing/magnitude.

    It sounds like this is your first month trying to lose; if TOM turns out to be a factor for you, it'll be easier psychologically once you've been doing this long enough to know what to expect.
