I'm ashamed to admit that I caved at 2 days (46 hours). Walked into the kitchen and thought, why not? I will try again.

Great work!1

Fantastic achievement!1

You're doing awesome, KUTGW 1

Thanks everyone for so much encouragement
Going low carb is really working! Keeping them below 50gm per day, that too from veggies only. No additional grains, corn or breads. I was so worried that I might gain some of the lost weight from my water fast. But surprisingly I have not gained back anything! In fact, i am continuing to lose more and most probably that's because of my low carb diet. So all you people who are trying to get past plateaus, go for low carb diet! It really works!2 -
I agree 1

Good advice! I'll try this !1 -
I hope your low-carb is exactly what you need!! You are doing an outstanding job.1

I gained 1.5 lbs since Sunday
Not sure why. I have been reducing my carbs and slightly increased protien and fats. Am I supposed to reduce it further? Or should I just give it a week before my official weigh in? 0 -
Could just be water weight. A few days is not enough to know for sure! Stick with it so you'll learn if its the cause or not 1
-
Yes, like 1Madgirl wrote, it could be water weight. It happened to me last week, and I was told the same thing. Now I'm down 5 pounds from last Tuesday--but it's not my official weigh-in, Friday is. Weight fluctuates too much. I'm trying extra hard to back off daily weigh-ins. It's not easy, mentally you feel lighter and when your clothes look looser, ugh. So tempting to hop on. lol
Is your monthly cycle due anytime soon? That could be another reason.1 -
You guys are probably right. I just can't resist stepping on that scale every morning, especially when I am so excited to see the results of my commitment.
@wsandy8512 I am due around the 8th next month so that shouldn't be the cause, right? Let's see how this week goes. I'll keep you all posted

haha i keep hoping my period comes (its a week late) so I can blame the plateau on my period ... still waiting...1
-
@mikseyniha PMS generally begins within 1-2 weeks before cycle, so it is a possibility. Doesn't mean you can't lose weight, the loss just may slow down a bit. :-)0
-
@1MADGIRL you could possibly gain, especially since your periods are late. I hope it shows up for you soon.
@wsandy8512 i hope that is causing the weight gain.
Its so nice to see so much support from all of you. It really plays a huge role in boosting my morale and encouraging me whenever i feel sad or let down. And sharing makes this journey even easier. So much to know and learn from all of you. Thank you so much everyone. I am so so so glad to have found this forum. Special thanks to @arguablysamson for welcoming all of us here 2 -
I agree with the others, I would wait a week to weigh too...If you dont lose you could try going lower with your carbs... Keep doing what your doing for now and drink lots of water too 1
-
@brendagaudette thanks for ur inputs. Will definitely wait till my official weigh in 1
-
I am sorry guys I just couldn't stop myself from stepping on that scale again this morning. I gained another 0.6 lbs.. I am worried now that my efforts would go waste. I gained 2.2 lbs since Sunday.0
-
I forgot to mention that I have caught cold flu since yesterday. Not sure if that has anything to do with the weight gain. Wanted to log the info here, just in case it matters.0

Remember, some do terribly on low-carb diets (I certainly do). Try the opposite approach.1

I weigh every day and I report my lowest weight of the week as the week's weight loss because of weekly fluctuations. For me, it is good to know what is going on and not mistaking a higher reading for a weight gain when it is not.3 -
I completely understand. I'm still doing dailies as well, I just don't report in until my one week weigh-in. I am axing the wee mid-morning hour one though, when I wake to pee. lol Just sharing wisdom I watched from Joe's Youtube on weigh-ins. :-D2
