    Do you consume diet soda or equivalent? They have found artificial sweeteners can hinder weight loss. I remember a lady at weight watchers years back had trouble losing her last 5kg while doing everything right. She stopped drinking her 3glasses of coke zero per day and the weight dropped right off.

    Diet sodas dont hinder weight loss by any standard as they have zero calories. Some might suggest that they feel hungry after but it would be a minority and only would effect a person if they ended up eating more calories. For someone tracking calories, thats unlikely.. otherwise it would be in their food logs

    At this point there is correlation between obesity and drinking diet sodas, but no causation - the strongest explanation I've heard so far is simply that people who are overweight are more likely to drink diet sodas in an attempt to cut calories.

    This reminds me of an episode of suits i saw last night. Someone asked Donna why she gets skim milk in her coffee but adds whipped cream, her response was she gets skim so she can have whipped cream. Totally nonsensical thinking.

    That is all, carry on :lol:

    OP - are you getting enough sleep? Are you taking a rest day? Your body needs both of these to avoid stress.

    You've been losing 8lbs per month, there is absolutely no way you suddenly started eating more than 1000 extra calories per day and started gaining. Math.

    You have been losing too quickly really and along with the over-exercising your body is likely under a lot stress causing water retention.

    Take a diet break of one to two weeks. Restart with a far less aggressive goal and make sure to use a food scale for logging.
