    If you just started working out, that could be why you didn't lose as much as expected- it causes increased water retention but only temporarily. Keep it up for another week and that should fix itself :smile:

    Yesterday I burned alot of exercise calories, but went to bed hungry and didn't sleep well. This may also be adjusting to a new schedule (I don't have to be in class until 11pm!!)

    I've also had a problem with exercise being over-stimulating, even earlier in the day.

    @samuelsson...low carb can definitely be challenging. If it’s possible, get the starchy ones out of the house or out of sight.....it’s really hard when they’re within reach.

    Absolutely -- I've done it successfully in the past and I know I'll feel better once I get the carbs out of my system (and my kitchen and pantry!). I need to donate the carbs in my pantry to others who want them. =)

    Week 1

    Starting weight: 194.9
    Goal weight: 165
    Last week weight: 194.9
    This week weight: 194.7
    This period loss: 0.2
    Total weight lost 2018: 0.2 :drinker:


    This weeks successes:
    • Back on board the tracking express.
    • I am very happy to stay stable with my weight this week. I was afraid I was going to show a gain this week. I have been retaining a lot of fluid due I think to eating out much more than normal; I can see it in my face and hands. While my brain knows the reality, my heart wants to moan and *kitten* and cry about the unfairness of it all. My lack of a gain is almost like a plus (this time!)
    • Exceeded my 10K a day step average.

    This weeks challenges:
    The Amazing Race challenge started this week. Always a workout!
    This is my last full week in a job I have been at for over 13 years. I have offers to go to lunch every day. That will be a challenge.

    He conquers who endures.



    Total weight lost: 31.7

    Yesterday I burned alot of exercise calories, but went to bed hungry and didn't sleep well. This may also be adjusting to a new schedule (I don't have to be in class until 11pm!!)

    For the past two weeks, I did lots of walking and other cardio around my schedule and felt completely satisfied with the calories.

    But now that I have more time to work out, I have a dilemma. I thought this would be a good thing, but it's hard to exert myself with more intense and longer workout time on the deficit. I set it for losing 2 lbs per week, but I found that I'm hungry and weak.

    I don't know if I should change the settings or figure out how to trick my body into doing more with less. I believe it is capable, but losing sleep to hunger doesn't seem right. Yogi bedtime tea didn't even help... and it usually does.

    For now I'll accept it as a transition time and work on a solution.
