Username: emmclean
Weigh in week: Week 5
Weigh in day: Saturday
Previous Week's Weight: 184.8
Todays Weight: 185.6
Just a normal fluctuation I think, I've been sitting at 185-186 all week, eating under my calories and drinking plenty of water so the 184.8 last week was possibly less than accurate!
Got myself back in the gym yesterday and did a mix of free weights and cardio, really feeling it today, I'm stiff as a board! That's what happens when you take two weeks off...2 -

Thanks @craigo3154 for your detailed response.
In my case I never eat junk food or eat from outside.Never drink, eat pork, don’t drink soda
(easily avoid it),Don’t eat bakery stuff from outside(refined carbs).Stopped making sweet dishes at home.Make cake but once or twice in 6 months.Make pasta once in a month.Strictly checking over the intake of rice.Stopped making dishes that have to be served with rice.But eat or end up eating rice two to three times in a month.When I go grocery, in the end I throw all sweet things except one box of chocolate cup cakes without any icing,Sometimes some ice cream or a packet of chocolates or cookies to have it with tea.
When I got married 5 years ago and came to US,I was 170 lbs.And it went up to 198 lbs.I had been eating pasta,rice,roti (made from wheat) along with oily curry of meat and vegetables(our major food),potatos
( not fried),cup cakes without frosting and ice cream especially during these 5 years or all my life.
Now you have the complete picture of what I eat.
I am sacrificing pasta, rice but as you always say eat in moderation thus I am eating rotis. Oil is also culprit in my case.I have reduced its intake to half.If I don’t eat carb(roti) or meat,it turns out to be dangerous as after two weeks I eat a lot that all weight lost comes back.
I have learnt from joining this group that:
Calorie counting (Calories in is equal to calories out )
Tracking is necessary
Each day is a new day (we must continue to check and don’t stop as pounds come back )
Also you asked about any medical reason may be interfering.I had gestational diabetes two times.And it is on borderline now.Also I am taking anti depressants for 15-20 years.
(The first medicine had side effect and it made me fat like from 125-130 lbs to 145 lbs right away after one month use.Then the doctor changed the medicine )And then over years I developed the habit of overeating carbohydrates but gradually.I remained on 145 and160 and later 170 for a long time.
You have told about guessing the right estimates of food .I will ensure that.Also will make soups as you usually recommend but definitely make pavlovas too.
I am not losing much weight as I am conscious and keen to lose.With above picture, should I stop eating carbs altogether or what changes further I need to implement to see change in the next month.
