I think I'm doing something wrong

You lost nearly 9 lbs in 3 weeks. What more do you want - a unicorn? You should employ a weekly weight loss strategy that fits how much fat mass you have instead of eyeing deficits that on paper give you the quickest results. The less fat mass one has, the slower it gets and these crash diets focusing on massive weight loss initially will only net the same outcome - serious weight regain.

I want a unicorn! :sad:

I'd like a unicorn too - but not like the one in "Cabin in the Woods". :shudder:

I don't know what a "troll" is, but I guess I'm not one. lol I was just feeling let down with the amount of weight I lost this week. Thank you to everyone who was positive and supportive. Yes, I did WW before...not many times. And, I did lose quite a bit of weight. I gained it back due to health issues & surgeries that caused me to be inactive.

I thought you were a troll looking to start a thread that made people go ballistic. As it really does not seem reasonable to me that someone would be so upset with this amount of weight loss.

I apologize for that and hope you are able to make some lifestyle changes to ensure your health for a long time. If you have a healthy diet, being inactive will not make you gain weight. Trust me, I am in the middle of testing for lupus due to some horrible chronic pain and have not lifted since January and was told not to run in May, I am still sitting at 107 lbs. Being inactive did not cause me to gain weight, eating healthy is the reason I have not gained weight. Now do not get me wrong, you will see chocolate, cookies and cheese puffs in my diary, but the rest of it is going to be pretty darn good.

I agree with the folks who say it is water weight. You will slow down and losing between .5 and 2 pounds a week is a win! You can do this, you do not need to diet, just eat healthy, I promise it will happen. It will not happen over night, but it will happen. Just pay attention to what you put in your body. After all, if you do not take care of it, where are you going to live?

I have a healthy cooking page on facebook. The link is on my profile page. Feel free to check it out. I love food and eating. I am not going to not enjoy my life and eat bland gross cardboard food. I have created dishes that are delish, filling and good for us. Check it out.

I was just thinking the same thing! Sadly, I wish that movie had ended differently, it was such a good idea :grumble:
