UP 1lb this morning?????? How's that possible??

same problem .. similar situation ...hmpf!

It could be the time of the month...water...your body fluctuates...just keep being good and don't quit. If you only have 10 lbs to lose and you've lost 4 already its going to go much slower, which is better because it will be permanent. Think about this as a life change not a diet. If its too hard then make it more do-able to permanently change. Otherwise you will put the 4 lbs back on at the blink of an eye!

Good Luck and keep on truckin!!

Make you sure you weigh yourself at the same time every other week.

But for the 1 pound could be water, or muscle growth (muscle weighs more than fat). So it may not be a bad thing overall. Try not to be into the number, if you go to the gym have them measure your percent body fat (that number should be going down).

I hope that helps.

I agree with others that you could eat more.

You need to eat MORE. With only a few pounds to go your goal should be to lose 0.5lbs/week. A small deficit helps ensure you are losing fat, instead of muscle. If you don't have a lot to lose and have large deficits your body will burn muscles, instead of fat, to use as fuel.

I suggest changing your goal to 0.5lbs/week, and to eat 75-100% of your calories burned from exercise. You will have a slow lose this way (0.5lbs/week) but will be at your goal weight with a lower BF% than you would otherwise.

I have looked through your diary and like some of the others I don't think you are eating enough. I realise I have more weight to lose than you - but when I "upped" my calorie intake I started losing weight! I think that would be a good start - eating 1200 cals per day.. The alternative is to sit tight and eventually your body will lose weight on that level of calories - but it takes longer to adjust and there is all the other issues - like headaches, lethargy ect. When I have done VLCD in the past I haven't felt "all there" if you know what I mean!!

I agree with everyone else. You need to be at least doing 1200 cals & eating back (at least) a good portion of your workout cals. Also, if you're working out "every day", you need to rest at least one day out of the week. I was working out everyday & wasn't seeing any weight loss until I forced myself to rest one day & the following day is when I saw a loss on the scale. Your body needs a day or so to recover, especially after a hard workout.

Did you measure at EXACTLY THE SAME TIME and compare to exactly the same things ie just after toilet before breakfast at 0800 hours?

Holy crap. I think if you're drinking that much water, working out that much and not eating as much as you should be, that's probably why. I think you should switch up what you're eating once in awhile, more calories here, less there. I think your body has gotten used to it by now. You need to 'trick' your metabolism?? I am no expert. But you can totally do it, good luck!

Glycogen and water retention. It takes very little of either or both to add up to a pound. Don't sweat the small stuff, just keep doing what you're doing. It's happened to me many times, and then for some reason I'll shed water or my body will use/release the glycogen and I'll get on the scale and be 3 or 4 pounds lighter. If you're doing all the right things, you will see the results in the end. Just be patient.

Oops, wrote the above paragraph without reading your diary and before reading the other responses. You definitely need to eat adequate calories and give your body some recovery time. If you never give your muscles a chance to recover and build you will eventually end up tearing them down instead of building them up.

Good luck!!

SOmetimes----take a deep breathe and realize----ITS ONE POUND......JUST ONE....... put it into perspective.....has it been humid at your place? how are your clothes fitting??? Today is another day......Just breathe and realize IT IS A NUMBER

HOW DO YOU FEEL?????

Haha finally someone else sees it!!!! 1lb of ANYTHING (muscle/fat/potatoes/candy bars) weighs 1lb!!!!!!!!

Yes, however when people say muscle weighs more than fat what they mean isn't per weight but based on mass. One cubic inch of muscle weighs more than one cubic inch of fat . . . and looks different too.

If your not reaching your net calories your sending your body into starvation which means that no matter how hard you get it to burn it's going to hang on to those calories like a person hanging onto a life raft. I looked at your diary and it only goes back a few weeks, not a few months . . . if you're starting out smaller it may take longer to lose the weight in a healthy way (.5 or 1 pound a week). Someone who has 100 pounds to lose can lose 5 pounds a week, someone who has 10 pounds to go, well their body just can't sustain that. Also, I know that when I have my period or am getting ready to I don't even bother to weigh that week because I always either stay the same or gain due to water weight. Looking at your diary I would suggest more snacks along the day with fruits and veggies and whole grains. This will get your calorie intake up a little higher and when you graze your body tends to use the calories more efficiently than when you sit down to big meals.

GL!!

I am no expert so all I can say is maybe it could be the heat or that time of the month or the carbs?

I really think people are afraid of eggs and then only eat the whites and put a ton of veggies and don't use butter.

I really think real food that provide a real meal is the only thing that will really fill you up and keep you going.

Go for it. Lower the carbs and eat a big breakfast and make it eggs fried in butter and berries and a bit of high protein yogurt. That's just me after a 2 month stall and earing every veggie on the planet I just went back to cave man basics and lost 7 lbs.

I am talking 80- 100 carbs total in my day carbs-fiber is net carbs

and I am eating so well and feeling so full and not thinking about it at all....you'r body needs fat and protein especially in the morning and especially if you exercise.

What do you have to lose try it!
