Just a bit bloated but I don't think this is a real gain, not too concerned

Hi everyone. Welcome to all the newbies and congrats on all the nsv and losses. To those who struggled keep pushing through u will get there. So I figured my problem. I will not do heavy lifting the day before a weigh in I will do cardio instead.

I've stayed within my calorie goal all week. I am unable to exercise due to a fractured disc in my back (doctors orders) and the lack of exercise and hovering around 164 for 10+ days has got me a bit down in the dumps.
Tomorrow is a new day but any words of encouragement would be appreciated.
You're doing a great job!
You must be doing something right to lose 40#.
I will try to post the link where I read an article about how as you lose weight, your body fills up the fat cells with water. Until your body decides to get rid of the water, your weight will stay the same.
But your clothes will feel a bit looser. <<--- do you do body measurements?
I can't see your diary:
Another thought is to reduce your carbs, and increase your protein.
I swear, carbs to me is like a drug! Once I eat 1-2 crackers, I want to eat the entire box!!!
You can do this!

Day 7 of diet, so it must be mostly water weight loss.
But since I'm not eating any crackers or sweets or night-time crap, I'm staying around 1200calories a day, so I may have lost 0.6# of real weight.
My clothes are looser;
My measurements went down a bit.
Let's do this!!!
Off to the gym.

Thank you so much for your words! I am definitely down in the dumps because I teared up while reading them.
I try with the carbs. I do good (meaning lower carbs, higher protein) about 3 days a week, then the other days I can only achieve "normal" levels. I weigh everything. Obsessive. I log everything. I'm not hungry and eat between 1250 and 1360 calls per day. I measure myself every 2 weeks. That has been stagnant for 2 weeks also.
I think I'm bummed about the fracture. I will allow myself to be a bit dumpy today, then brush myself off by tomorrow!
Thank you thank you for the kind words Amanda! It really made a difference!
Nice loss on your part too! I'm pretty short too! 5'2"! The struggle is real!
Have fun at the gym!
Thanks again!0 -

Whew! Watching my scale progress is like watching paint dry, LOL! But I've got lots of other metrics to measure success. Scale doesn't tell the whole story.
Successes this month, so far:
Sticking to my 2-3 strength workouts every week
Daily cardio walks (30-60 minutes daily)
Lost 0.5" in each of waist and hips, 0.75" each thigh since 1 August
Needs improvement:
Food logging. Too often I neglect the little tastes, licks, and bites of random things. Of course the scale moves slower when I'm eating more than I log.5 -

I stayed within my calorie goal all week. I started an ab crunch, squat and push-up challenge on 9/1 and have completed it every day. My weight stayed the same for the last 6 days until the 2.5 drop just this morning. To all who lost congratulations! To those struggling just stay the course. I was discouraged all week by the scale but I kept going, logging, exercising and it paid off. Patience is key.

It was a rough week for me getting my classroom ready. Kept up with most of planned workouts but my logging slacked. It's just a small gain and I'm not too worried about it. I'm back to logging everything again. Good job on those who lost!3 -

How is everyone doing?
With my new diet, I feel like I'm in a new relationship, you know how it's all fun and cute and butterflies when you first start dating someone?
With this diet, I've lost the most weight while feeling amazing, and not deprived and pretty excited about this new road.
Granted, I'm only on Day 10, but I am very happy with the results so far.
I also can see myself sticking to this.
Look at my lunch: vibrant grilled lime shrimp with arugula/cherry tomato/broccoli salad. So yummy!
Every day, I wake up feeling great!
Let's do this!

Did a weigh in today - randomly and I'm at 208.5 - whoop whoop.3
-
Starting weight 265 lbs
Weight 1st Sept 239.5
Weight 8th Sept 237.5
Weight 15th Sept 235.4
Weight loss so far in Sept: 4lbs
On track to get the 5lbs this month and almost 30 pounds down since starting this in June. Sometimes I wish the losses were bigger but I've been steadily losing 1-2 pounds every week and I've stuck to it for 3 months now without problems which is better in the long run I guess.
Everybody else is doing great, keep up the awesome work!
