Total loss for January - 1.1 lbs
Honestly, I’m a little frustrated. I’ve been working my butt off adding consistent exercise to my routine (and of course still sticking to my calories) and I feel like the weight is just barely coming off. It is my period week so there might be some water retention happening. I just feel like I’ve been working really hard the past 10 days and haven’t gotten much to show for it.
@Running2FitRunning : losing a pound a week is a very good rhythm for solid weight loss.
https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/losing_weight/index.html :
"It’s natural for anyone trying to lose weight to want to lose it very quickly. But evidence shows that people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. "
Also I am sure you really do not want to read this. But now you are about 25 pounds away from your goal weight. And there are lots of discussions around the fact that when one only has X amount of pounds to lose. It is not uncommon for it to come off slowly like half a pound per week at the most. I am sure it is frustrating for you as you have lost 44 pounds and want the balance to just keep coming off steady. But as we know weight loss is not linear at all. Hopefully soon you will have a week when you lose 2-3 at one time.
I know all of that. It’s not at all that I don’t want to hear it. Sometimes I just want to be frustrated and annoyed about slow progress which I think is totally valid. I didn’t say I was going to give up or do anything drastic/unhealthy to go faster. Just wanted to talk about my frustration a little. Not sure why anyone feels the need to give me a little lecture about how weight loss works. Just so you know, and I’m sure you don’t want to read this, I didn’t find it helpful or encouraging just annoying.
I’m also totally aware this is a crabby post. I wrote a similar response to the original post like this one and then deleted it because I decided to just let my annoyance go. I’m not deleting this one because this is truly how I feel and I want to be able to say I’m frustrated and be able to use this as a place for a support without getting little lectures about how apparently I should feel or whatever.
Agreed. People are too quick to a negative response on here sometimes. We are all doing our own thing, we all have our own struggles and as long as we are following a healthy lifestyle, then aren't we all here for support? Not a telling off or judgement
Maybe I missed some of the responses, but based on what you've quoted, I'm not seeing anything negative or judgemental. I think people are just trying to be helpful. They don't know what you already know.
All that to say, I share your frustration in not seeing progress after days of hard work! Hopefully we can break through this plateau soon3 -
Week 2 Day 7: 🦈 week's over so my water retention is gone. (I had gained 2lbs at the start of it) I thought was only going to (hopefully!!) lose the water weight but turns out I dropped another pound too. I'll take it.
This week's goal: 4 days of HIIT on the recumbent bike.
