    @KeriA Makes sense! On the other hand, my TP usage has probably tripled since I started drinking multiple Liters. I think I'm at 2 L again and it's only 7pm.

    Also, I didn't see this before, but sorry about your kitty!! Much love <3

    Yesterday was my weigh in day and I commented that I hadn’t lost much. My thinking for that was that Aunt Flo had paid me a visit that week. Well yesterday was her last day here. I weighed in this morning to see if my period had had any effect on my weight loss. Well lo and behold I lost 600grams overnight (1.3 lbs). Bringing my total weight loss for this week to 1.2kg (2.6 lbs). I’ve just entered my 3rd week and this information has been quite valuable. I’m wondering if this will be a pattern each time I start a new cycle. Have you ladies noticed any sort of pattern at that time of the month?

    Yes!! I was just going to post about this. Two months in a row I had the anticipated 1.5 lb increase (along with bloating, cramping, etc) for the first two days of my period and then a 2.5 drop overnight. The thing is, I also felt different - super light. Looking to see whether the loss sticks but it was nice!! Note that I did eat less when I felt bloated and uncomfortable, as I had very little appetite.

    Feeling a bit possessed by the green eyed monster today. -_-

    A couple months after I started MFP, husband did too. He lost about 50 lbs by the end of the year and a LOT of inches. Everyone comments to both him and me about how much smaller he is. I got more of those again today from my coworkers since they saw him on Saturday for a work event.

    I never get comments like that, despite losing 73 lbs... And my loss has stalled AGAIN. I've bounced up to 202.

    It's not his fault he had less to lose and that he's taller and more active than me. It's not even about him at all, I'm just frustrated and I wish I was closer to being done than I am and everything seems slower and harder since New Year's.

    Have you thought about going up to maintenance calories for a week or two? I'm trying to find the article I read right now (found it- it's by this guy), but if your weight is stalled, it might be worthwhile to take a week or two break, eat at maintenance, to show your body that hey, it's okay, we can keep going. And you can get to eat more, reduce stress, get used to the maintenance calories for your smaller frame, he makes a good case for it.

    Couldn't hurt, would be fun, might help! I've never actually done it, so it's up to you whether you'd like to give it a try. I plan on taking one such break in a month or two, when my weight loss is probably going to stall.

    I did that over Christmas and New Years, and it honestly feels like I've stopped losing weight as a result. I only lost 2 lbs all of January.

    Aw, sorry then. This stuff just sucks sometimes.

    @VictorSmashes I do add one packet of Splenda/some kind of 0 calorie sweetener to the grapefruit just to make it a bit less tart. Just had some as part of my lunch and it was delicious!
