I have not lost weight in three days. I think I've hit a plateau. Should I increase my points? I think my body is in starvation mode.

;)

    Hi Al. Maybe it is because a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat.

    It's probably due to sodium.

    Nice to see familiar faces. I need to check in here more often. I'm back in weight loss mode, having lost half of the 20 pounds I added last year. I'm using my version of Points Plus.

    You are at your Set Point, your weight is fixed at that weight even if you you lose you will gain back to the Set Point.

    Have you tried intermittent fasting? I fast everyday from about 8 until noon and noon to 6ish. Except for snacks of course. Then about 10pm I close the kitchen.

    Oh and I ate way too much kale and brussels sprouts. I do remember thinking that my body would rebel so much (set-point?) at about 175-178 lb that it wouldn't lose more weight. On WW I sailed past my bias and woke up below 165 LB. Better not to overthink it too much and see what happens. Oh and I too love the ole time of day theory. My theory is that anything consumed or drank after 8pm doesn't count?? teehee.

    My guess is the weight gain is not your fault. There's probably someone sabotaging your efforts.

    It’s because you are transitioning from a man to a woman? You know having a set makes you drop weight like a hot skillet....😆😆

    Derrick, in days BC (before Covid) I rarely had time to be online. And while I am now WFH, there’s no one looking over my shoulder. Thanks to Greg, I just rediscovered MFP and GoaD here. perhaps my wisdom will flow more all over this message board. Oh wait. TPis in short supply now..😆😆😆

    Whatever you do, do not get in a jacuzzi with two obese women while eating a kilo of grapes.
