in Health and Weight Loss
So this week I gained about 2lbs. for the last little while this is how my weigh ins have been looking:
I'll lose
gain back
lose
gain back
I didn't think I was doing that bad, but obviously I'm doing something wrong. This past week I killed it in exercising, most Ive ever pushed myself to do. And yes I had one bad day that I went over my calories quite a bit, but i didn't think that would be enough to be my downfall..
Another thing I noticed was when I first lost and then gained back the same it was my TOM. At this current weigh in it's my TOM again, could that maybe be all that it is?? If so then am I stuck in the funk of being about 170lbs?

I'm just at a loss right now, and have been working so hard that I'm getting really discouraged and I don't know what to think.. Any inputs would be helpful please.

    Just had a look at your diary. Try adding a sodium column. You are eating alot of processed foods. I think you may be suprised how high your sodium levels are. It's much easier to lose weight if you cook from fresh and avoid processed foods :flowerforyou:

    I agree with the other poster, there is a lot of processed food and a high amount of sodium. I also don't see any water logged. If you aren't drinking water and consuming all that sodium on top of all the exercising you are probably holding a large amount of water in your body. Try to go for cleaner foods, skinless chicken breast, steamed veggies, whole fruits, fish and make sure you are drinking enough water. It really will make a big difference. Good Luck to you!
