Yep... Same thing here. Usually up 3-4 lbs suddenly in the days leading to my period. By day 3 of cycle it vanishes.

I lost weight on weight watchers I gained weight when I quit weight watchers I lost weight on Atkins I gained weight when I quit Atkins I lost weight on the zone diet I gained weight when I quit the zone diet I lost weight on optifast .... Well... You get the picture. When I stopped dieting and realized it is all about…

I went from 270 to 185 (still losing) eating lots of bread.

Honestly... I took a break for a year. Has gone from 270 to 190 (that took longer than a year lol) and I kind of needed some time to just become comfortable in my body. Kept the weight off and decided to start losing again in Feb when I hit 195 lbs.

I started at 270. 185 this morning. You can do this. It takes patience. It takes time. But totally totally doable.

You mentioned "bad foods" I believe very very very strongly that the reason I was 250 - 270lbs for my entire adult life was because I put a moralistic value on food. I ditched THAT mindset, worked on loving myself and fueling my body and am down 85 lbs. You can DO this

Hi! I started around 270 and I think I was eating 1700-1800. I'm down 85 lbs. I tried 1200 and it just made me miserable At 185 I eat about 1400

Yesterday I blew my calories out of the water. Honestly. 3200 in a day. Am really good generally about staying in my deficit. I just logged everything and got back on track today.

Yes. I really only lose weight on day 2 or 3 of my period. Then it stabilizes for month with tiny tiny losses.... Then a big whoosh a month later. I also have a really hard time around ovulation with cravings.

Yep... What they said. I started around 260 lbs and am this morning 188. Just eat at a deficit and it will come off You've got this

I weigh daily.

I tend to eat the same foods. I focus on fiber at breakfast and protein for lunch and dinner. Carbs for snacks.

I have a few drinks every other weekend when visiting my friend out of town. I usually fit it into my calories or I just take a break and eat maitnence calories for weekend

Absolutely I was the exact same and kept gaining and yo-yo dieting. Awful way to live.

I had a baby and didn't want to be in any photos Went out for dinner with hubby and I was 270 lbs. I remember stuffing myself at dinner and my pants were soooooo tight. And I got dessert! In washroom I couldn't even look at my face in the mirror. Now 4 years later and 80 lbs lighter

Yep. 80 lbs down. All CICO

I have lost about 80 lbs over 2 years. My mom only puts my heaviest pics on display... But she is *like* that lol

Periods are crazy things for weight loss lol. I weigh every day so I see that in my case I gain a pound or two in the days before then around day three of my period I may drop 5-6 just like that. Afterwards it levels out a bit. I agree with other posters... Try daily weight for a month or two and look for patterns

Yes! Yes! All of this!

80 lbs and losing And I eat ALL the things

You can totally do this. I started at 260. Am 185 and losing. Patience and time... Time and patience

Still... Why pay that much money for BS?

No. Don't.

I have lost close to 80 lbs with mfp. This is what has worked for me... Food scale and measuring cups. I weigh and measure EVERYTHING Prelogging. I do my diary the night before. I like to weigh daily but I do not let the scale number impact my mental health. At all. I have gone up 3 lbs one day, down for the next, up…

Yes yes yes. Love this post. I have gained and lost the same 15 lbs through WW over the years. MFP.... Down 80

That sounds awful

Yes. Exact same thing happens to me

Kefir, fibre one cereal, eggs

Never tried it. Never would. It sounds awful.

Hi. I am around your height and weight (5'3 and 190). I have read on these forums that mfp may grossly exaggerate the burn from exercise so I agree with others that you are likely not burning off as much as you think. Weigh and measure EVERYTHING and give it a few more weeks. Good luck
