Yes, I get this too. It's my understanding that the body retains water during this time. I sometimes even go up a size :o It can be frustrating lol

OP, it sounds like you are doing exercises that are causing you to gain muscle and that's why your weight went up but you are still the same dress/pants size.

I'm in! I would like to lose 5 pounds this month as well. I'll also do the same things as OP :smile: My ultimate goal is to lose 10 pounds before my birthday in November. I'm excited for this challenge! I think the hardest part will be no cheat meals :'(

I love Planet Fitness and I have been going there for years. I was at a community college for two years and went while I was there as well. Perfect place for someone on a college budget in my opinion. My current planet fitness has added a lot of cool equipment that I like using for my resistance training but that aspect…

thank you!

ahh thank you, i am quite a fan of that idea :) i also love oatmeal

luck you -_- not the case with me. i will eat almost anything in sight.

I definitely need to eat better breakfasts haha :)

I will try this! Thank you!

i'm surprised so many people responded. thank you for helpful advice :)

thanks for the tip!

Thanks, I usually work out at night and am starving by then. I will try morning workouts.

A friend of mine has recommended shakes. Thank you!

I think that this is just how my body is. This usually happens to me after I do a cardio workout.

Thanks! I think eating protein is a good idea. Since I am a college student, it usually ends up being whatever I can find. And yes, I agree with what you said was the long-term aim.

Congratulations! Keep up your good, hard work :)

Here are some ideas: -Completely give up sugar -Change up your exercise routine. You may need to up the intensity or try a different kind of workout -Cut out bread. Not necessarily all carbs though. If you cut out bread that could make a difference. That's all I have right now!

Have you cut back on your calories? As far as I know, when you start losing weight, your calorific needs change.

You are so pretty! :)
