Up 2 lbs this week for no apparent reason.
I ate between 1300-1500 calories every day, with as many vegetables as my low carb plan allows.
I kept my carbs between 20-30 every day.
I hit the gym less than usual due to family things but still did something active every day.
I had a single glass of wine on 2 occasions.
I did not eat out one single meal.
Drank 10+ glasses of water daily.
I indulged in one medium iced coffee one day with half and half and Splenda.
I have no major stresses in my life right now.
Up two pounds.

Oh Elizabeth - that's a bummer. Maybe all of that "accounting" is what's stressing you out?!?

Wow. I hate it when that happens. But keep doing what you're doing and it will come off. I sometimes have a rebound effect. I do everything right and still gain a couple of pounds but then I lose even more than I would have. I don't know why that happens, but hopefully it will happen this time.

I know how upsetting this is but if you stay faithful to your healthy plan in spite of this current scale number you will be fine in the long run - it's just really difficult at the time! Keep up the great job and enjoy the rest of the weekend actively!

I think the weather has been a factor in my bloating it seems - I feel All we can do is keep at it... Patience, Persistence... and you know doing all that you're doing means you are 'healthy' no matter what the numbers on the scale say.

Who know why these things happen? It could be the weather (retaining water)or digestion. Keep going your body will be happy you did inspite of what the scale says. You are more than a number on the scale.Great work!

I hear you! It is so frustrating to know you are doing everything "right" but still not losing. Any chance your calorie burn through exercise has been way over what SP recommends? I've gotten a message these last few weeks suggesting that I reset my plan for that reason, and much as I've resisted that, I am beginning to think maybe I really should either decrease my exercise or increase my calorie intake. Whatever the cause, hope you see a reversal of this annoying pattern soon! Report Inappropriate Comment |

You're not alone, if that's any consolation. Several people on the 55+ team are facing such issues, but many have it as more of an ongoing issue. If it's just a one-week weigh-in difference, the weight might actually be down again if you weighed yourself tomorrow at the same time. Weight does fluctuate. And ... when we know we are doing everying right, sometimes we have to take comfort in knowing that continuing to do things right is what counts. Keep your chin up. You are ontrack!

Go figure. I have not figured out my body yet and I am almost 60 years old. Keep at it and you will be rewarded for your efforts. Fluctuations are normal so don't let it derail you.

No biggie. Water weight. The bigger question is how do you feel? And what is your goal beyond weight loss? How else are you measuring success? I think you're still a winner :)
