Back on it

So with all the hustle and bustle I've neglected my regime to weigh myself every 5 days; fearing the worst, I hopped on this morning and to my surprise have seen that I've actually been doing pretty well regardless of my slips and the commotion of moving.

Since the 6th August (which is when I started dieting), I have lost 2 stones exactly. That's just under 6 weeks :3

That's shocking considering I only exercised for only 2 weeks in that time!

As if cutting down actually works in itself :0

If you keep going like you have already then I am sure you will feel it soon. Plus the knowledge of getting rid of 2 stone must feel great :-)

Tbf, my clothes don't feel any looser and I don't feel different in the slightest which is weird and considering how much a pound of fat is:

So that's pretty confusing, but I mean the results are there on the scales, so I'm hanging onto the hope that it does mean change?

Just taken measurements of waist n hips and nah not much difference there; really strange. Reckon if I share my concerns with a GP they would help me understand it a little better? or is that a waste of their time?

HI Hannah thats great although having read through all the posts here and checking back to find out you started at around 16 stone...if you have lost 2 stone you would HAVE to be feeling it in your clothes.

Losing 28 pounds at your weight should mean your pants are much loser and even falling off you. I have lost 22 lbs and started at 22 stone and I can DEFINITELY feel the difference - and I have lost less then you and substantially less percentage wise.

Clothes should absolutely be hanging off you.

Are your scales definitely working? Do you put them on a solid surface - I used to measure on a timber floor but because timber can move my weight would fluctuate 6 or 8 pounds until I put them on concrete to weigh myself.

Losing 28 pounds at your starting weight is a substantial loss - thats more than 10% of your body weight in 6 weeks which is a drastic change.

Definitely check in with a Dr because in all honestly no physical changes from losing 2 stone is incredibly unlikely - something seems off.

I hope you can figure it out :)

Yeah, I just don't know wtf..there is genuinely no difference to my clothes.

I've been using my scales on my bathroom tiles yeah; do you think their broken?

Can it just be 2 stone of water retention still? or just muscle and the fat is still there? :(

Yeah, I'll defo book an appointment, it's scary.

Not what you're looking for?
