Today is my 100th day of being on my weight loss journey. I am a 36yr old female. I started off at 501 lbs, and the lowest my scale has seen is 458.2 lbs. That's 40 lbs. I am so proud of myself for even starting this. I was honestly just waiting to die, I had no life motivation. Here I am though, trying. I have some pretty gnarly barriers physically and mentally, and I'm doing what I can to move my body and stay consistent in my eating habits and maintain a deficit. Some days I eat maintenance, but most days i'm in a 1000 calorie deficit and I track everything that goes into my mouth.
This last week my scale has climbed by 2 lbs every day for the past 5 days, until today I stepped on it and it shows 470lbs. I understand that it's mostly water weight, but its SO disheartening to see the scale seemingly erase all my hard work and I feel defeated.
Should I just cut my calories even more? I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing to keep this from happening. I know most people can see a 40 lb weight loss, and every one online says go by your measurements, but at my weight 40lbs weight loss would be like a 5lb weight loss to someone who is 180 lbs, you just don't see it. I have a dietitian that helps, but I can't afford a weight loss coach even though I would love one. Does anyone out there have any tips or information that could help? Or explain why I just keep putting the weight on, even when I am diligent on weighing my food, counting my calories and tracking?
Thank you for your time.
