Ms.Moon 18 Posted June 3, 2020 I have been doing well. I went to the doctor a couple months ago and she told me she didn’t like my cholesterol and I had the beginning of fatty liver and she gave me pills for that but that freaked me out and I joined Noom to loose weight instead. It has been a journey to say the least. I have been working from home for eleven weeks due to COVID and I really used the time to my advantage I have been walking for at least an hour a day six days a week. It has been paying off I have officially lost over twenty pounds but now I am having anxiety over it. I had plateaued for a few weeks then I started loosing again. I have noticed that after my period I will drop like three pounds I am guessing I retain water during my period I usually go down like a half pound a day but this past week I have lost a pound a day and it’s freaking me out a bit because I started out with this sort of weight loss but I didn’t maintain it. I did walk a little bit more this week than usual because the weather has been nicer. I am trying to not sabotage myself by not sticking to my diet. I am on a diet I am supposed to loose weight.

MARC 431 Posted June 14, 2020 The only time weight loss is a concern is if your weight loss is greater then 10% of your body weight and you are not on a diet, did not change your eating habits, not exercising more, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I scared myself a lot because I weighed myself after exercise and I lost a great deal of fluid. I have been weighing myself after exercise and it wasn’t much of a difference when it was colder but now I am sweating more and it’s affecting my weigh ins.

AOKAY 0 Posted June 19, 2020 I agree with Marc. Don’t sweat the weight fluctuations. And please don’t weigh yourself more than once a week. I am genetically thin and have had inflammatory bowel disease nearly my entire life. My weight can swing 10 pounds up or down from my base weight of 140 pounds. During stressful periods weight drops off. When calm I gain it all back and then some. During the current COVID lockdown I am calm, but have increased my exercise program so weight is dropping. A little more ice cream should correct that; my reward for a great workout! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elena bey 0 Posted July 29, 2020 I think it is not just fair that you gain anxiety to lose weight. Anxious feelings can lead you to binge eating which will push your weight further. I will suggest you to calm down and find your peace with -Healthy lifestyle -Probiotic diet , e.g add ginseng and turmeric in diet😚 -Make sure to lose weight but drinking water the right way :https://mangoclinic.com/inspirational-weight-loss-case-study/ this how you build lean muscle and lose weight on rest - Do not completely cut on food- starvation will deplete your body of good minerals. * Within the menstrual cycle , you will retain fluid like I do, and really I go down by 2 kilos and the belly sticks out so it is NORMAL. Do not worry. -Try adding lemon brass and coffee( but skip the coffee part when on period) Bless- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
