Hey All, (well ladies mostly!)

I lost 7 lbs in week one and was amazed!
This week, I have been Super strict after gaining 3lbs as a result of a weekend reunion with old friends and too much wine in week 2 😁😁, but on weighing myself, at week 3, I have stayed the same. My trousers are a lot looser in the thigh and I was looking forward to yet more weight loss, so I was very upset when the scales didn’t budge!! I am premenstrual though, and I usually feel that I retain fluid at this time every month. So ladies, help! Can you relate to this? Thanks in advance 👍

Sounds like you have answered your own question MT. We all have fluctuations due to hormones so if this is a pattern you are familiar with, it may well continue for you. Or the lack of carbs in the long term may even improve things on that front. You will see from the other threads here that plateaus are quite common on this program, as is inch loss with apparently no weight loss. You are getting inch loss so you are going in the right direction. Keep going and your weight loss will soon catch up.

Thanks Janet. I think I need to be a bit more patient…..it’s only week 3….! 👍
