ARGH. Scale keeps going up! It's saying 279 now. I swear I'm not eating a single bite of anything that isn't recorded here, and yet my scale likes to tell me that I'm getting fatter every day! This week has been no worse than the week before, and probably better, in terms of exercise—why is this happening? I'm madly frustrated.
I did a calorie calculation and found out that I'm 300-500
calories below what would be the recommended weight-loss range for someone of my size and activity level. Is it possible that I'm freaking my
body out and lowering my metabolism?
I'm not going to make any big changes until after my weigh-in day (or perhaps after my period, since it is still possible that this is water weight), but I'd love any and all advice y'all can offer.
Natalie Jo, I definitely plan to exercise through my period—I can't afford to take four days off!
