do you lose weight slower if your already small?

[shay85]

hi,
i started induction exactly 2 weeks today, i used to weigh 133, but i went down to 125 by the 10th day, and since then i gained 2 pounds. i got my period during the last week of induction, so i've been eating more, but i havent cheated, even though i do noticed that i eat more and often, even late. are we not suppose to eat late? i just cant help my cravings. i feel like i stoped losing weight and that im gaining it all back. is it my period or because im eating more, or is it because im small, the weight comes of slower?
HELP!!

I always gain water weight when TOM comes to visit. Also, I get the munchies like nobody's business.
Just stick to munching on the "legal" stuff and you will be fine. When TOM leaves town you will see the scales drop more than likely.

Yes as DLS says there is water weight associated with your period so that is most likely the cause of the gain, i sometimes gain up to 8 lbs!

And yes you will lose weight much slower than those that have much more to lose if you don't have very much to lose.

I always gain 4 pounds during my TOM..water weight that soon disappears

You're doing great - keep it up!

I am taking a train to bloat city right now - TOM should start this weekend...Even though I know it's water weight, I still don't like seeing my numbers on the scale go up...

Yes, it does take longer to shed those last few lbs. Super frustrating, but you'll get there!

Hi, Shay! Maybe you could post a typical day's Induction menu, just in case something is amiss?
