Hey guys and gals.
So i'm sitting here and reading through the forums about people hitting plateaus and having problems losing weight but has anyone ever been surprised by sudden or unexpected weight loss?
For example, last year i struggled with my weight but managed to get down to 131lbs, my lowest in six years but then due to a heath scare everything i had lost came creeping back and by January of this year i was almost up to 154lbs, which made me feel tired and prone to colds all the time.
So end of Jan i decided it was time to pull myself back together and get on with it. My aim was to get back to 131 in time for a comic con in May. Weight loss was slow and steady and as i go closer i began to reassess my target, telling myself that 133 would be good too.
However my weight loss never stalled or plateaued, although i was sure it would as i lost more weight. I smashed through my target of 131 a few weeks back and i've lost another 2lbs since!
I was completely shocked. Plus i still have 2 weeks until comic con.
I've had to reset my target and i plan to go onto maintenance after my weekend at the con as a reward before trying to see if i can get back to my lightest ever weight of 126lbs! (5ft 42" female btw).
I'm fairly sure a change in medication helped with this slightly but still...
I'd love to hear if anyone else has experienced something similar or any other tales of unexpected weight loss and the joy that it brings
