Help freaking out!

[Neverending_story]

Hi, I’m in the same boat but since April. Lost around 2kg even though I have been eating pretty much as normal. It is really concerning me because I look at my arms and body and it just seems like they have become skinny!

Yeah mine is 4.5kg in 27 weeks.... I shall have to go to the Dr and get looked at! Scary!

OK proper freaking out now!!!! weighed again and have lost another 4lbs this week alone - pushing the total to 11lbs since Jan 10th!!!!!

11 pounds since January means only a lose of less than 2 pounds a month. Scales are also flux by 5 pounds depending on what scale you are on. Again, there is nothing wrong with you.

You realize that's only 1/3 pound a week? I've seen this type of spiral and rabbit hole many, many times before. See your doctor if you're that concerned. "Told Ya So Gang" on standby

Hello

I just came across this thread. 4.5kg in 27 weeks is nothing, even if unintentional. Something as simple as cutting back on alcoholic drinks or carbs would cause this. Alcohol contains both carbs and sugar. You said you cut back on alcohol so your body will shed some extra weight fairly easily. Imagine what could happen with steady diet and exercise a long with the cutting back on alcohol. Hang in there, I don't see an issue here

Take care

Thank you. Can cutting 2 bottles out a week of Prosecco really make such a difference though? Also my daily calorie intake on my fitness pal app states to maintain my weight I need 2650 calories a day.. I have 800 remaining today which I wont use.....

Hello again,

Yes, cutting two bottles of Prosecco per week can absolutely make a huge difference in a person's body weight. Especially spread out over a 6 month time period. In regards to daily caloric intake, I always listen to my body. Apps are good for a reference and to keep you on track, but don't worry if your not spot on. Everyone's body metabolizes differently. Even two people with identical weights. Losing unnecessary lbs over a 6 month period is good for your overall health today and in the long term. Keep doing what your doing!

But you said....

I need to weigh myself again Thursday and dreading it

And then today...

Kind of blows that reasoning out of the water Its pretty obvious by the pattern you're exhibiting, you're in a panic and spiral. Despite 3 pages of people saying its normal, you still just can't see it. Hope you feel better soon.
