In reply to Ally. Thanks, Ally, I've had similar experiences! But it's so hard when that's happening and you don't realize what's going on for awhile. Thanks for sharing your numbers!

This was mentioned in the post but I just wanted to reiterate that your cycle has a huge effect on weight loss. I’ve been tracking my weight daily and noticed that 3-4 days before ovulation and 3-4 days after ovulation I won’t lose any weight at all or even gain. Last month, I went 4 days without losing a pound, gained a pound, then went another 4 days without losing anything. That’s a 9 day stall. The next week I lost 5 lbs and the week after I lost 2 lbs. Right now, I’m in another stall. I have been at the same weight for the past 4 days and my period app says I should be ovulating today. If I continue to stick to my diet, I should see another big loss in 3-5 days. I will also gain a few pounds during my period but this usually only lasts for a day or two. Typically, my monthly weight loss pattern will be: 1 lb loss, 2 lb loss, stall/gain, 4 lb loss. It averages out to about 2 lbs a week but that gain/stall week really messes with me.

In reply to Sara. Hi Sara! May I ask if you've tried a Fuel Cycle with THM? That's usually the first step after several months of no weight loss. If you've done that without good results, I'd check into getting your hormone levels tested.

Jen,
We started a THM Sunday School Class at our church with the new year. It’s been great to have a large support group. I’ve been learning and adjusting as we go. I know I’m still 100% accurate on everything, but I seriously have been trying very hard to follow it. It has been 10 weeks and I have not lost 1 lb. 🙁 At first I actually gained a couple which I knew could just be my body adjusting to everything. I feel better and know I’m doing my body good but it is beyond frustrating to never see the scale go down……at all. Ideally, I would like to lose 15-20 lbs. Any suggestions?
Thank you for any help.

Hmmm, it could be. There are a lot of reasons that you could stall – accidental cheats, stacking your fuels by accident (that was the culprit for me!), hormone issues, thyroid issues, too many heavy S meals…have you tried the Turtle Facebook groups for THM? They helped me troubleshoot and got my weight loss moving again.

I lost 7 lbs in the first 4-6 weeks, but have now been stalled for months! I tried a fuel cycle and lost another lb but that was it. It’s frustrating to not see results when so many others I know are singing the praises of the plan. I’m wondering if it has something to do with body type/shapes.

In reply to Amy. Hi Amy! I had a baby about a year ago, after maintaining my weight for a long time, and now I have about ten pounds left. So to be brutally honest about myself, I'm not at goal weight anymore, but I think a baby is a great reason for that and I'm really close to being back to where I was! I have been on Trim Healthy Mama consistently since I started it several years ago, though, and it's definitely made the baby weight come off way easier than I anticipated.
