10-15-08 161.4 Help! I am steadily losing in my body fat percentages, but seem to be fluctuating (gaining) weight then, going back down a couple of pounds. Could it be my Diet Cokes addiction? Any suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks. VA
Fluctuating is totally normal - especially if you weigh yourself multiple times a week/day. I can gain 3 pounds one day, lose it back the next, lose 2 more the next day, etc. A lot depends on your water intake/retention; also time of day you weigh, what you do before then, etc.
Plenty of people will tell you diet Coke is to blame...I personally have a diet Pepsi addiction, and I don't blame any of my problems on it. I gave up a lot of stuff I loved to drop my first 50 pounds, but I'm not giving up everything so I keep the diet Pepsi and the wine.
I have 15-20 pounds more to lose, but I've kept the 50 off for almost 2 years now. I've come this far without giving up diet Pepsi - I'm not willing to give it up for the next 15.  |
