Thanks @TheClitterati!
Let me deal with your post by first reminding you that we are in week 3 - notorious for seeing weight loss stop or even reverse. So it could well just be that. But for the rest:
I'm in a bit of a funk too - I seem to be gaining weight!!! I am sticking to the plan drinking the water and apart from a handful of raw almonds, I'm still on BC. Swimming 3 times a week, weights 2-3 times a week.
How many almonds, how many times a week? I know we're in Bootcamp Light, but it's very easy to overeat nuts.
My scales seem to be all over the place & I don;t trust them - but still even if the number are wrong they are still relative to each other.
First, are you only weighing once a day, first thing? There's no point weighing at any other time of the day, as all you'll be weighing is what you've eaten and drunk. If you are only weighing first thing, once a day, then are your scales on a hard, flat surface? If not, this could explain the variation. And if they're battery-operated, it could indicate that the batteries need to be changed.
I'm not giving up but I'm feeling confused. I'm committed for the 10 weeks.
Good! Sometimes we just have to KOKO even if we know we've been following the plan. And remember - the scales don't always tell the truth! Have you been taking your measurements? Are your clothes feeling any loose?
When your weight can fluctuate by 2-4lbs a day, you can;t really feel good about a 4lb loss - as it can be entirely transitroy
If you're getting stressed by daily weighing, perhaps step back and only weigh once a week? Your body weight does fluctuate naturally day by day, and especially around your period.
I've started logging food for a few days on MFP to make sure I'm not going way over calorie wise and I don't seem to be - Monday for example I was quite under for calories, (1600cals consumed)
Stop worrying about calories! They really don't matter at this stage of Bootcamp.^
... but my carbs were 66g apparently - I think a peanut butter/celery snack tipped me over the edge as everything else was pretty low carb and all from coleslaw/brocolli/peanut butter etc rather than any actual high carb food??
Peanut butter and coleslaw can be pretty high in carbs, depending on which brand you've chosen. And you'd be far better getting your carbs from other vegetables.
You may be learning that this amount of carbohydrate is simply too much for you. The problem is that everyone responds to carbs differently; some people can tolerate more than others. TBH, for Bootcamp, it does sound like it's a bit high, so I'd look to knock the peanut butter, almonds and coleslaw on the head for a bit.
Fat was 66gms on this day. Fairly typical days food too.
Your fat should be higher than your carbs, and your protein should be higher than your carbs as well - the proportions we're looking for are high fat, medium protein and low carbs. How many grams of protein did you have?
What cab count are we looking to hit? I feel like I've been so good and yet the carbs are too high?
See above!
As @prettybird says, list out for us what you've been eating and drinking over the last 3 days and let's see if we can spot anything that might help.
