Everyone has been asking for my secrets and or more details on my weight loss for this past week. I can only tell you what I have done and what I think happened. I am not an expert on this. But I talked to my PT and he gave me ideas on what he thought was the reason. I also spoke to my kids PE teacher at school who is also a Personal Trainer a few weeks ago when I was down in the slumps with my NO weight loss, he expected this to happen and wasn't shocked when I told him about it. So heres the story.
When I found www.mamavation.com I was 311lbs the most I've ever weighed in my life. I was ready for a change. I applied for Campaign 7 and started competing in the MiLi challenge. I didn't lose weight for a few weeks and started getting depressed about it. Then lost a few pounds, and then a few more, then gained some back, then had the big number... Well Coach and I talked because I couldn't understand I have so much weight to lose why isn't it just shredding off me?? Coach said he figures that my body completely froze up like "Fight or Flight" and was holding on to everything because I had made too many changes at once. He wasn't concerned and told me that I should keep up and that I would see a drastic drop that more than likely I will see a pattern of No weight loss for weeks and then a BIG number. He also said that since I stopped my workouts I was doing and changed them up do to PT it sent my body another shock and is what helped the loss. I went from doing EAS Active to doing my PT exercises every hour for 25min and then walking aswell. Last week was also a very Emotional Week and I made sure what I ate was extremely healthy because I was so stressed out, it was alot of veggies more than anything... But that is my thoughts...

I was really concerned about you. Since you started at over 300 lbs. it's starting to make more sense. I think my biggest weight loss in a week was like 6.5 or something like that. And I was about 230 when it happened. The 20 number really worried me because rapid weight loss is not healthy and I'm very protective the Mamavation name and don't want anyone associated with rapid weight loss. I suspect the part where he said you might not see a loss next week is true. I'm thinking you might actually see a gain of about 3 lbs or so. If this happens, don't be discouraged because it always happened to me after a big drop.
If this happens again, I want you to go to the doctor pronto. Cause I worry about you girl!
good luck with your weightloss journey you are going to do great
