Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can help me sanity check this.
I’m on month 2 of a fat loss phase. I track everything pretty closely, calories are consistent, I’m in a deficit of 300-500 cals a day, I weigh daily, and I get a reasonable amount of sleep (average 7.5 hours). I also keep a detailed tracker so I can see trends over time.
For the first several weeks, I was losing about 0.2 lbs per day on average (not perfectly linear of course, some days I’d hold water, then it would drop). Overall the trend is clearly downward.
Right now I’m on day 10 of my cycle (approaching ovulation) in month 2 of my weight loss journey and I’m up over 3.5 pounds in 3 days, despite no major change in calories or sleep.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of massive swing?
Is this just water retention shifting around hormonally?
Does it usually resolve later in luteal?
I know fluctuations are normal, but 3+ pounds in a couple days feels mentally hard, especially when I’m doing everything “right.” I don't gain this much in luteal or even during my period.
Would love to hear if others track closely and see similar patterns.
