During the Pandemic I gained 9 pounds (since Feb, got the gumption to weigh myself in late April), noticed mostly because foot problems I have started to reawaken (I have a pulled posterior tibial tendon that only bothers me when I gain too much weight on my left ankle, and I am now developing a bunion on the right foot). Pain motivates me to turn things around. Before the pandemic, I had tried to do WW SP, CICO and If it fits your Macros, and none were working and at that point I had threw up my hands and gave up, and timing was right on top of the pandemic, so my motivation to eat right in March was non-existent. I ate whatever I felt, and there were so many specials for drive-thrus. Anyway, after I weighed myself I began a diet I hadn't tried in years, a diabetic exchange diet, which is a little tough but very structured, which is something I think helped, and I lost 5 pounds in about 3 weeks. Then I started having problems with water weight, and during my "female time" I usually lose 2 pounds and then gain it back when my hormones return to normal, but this time I lost two and gained 3 when it returned to normal, so I decided to try to switch to a low-sodium diet to see if that would take off those two to three, if all they were was water weight. Same calories as the diabetic exchange, and the only difference was going from 3,500 mg sodium to 1,500 mg. I have been on a plateau ever since. What is wrong with a person when they cut their sodium by over half, and don't lose water weight? I mean, at all? I have been 174.6 for a week. Doesn't even budge at the "point six." Is this normal?
