I did intermittent fasting from April till July, and every time I weighed myself (which was like 3 times a week), a lower number would show on the scale and I looked to be losing weight rapidly. This was despite the fact that I was bingeing on junk food during my 2 hour eating window.
In the summer I let myself go because of work and stress, I gained a lot of weight, and in mid-September tried to get myself back on track.
I did lose the extra extra weight I had gained, but now I'm back to square 1, the same weight as when I started out in April. I got a severe set back when I went on a birth control pill that did not agree with me, which made me have terrible mental health and eating habits for an entire week.
My weight was 64.4 right before I started the pill 4 weeks ago. And I estimated that I should have lost at least half a kilo more by now. But no.......The scale showed 64.9. And I feel devastated.
My clothes are fitting me better and loser. I try (keyword being try) to keep a fasting routine and to eat a lower amount of processed foods than I used to. I weigh myself only in the morning before I've eaten anything. I don't do any significant exercise, just worked my way up to 2-3 hours of total walking time a day and do some situps and planking. So I doubt it's muscle gain.
Maybe it's bloating/water weight from how the pill messed up my hormones? I don't know. I just feel so discouraged.
