I had gained about 25 pounds over the course of a year. Ouch. It wasn't horrible, considering I started at 115 pounds at 5'7, but it just felt very quick, and I went up 3 clothing sizes, which made me feel horrible.
I went off my medication a little over a month ago, which was a big cause of the weight gain, and also started eating healthier. I lost 5 pounds super fast - less than 2 weeks. I thought 'Hey this is going to be easy'. However, I have hovered at 135 pounds for a while now; haven't gained, which is great, but I haven't lost either.
Is it normal to easily lose the first 5 pounds, then have trouble after? I just don't understand why I was doing so well so quickly at first, only to plateau so quickly! If you have any weight loss stories I'd love to hear them too, I need inspiration!
