Hello, new to this support group. I try to exercise daily, mostly going for walks, which at one point has helped me lose 60 lbs. Weather is horrible though since it's winter. Only thing is I sometimes will be gaining weight when I dont eat much. Lately haven't been eating a lot and haven't had a desire to do so; only getting a coffee and maybe having dinner, but no real breakfast or lunch. I sleep through lunch as well. I am just confused as to how I can be losing weight and then its the opposite where I am not eating like I used to and now I can be gaining weight even if I move around. My body can never stay put on the scale and it makes me depressed. I know I have major work to do for myself then.
When you don't eat enough the body thinks it's in starvation mode and will store fat. So the body needs regular food to function properly. Even if you don't feel like it try and eat a small breakfast and a small lunch.
Well done though on the daily exercise and Super well done on losing that 60 pounds that's tremendous.
