I am 1 year out of GBS and have lost 139lbs. My weight has almost come to a standstill but i still want to loss another 20ilbs before i get to my goal. Has anyone experienced that even after trying hard with excercise the weight remains the same then suddenly one day it drops by approx 2-3 lbs ??
Interested to see if there is anyone else who has experienced this as well.
Many Thanks

My weight will fluctuate by 5 lbs sometimes, but mostly stays between 2-3 lbs.
i would say if you are exercising it is completely possible to have a weight change suddenly. muscle is more efficient than fat. so if you have been working for a while to build muscle, you first experience nothing because muscle weighs more than fat. but as your ratio of muscle to fat changes it makes sense that the new muscle would then start burning fat.
i would just watch it closely. with us at this point sudden, large weight loss could indicate a problem.
i have lost 130 and now weight 130. if i was to suddenly lose 3 lbs, i would be worried. but i am not working out so i have no reason to lose.
good luck
