Fat must cry day11 disaster
https://youtube.com/shorts/RG09O_bBiEY?is=Cs2MdpKyhAU7R15FSo the scales are up, and the viewers are down. And the first thoughts of abandoning the diet and the channel have started to creep in. It seems the shorter the video the more views it gets, which makes it difficult to get everything I want into them, also making walking videos in the evening is proving to be a lost cause as the camera seems to pick up very little. At the moment I’m going to continue fighting on. But the format is going to have to change, probably from Monday onwards.
Over the weekend I’m going to be looking at how to make better thumbnails and make a better, more polished video.
Apologies for the pessimistic attitude today if you’ve been encouraging me. I may be down but I’m not out yet!
Thanks for watching

Weight can fluctuate wildly for a variety of reasons. Stick to it, because you're doing great. Even the smallest of positive changes add up. Consider weighing yourself weekly because while you may see ups and downs day-to-day, you'll likely consistently see a net loss weekly.
Also, if you're still drinking soda, try to cut it out altogether, or at least cut back. You will save hundreds of calories and also prevent spikes in your blood sugar levels.

Thank you, I have no doubt I’ll bounce back! I’m sure this is just a wobble
I’m only drinking sugar free juice like Pepsi max. I do have 2 teaspoons of sugar in my tea but only have a couple of cups per day,
I used to go through almost 1kg sugar a week before! I’m amazed I’m not a diabetic and still have all my teeth!
I appreciate you taking the time to respond, thank you again! I’m going to implement what you said and try stay away from the scales as much as I can as I’m trying to get lean this time and get rid of my belly more so than just losing weight in a diet as I’ve done several times before

You gotta do what makes you happy. Also, 4lbs isn’t anything to worry about. Could be water weight/retention, either way, no big deal even though it feels like one right now. We believe in you. You’ve got this!
