For one thing I finally noticed my boobs are smaller,which I am not happy about! and secondly I have realized that I weigh the least after my period and then for the rest of the month I weigh more! So I have decided to weigh myself only once a month and be happy with that. Today's weight was 129 and I was 127 very recently. I don't feel fatter. I must have a lot of water weight etc all the rest of the time. Does anyone else think this is true? I mean I know not to weigh myself during menstruation but even all the other weeks besides right after are bad too!

It sounds like you're actually at a plateau, Little Minnie and your body is basically maintaining a weight "range" which would explain the consistent 2lb. fluctuation. At least that's my take. It's normal, when your body is maintaining it's weight, to have a fluctuation/a range of 2 lbs.
Does that make sense?
I don't know squat re: the hormonal influence, as it's been out of my sphere for a decade, at least. I do know about the booblessness associated with weightloss. I notice it in myself, even if it's just five or six lbs. Breasts are basically "fat/water." So, well...it's just part of the package of weightloss.

Sounds about right! I never had boobloss from weight loss ever before. Then again they might just be getting lower! eek!  I do think I have reached a plateau. I wouldn't mind hitting it at my goal of 125 though and maintaining that until next summer and then losing 5 more. That is my goal! Right now I am just concerned about getting back to working out. I have missed 2 or 3 workouts now from back pain. Monday, Thurs and today.
