What do you do with a disappointing weight loss?

[bayareanan 24]

I weighed in today with a 3 lb weight gain for the last month. Prior to this I lost 6 lbs over 2 weeks.

I am naturally disappointed but I was not perfect.

How do you regroup after a disappointing weigh in?

Me? Imam having wine tonight and will regroup for the next 6week weigh in.

Pick yourself up and dust yourself off! You are averaging 6 pounds per month. That is awesome! You will have setbacks from time to time. Don't let it get you down. Sometimes our bodies regroup and take a break. Keep doing the right things most of the time and it will pick up again.

Keep up the good work!!

I agree with cocoa! I let it get the best of me for tooooooooo long and got a point where I did not care. Now i am back on track and am wondering why i let it get to me!! Sometimes you plateau and sometimes you lose a lot! just get back on and stay positive! Good luck with your journey!

It happens to the best of us and I think you have already been given the best advice in the posts before mine. Our bodies vary in weight for so many different reasons, a 3 pound gain could be the fact that you weighed yourself at the wrong time or had a late dinner!! Don't be discouraged, just keep your head up and know you are heading in the right direction - your progress has been great, keep up the good job!

Good luck!

I usually add this experience to these types of posts. I was tired yesterday. But my losses went is starts and stops. I lose 1 lb in a week, then be the same for one, lose 2, up 1, same, same, down 3, up 2, down 1, same, same, same, down 4.

For me, it was not steady, but the trend was down! I averaged 3/4 of a pound per week. Lower than the "advertised" 1-2 pounds per week. But once I figured out how my body let go of the weight, it was all good!!

Just please don't say phooey, I'm going to have a milkshake! Follow your band rules. You said you were not perfect. That's OK. But is it a sign that you might need a fill? Were you more hungry? Perhaps it is time to see your surgeon for a touch up fill.
