2 weeks out, only 10 pounds down

[puttingme1st 143]

I'm trying not to get discouraged but tomorrow will be 2 weeks and I'm only down 10 pounds. I'm getting all my Protein and Water and have not cheated at all. I walk a mile everyday. Anyone else go through this? Any advice to get the scale moving? Thanks.

Yep. I'm 4 weeks out and have only lost 10 lbs . My first week home I dropped 10 lbs. the scale hasn't moved since.

You are still really early out...Your body is still trying to figure out what you did to it.

You've been living on a starvation diet, you've had surgery and you removed most of a major organ. Cut your body a break and let it heal and recover. The weight will come off.

I had similar feelings when I was very early out and my husband hid the scale from me. I was weighing daily, sometimes more than once a day. He brought the scale out once per week.

My suggestion for you is to stop weighing if is causes you grief or anxiety - it's not worth it. Take your measurements - this helped me greatly during stalls (I lost inches while in a 4 weeks stall). Also, take lots of pictures - it's fun to run thru the pictures and see yourself shrinking.

Don't get stressed! Your body is just trying to figure this out. It will happen periodically. You will lose weight! Don't get discouraged & don't cheat!!

Drink more Water, increase the length and speed of your exercise and stay off of the scale. Keep meeting Protein goals and it will happen.

Def just keep following the program and you will loose over time. (Stalls will be frustrating but your baldy needs to adjust. Look at the before and after pics threads and they should help keep you motivated????

You will be fine. There was a lot if Fluid to lose from the surgery.
