@@wilson33 possibly and you are probably in a "stall".

BE PREPARED, you will stall. embrace the stall. try on smaller clothes to see if they fit. you may be losing inches vs pounds. measure yourself if you haven't and when you 'stall" for a couple of days (or weeks - and yes it DOES happen) you will see why we say to "Embrace the stall".

search BP theres a lot of embracing going on here =)

welcome to the family newbie!

Probably just a stall. In the future when you are eating regular food make sure to watch your carb intake because too many carbs will sabotage your weight loss.

You should definitely work to get all of your Protein in. It should be your second highest priority after getting all your Water in. It is absolutely crucial to long-term health and success. Depending on WHY you aren't getting all your protein in, it could definitely be a contributing factor to your current stall. But understand that stalls will happen along the way, even if you are absolutely perfect with your water, protein, Vitamins, and exercise. Weight loss is very rarely in a nice steady line, like we want it to be.
