Need a little Pick Me Up

cfred · October 26, 2007

Okay, last week was great.. each day the scale was going down..

I lost 4.5lbs total over the week.

This week is a DIFFERENT story. I'm stuck... the scale has not moved at all!!

Is this normal?

Don't worry, sometimes I'll go two weeks with no movement at all and then all of the sudden I'll drop five pounds in a couple days.

Don't weigh yourself that often. My MD says weighing yourself more than 1x per week if pointless. Female body weight can shift 4 pounds per day as it goes through Fluid shift cycles. So, be kind to yourself, weigh yourself 1x per week and see what happens. I have a friend that used to weigh herself daily. It become an obsession. Use how you feel as an indicator not some possibly scewed number on a scale.

Also, it seems like you are doing great. Don't worry about a thing.

Yes, if you lose a lot in one week it is quite common for it to slow down. If you don't lose in the next 2 weeks you may consider a fill. Good luck.

I agree that you shouldn't weigh yourself more than once a week. You'll drive yourself crazy! If you know you are eating right, you will keep losing so...

back away from the scale! :hungry:

<p>Actually I don't officially weigh until wednesday but after losing 3-4 lbs for the past two weeks I already know that i haven't lost any this week. I think it happens - my clothing feels looser today!</p>
