Weight loss slowed down

alexistexas33

I am kind of a paranoid person as it is
I was doing great the first 9 weeks, you can see on my ticker I lost 26 pounds
But now I just stopped loosing weight, everyone said that once the water weight is off that it will slow down, but I am no where close to any kind of healthy goal of sorts.
Has this happened to any one of you guys? I am doing the 2000 calories diet thing and I have not once been over goal since I began this journey
Any tips? Should I just toss away the scale since I feel prone to keep weighing myself every minute.

Are you accounting for your body not needing as many calories to maintain itself since it is now at a lower weight? 26lbs is pretty significant, and can change the amount you need by a few hundred calories.

If you haven't, you need to have MFP recalculate your calorie goal and see if the number it gives you changes.

If not, how's your logging? Do you use a food scale? How long have you been "stuck"?

I recalculated and it now says 1900, but I have been averaging 1600 anyways.
Also I log everything, use scales and measuring cups ect.
I have been stuck for a few weeks

Yes, don't worry about it. If you are below goal, it will come off. I went through a period of 3 weeks with no loss, but significant inches lost, then weight loss, inch loss, weight loss, after a while, it became a slow steady decline without so many stalls.

How long has it been since you lost?
