    Wait, you lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks?

    Yeah, I'm stuck on that too.

    Again, I started losing weight before I started logging I lost about 22lbs in 10 weeks. Where is everyone getting 5 weeks from?

    And how long have you not been losing weight?

    I went 2 weeks without losing anything. Dropped about 3 lbs and stopped losing again for the last week

    So, you're still losing weight, you just have unreasonable expectations. Weight loss is not linear; some weeks you won't lose, some weeks you'll lose a little, and some weeks you'll lose a lot. As you've seen.

    Take your caloric intake up to 2000 for a week while mixing up your macro amounts(proteins, carbs, fats). In other words- high protein one day, high complex carbs the next, etc...and make sure are active daily or exercising. You have plateaued and need to surprise your body/metabolism. Trust me- try it.

    ...or you can sneak up on it and say BOO!!! That might surprise it too. :D


    Sorry. Couldn't resist.
