Well my weigh has slowed down know, infact I think its frozen, LOL I weigh in on a Wed, and was 165 lBS and ive been stuck there since LOL I weighed myself today out of wonder, ** BAD ME ** maybe I will lose it between now and Wed, as im programme on her to lose 1B a week but can't see it being a whole 1LB this week.

Now Ive hit the slow down period, is it better if I move to weighing in every TWO WEEKS ??

    That's probably a good idea. Also I read a thread on here that said: 1) a period of no change on the scale is one of the stages of weight loss and 2) you must not totally rely on the scales but rather you should take measurements e.g waist, hips thighs etc as sometimes your weight will not decrease but your measurements may. I'll try and find the thread and post it on here for you to read.

    Just know that this is a stage you have to go through and do not give up. Have a great Sunday :glasses:

    What Wednesday are you talking about when you weighed yourself? Are you talking about the Wednesday just gone?

    If so, it is only a few days and how do you know you haven't been losing ounces since then that will add up to 1lb this coming Wednesday?

    Give yourself a chance because if you had lost 1lb since Wednesday, you would most likely be on course for losing 2lb by this coming Wednesday and that would be more than you stated you wanted to lose each week, so you would be off course.
