This is what a Whoosh! looks like. Nearly a month of almost no change, then down 4 pounds in less than a week. Didn't really change anything, this is just the way my body works and I've come to expect it. Not that I "like" it, but it is what it is and the trend is going the right direction. (This is from the iPhone app Happy Scales.)

    That's amazing, and yet another example that weight loss is not linear :) I like to remind myself of this daily!

    Congrats on your whoosh!

    I am happy to see your post. I am waiting for my whoosh! I have a ton of weight to lose, I'm eating at a large deficit (doctor and RD supervised), weighing everything to the gram (yes, I have watched the video), exercising...and I have not lost an ounce in 2 weeks. I should be losing about 2.5 pounds a week. I know--weight loss is not linear. I know--be patient, maintain the course, keep going...

    I'm blaming it on the fact that I started super-beginner strength training. If there is one thing that I have read consistently, it is that many say who have lost a lot of weight say they wish they started lifting sooner. So I have started with puny, girly, not-pink-but-close weights, enough to make my out of shape self pretty sore. Hoping for a tsunami-like whoosh in my future...

    Haha, that's a lovely example of a whoosh!

    Here's my month, which is an example of how weight loss is not linear, and how apps like Happy Scale help you see the downward trend:

    That's a great example of fluctuations!

    @alohajis that's great that you're starting strength training right off the bat. I did too and have not regretted it one bit. Thrilled with my progress over 17 months.

    Congrats.

    I hate the weeks when I don't lose anything, but love it when I know I'm about to whoosh...and then I do!

    God bless the whoosh. :)
