Feeling discouraged - and despondent

I have been trying to lose weight for 3 weeks now.

The past 2 weeks - I have lost 1.4 kgs each week.

This week - nothing.

I'm on pills for endometriosis - and have had some breakthrough bleeding.

Could I be retaining water? or have I just lost nothing? Most people say that as soon as the bleeding starts they see a drop.

I am easily discouraged - a whole week of hard work could really amount to nothing lost?

    One week with nothing doesn't matter. Weightloss takes time as is a long term thing. Women will fluctuate more with menstruation. Just keep plugging away.

    Weight loss isn't linear. Keep going.

    You have lost around 6lbs in 3 weeks. That is pretty much the limit for what would be healthy weight loss over that time. There is nothing to get upset about.
