Has anyone ever had this happen? Where u don't lose weight for 2-3 weeks and then one day u step on the scale and u lost 5 pounds? This happens to me a lot. Does anyone know why? Thank you!

    My weight loss was mostly in a series of steps rather than a linear progression.

    Here's an interesting theory on the subject....

    It's certainly happened. I used to maintain weight all week and then end up down 2-3 lbs on Friday mornings. If you're weighing in only once/week, then you may be missing the daily fluctuations up and down and seeing your weight on an up day. Our weight bounces around all the time due to many factors, including salt intake, sleep patterns, stress, carbohydrate content, etc. Keep up the intensity and consistency and watch your progress over the last ~4 weeks. That'll show you your progress much better.
