Scale broke??

mtraised74

I am starting week 8 of keto. The first 4 weeks I lost 19 lbs. Weeks 5-7 I have not lost anything. I have been within a couple ounces the last 3 weeks. I haven’t changef anything from the 1st 4 weeks, no cheats at all.

Any thoughts?

I haven’t lost any scale weight in well over 2 years.
My scale works fine. If you’re sure you haven’t changed anything and you’re not over eating or eating when not hungry, you’re probably fine. Stick with it.

You are better off trying on the same tight clothing each week. That will show your progress. If you add a pound of lean mass and lose a pound of fat the scale can only show you that it is at zero movement.

My stance on home scales:

I also lost a lot my first 3 weeks (water weight), then it was really slow for a few weeks (like maybe .5 pound a week). I remember be disappointed. After that, it ended up being 1-2 pounds a week. I’d give it a few more weeks before getting worried. Also... if you’re working out, you could be gaining muscle.

I can stall with any diet or weight loss program. I am in one now but I have two options. I can wait it out or I can tweak something. I am impatient so I cut back a little on fats and increased exercise a little. If I stay with what I have been doing it usually starts back on its own though.
