I need help loosing weight..

kathy20052019

I started to try and loose weight about 6 weeks ago. I weigh 110, originally I weighed 117 lbs, and I’ve been dieting and exercising since the 6 weeks and loosing weight. But since last week I’ve noticed that I’m not loosing anymore weight, my goal is 105, am I doing something wrong? Is there any way that can help me loose more weight to reach my goal?

At a low weight the details of calorie intake and calories burned makes a lot of difference. How accurately do you weigh and log your food intake? The same applies on the calorie burn side of things. As you lose weight, you burn less calories doing many of the same things since you are moving less mass.

And a week is a short period of time. Sodium - water retention - TOM cycle for ladies, etc all add up to weight loss rarely being linear. It's not uncommon for people to stall and then in a short period of time drop a few pounds quickly, when they really haven't change anything in regards to diet or exercise.

And if the trend continues, you might have found your maintenance calorie goal. But since you want to lose a little more, simply eat a little less and/or move a little more until your weight starts to drop again.


You already dropped that 7 pounds, so you are doing things right. Just don't stress and get impatient. Lots of things impact weight loss and gain, and sometimes figuring it out takes a little while.

You dropped 7 lbs in 6 weeks. You're not doing anything wrong. Most of us aim for about 1 lb/week ... give it another 5 weeks.

Your doing great. It's not linear. Rock on.

Spelling may be a different matter...

Hmm seems like your weight is at a good number already... how tall are you and age?
