How to pick yourself up from an unproductive weight loss wee

Crystel22

How do you pick yourself back up when you have lost nothing in a week? You have done the exercise, you haven't gone over your calories and you still have a goose egg to add.

Any suggestions?

Take you measurements, you will have probley lost inces from all the exercise you have done and gained muscle

How's your Sodium intake? Have you drank 8+ glasses water per day? Are you on your period? Weight lost takes time...maybe relook over your last weeks meal intake and see what you can change. best wishes xo

I had the same thing! I even upped my workouts and tried upping my cals from 1200 to 1350 to see if I was too low! So for the second week in a row, I lost nothing! And I worked hard! I feel you!

(I did take my measurements, and I did lose an inch on my waist, but I still think in 2 weeks, I should have lost something!)

I am due for my period, I am wondering if that accounts for something?

I was just about to say the same thing. You have probably plateaued out for a bit. If you have done quite a bit of gym work then you have probably exchanged fat for muscle (which is good).

So long as your times at the gym are getting better (treadmill/bike or whatever you do) then take these as positives when the weight loss is zero.

Keep recording the calories accurately and doing the exercise - you will definitely loose weight if you carry on.

Thanks for all your input. I have not done any measurements through the whole thing, so I won't know if I have lost inches. I am hoping for a better week next week.

I can not seem to drink 8 glasses of water in a day. If I stay home and think about it, I can come close, but usually 4 or 5 glasses.

What are good exercises that you all do?
