in Health and Weight Loss
Just weighed in and feeling a tad upset. I have really enjoyed tracking what I eat, almost to the point of obsession! Was expecting at least 2lbs and cannot believe that all my determination has resulted in just 1. It is not my first week of dieting, I have actually lost 10lb in a month which is good, but only had a 1lb loss last week also. Any tips would be gratefully recieved.

    Sounds like you hit a plateau. Try an extra 10 minutes of exercise a day for the next week, maybe? I lost 40 pounds years ago and I hit my "plateau" after about 15 pounds. Took another 2 weeks for me to start losing again. My body was telling me "woah, slow down"!

    Your body is adjusting to everything that is going on.
    I always say a loss is a loss no matter what.
    Keep going your doing great.

    When you first start losing you lose fast. Lots of water and recently-accumulated fat. Then things slow down and taper to a healthy weight loss and while it can be a hard psychological transition, keep in mind that time and time again studies have proven that the slow steady loss is the kind that you maintain in the long run :flowerforyou:
