10 pound slump

I keep seeing everyone's weight loss success and I can't get past the first 10lbs. Any pointers??

I'm in the same boat as you! i've been at the same weight for about 3 weeks now and it is so frustrating! I started the 30 day shred today and i definitely felt it! Just don't give up or lose motivation, switching up your routine a bit probably wouldn't hurt either (:

Since your diary is not public all I can do is throw a few things out.
- Are you drinking enough water?
- Are you getting enough protein? (Women about 20 grams 4 times a day or that is what my bariatric MD recommends)
- Are you logging accurately? This one got me at the beginning. 1 serving of cheese is 28 grams not the almost 60 grams I could shove into the measure cup.
- Are you counting oils, condiments and every BLT?
- Sodium? Are you sure you aren't losing more but just holding onto water weight?

If all else fails try changing something in your diet for a month. Maybe cut carbs in half and up protein and fat. That worked for me.

This was a very helpful reply, for me also! Thank you. How accurate are the carb/protein/fat needs that MFP auto calculates?
