    Honey, 3 pounds could be simply water weight! Or ( assuming you are a woman by the Mrs. before your name) it could be the monthly hormone rush us woman get.
    Do NOT get discouraged, please! I get stuck for a week or so and lose nothing. Then I go down a pound . Then it sticks, then down. I think if you keep it up, for WAY more than a week, make this a lifetime and lifestyle change, then you WILL see the results. It is simple math! Those 3 pounds PLUS will go! I promise!
    Good luck on your journey!

    It is more than likely water weight. Up your water intake and the scale will probably move next time you get on it. It's a gradual process and sometimes our body goes into shock when we first start fueling it with the right things. Hang in there. :-)
