Sigh. I'm feeling so bummed out. I have so much weight to lose and I did things right this week. I tracked everything, was HONEST about it and I've only lost 1 lousy pound. 8(

    This is going to take time...
    I can't see your diary but one pound a week is what most people on this site shoot for (At least my MPF friends.)
    It WILL come off in time.

    That is a healthy pace to lose weight and keep it off. You should not be upset at all! Do not give up, you are on the right track. I lb down is better than 1 lb up isn't it?:smile:

    If you are doing the lower carb just stick with it, It takes a week to train your body to adjust to in maybe even two weeks when your body changes over you will start losing fast. I try to stay as low carb as I can because I was borderline diabetic, but I still try to stay away from brown rice whole wheat pastas when I get stuck in my weight loss then after I start losing again I will indulge myself sometimes with brown rice and whole wheat pastas. Buy the third week for sure you will see your weight start melting off. Hang in there.

    1 pound a week is good. No worries.

    You will be fine...hey, at least the scale moved! My 1st week it said I didn't loose anything. It might make you feel better to purchase a scale, get on naked in am before food or water and see what it says......
