    1. Most people have a big loss their first week, then it levels off. That second week, it is quite common not to lose anything. That is normal.

    2. Weight loss will not be consistent in general. One week you may lose two pounds, then you may stay the same weight for a week or two. It happens. Weight loss is not linear.

    3. Meals loaded with sodium (like your frozen Weight Watchers meals) will make you retain water and show up on the scale. If I go out to eat at a restaurant and eat a high sodium meal, my weight will generally be up 2 pounds or so for 1-2 days. Again, that is normal. So you may have lost another pound and the sodium is hiding that loss (or you may not have lost at all this week, see #1).

    Keep on exercising and counting calories. It is working and will continue to work if you keep at it!

    Weight loss is not linear.. you won't lose every week! It sucks but it's just the way it is.

    Muscles retaining water, too much sodium in your diet (those frozen/canned WW meals are brutal on the sodium) will cause water weight, not getting enough water, etc etc. Hormones will also either cause you to lose, gain or stay the same.

    Don't worry about not losing one week.. or two weeks. Keep going and switch up your workouts from time to time andyou will get there. Look at the losses over the long term instead of week by week

    I try to avoid those pre-frozen meals too much sodium. They are handy in a pinch but fresh veggies and fruit have almost no calories! I also find if I don't eat enough calories I don't lose weight and if I'm not drinking enough water. My weight fluctuates even from hour to hour...weigh in only once a week if possible--it will be less aggrevating for you.
