I can't seem to lose any more weight. I am on day 50 and i've only lost 7lbs. I cant seem to lose any more. This is very discouraging.

That's a pound a week. That's a great rate of loss! And is what's recommended for most people.0

That's awesome, jealous! Way to go!0

I feel like it's taking me so long to get out of the 160's.0

It doesn't come on over night...and it doesn't come off over night either. Slow & steady is the best way to lose. Don't get discouraged. You're doing good!0

Unfortunately that's how weight loss is, it can feel like it's taking ages, but it's better to go slow than to go too fast and hurt yourself. What's your height & weight? Unless you've got a lot of weight to lose, 1lb/week is the recommended rate.0

I'm 5'1 at 163lbs, started at 1690

According to your profile pic you started back in September, which is way more than 50 days. And you've lost way more than 7lbs too. I'm not understanding the question.0

That's actually a great amount of weight for that time period. Please don't feel so discouraged0

Here is what I've learned in my journey (which regardless of what MFP says has been a roller coaster for quite a while).......I see what's on the scale, but I focus more on how I feel and how my clothes fit. I only weight myself every 4-6 weeks. You're doing GREAT!!!! Don't get discouraged!0 -
Assuming no serious health issues, if you religiously keep track of the calories you consume ensuring the total is <= your daily calorie target+exercise (making sure you subsequently exercise more and/or eat less to "buy back" any deficit) you must lose weight over time. If you remain stuck....do a custom goal, reducing your daily calorie intake goal by 1%-5%. As everybody says, it's a long process which takes dedication and self-control. And even if you've been "a good girl", any given week can see a moderate increase in weight. If you lost 3 pounds on week one, 2 pounds week two, and then 0.4 pounds every week since, you're still on track. I have to do a lot of estimating of calories and exercise -- adjusting your daily calorie goal may take some of these errors into account. And note...packaged products typically contain up to 10% more than what's listed to ensure the consumer doesn't get less than what's promised...which could be significant if you eat a lot of packaged foods. (I also use the Wii Fit Pro (for the old Nintento) which can take my weight to the nearest tenth of a pound which I think is more accurate than my scale, and it's more "fun" to see my weight changing daily.)0
