I am having a hard time with my weight loss. To date, I have lost no weight but managed to gain 3 pounds in 3 days. I am on my third week of tracking my food and exercising regularly. I am showing zero progress.

    Well, what does your diet look like?
    And what does your fitness schedule look like?

    Are you eating at a deficit?
    Are you eating a lot of processed foods?
    Are you eating a lot of sodium rich foods?

    1 pint of water = 1 lb....

    Might help in getting some advice to share your diary. Maybe other people can see something your not seeing.

    Don't fret. As hard as that my sound. I am told that this could be that you are changing "fat" to muscle. Keep on track. I am in my fourth week and did well the first two weeks, but have since gained back 4 pounds. Remember, it took years to put this weight on and so it will take time to take it off. Keep your head up.

    Well our weight does fluctuate a lot. You should only weigh yourself once a week at the same time of the day. I suggest Fridays cause that is after all the hard work we've done all week. Also, did you change your eating habits? Are you working out?

    Gaining 3lbs in 3 days is almost certainly water weight gain. Did you overindulge this weekend?

    Drink plenty of water. Watch your sodium. Cut out as much processed food as you possibly can - I know sometimes this can be difficult. But, do the best you can. Eat fruits and veggies.
