    Don't give up. I've been there my whole life. Not seeing the results on the scale, giving up, gaining more back. Please don't give up! Push through it! You can do this!

    Give it more than a few weeks before you start to worry. You may have lost a lot of water weight your first week. Maybe it was from your cycle. Give it a few months of consistent and real effort and you will see changes.

    My weight can go up and down by 2-4 pounds in a week. What's important is you see the overall trend.

    Also 2 lbs a week over the long run may become difficult. Aim as high as you want within reason, but be prepared that the scale will not always reflect it.

    Take your body measurements also. Your size may decrease before your weight.

    You will have to make some sacrifice somewhere. Either limit your portion of sweets so it fits into your calories, or if you cannot resist, maybe go cold turkey for a week to break the habit of eating junk food and re introduce when you have better control on your impulses/habits?

    I found that substituting is a great way to deal with sweet tooth. Cherios and maybe 1 piece of chocolate. I also make green smoothies which I find pretty sweet. Certain veggies and fruit are sweet. You could grab some carrots or an apple instead of junk food. Try cutting out the preservatives because that is what is addictive. Good luck!

    Some weeks are like that, our weight does fluctuate a lot on a daily basis as it is - you could find if you weighed in tomorrow that you have lost....
    Keep up the great work, you will get results, it just doesn't happen overnight.
