Getting discouraged...

Seems to me like you are doing just fine. 11 pounds is a huge loss in so short a time. Actually unless you are very obese it might be too much too fast. Initial water wight losses can be big so don't be surprised to find that your loss slows down quite a lot over the next months. Don't let that stop you in your tracks. Any forward progress is better than no forward progress and vastly better than going backwards.

Pay attention to more than just the number on the scale. How do your clothes fit. Track measurements. How do you feel physically? Take progress pics. There are so many little changes that don't show up as numbers on a scale. The journey is long and a magic number is not going to result in happiness there is more to being happy with your body than that. You need to think about more than just the scale.

I know what you mean about "scale check", I was stuck on that too. And let me tell you, when I hit a plateau for two and a half weeks and was doing everything right, it really messed with my mind. "BUT, I STAYED ON TRACK", I did how every tweet a few things, and the pounds started falling off again. If and when I hit another plateau, I will readjust again. I have 120 lbs. to lose, I have loss 16 lbs. so far, since June 27,2016. Good luck on your journey, and "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, AND NEVER GIVE UP". Also , when you hit a plateau, check other things, meaning measurements, right amounts of exercise, tracking everything you eat, etc. If you do the math correctly, sooner or later "THAT SCALE" will have to start to move again. Also make sure you don't go below 1255 calories per day, and if you do, exercise the other calories off. Add 8 oz. of grapefruit juice to each meal, and make sure you are eating enough protein too, and be very mindful of your carb count, other than the grapefruit juice. Good luck, God Bless, and hang in there, "YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS JOURNEY".

Recognize and accept that you will not see a loss every time you weigh in.
That's ok, though.

Something that works for me is breaking up the big goal into much smaller goals.
I want to lose 20 more pounds...but I'm not looking at 20 pounds...that'll be a while.
I am, however, looking at what I'm going to choose to do after work today and what I'm going to eat for supper.

Maybe a visual would help. get 2 jars and either marbles or stones or pennies or something like that. Jar 1 is stay the same or lose the other is for gain. Couple of things are going on. You have a visual to see you have more Jar 1 days and by dropping the coin in Jar 2 you should also drop the negative feelings with it.

You need to adjust your mindset to reality or you will be discouraged for the rest of your life. It is not possible to lose each and every day. Weight loss doesn't work like that. Your body doesn't work like that. Fluctuations are normal. If you were to lose 1 pound per week, which can be fairly aggressive depending on how much you have to lose, and the loss were perfectly even every day --which is is NOT--it still is not possible for many scales to register 1/7 of that every day. For example, my scale registers 0.2 pounds at a time, that's 1/5 of a pound. So I were to lose 1/7 of a pound every day, I would see a loss on the scale only about every other day. Again, all of this is fiction because that's how the body works. For example, I might go 2-3 weeks with no loss on the scale even though I can SEE it on my body, then all of a sudden I register a few pounds lost in a couple of days.

Please read the sticky posts at the top of the forum, and other threads on here to learn how to develop a realistic understanding of this process. You will be much happier.

I use an app called Libra (for Android, I think a similar iOS app is HappyScales, I'm pretty sure there's a website you can use called Trendweights) and weigh every day in the morning in as close to the same circumstances as I can. Roughly the same time, right when I wake up, before I drink, after I use the restroom, and then plug the new weight into MFP and Libra.

I'm a data nerd and I love charts, and Libra basically draws a trend line based on my data points. I used to get kind of bummed about the irregularity of my daily weigh ins, I knew weight loss wasn't linear but I fluctuate a LOT. Up half a lb, down a lb, back up 0.2 lbs, back up 0.6 lbs, then suddenly a 1.5 lb drop, etc. It was a little bit maddening.

I find it much easier to be able to look at the trendline and realize, yeah I went up a lb today but my TREND is still down, I'm still roughly at my 2 lbs a week rate, everything is fine, why am I freaking out about some water weight?

If you're the same way, I'd recommend trying one of these apps and see if it helps you remember to see the forest of weight loss, through the trees of daily weigh ins. Plus it helps me personally to view my daily weigh ins more as a data point for my chart and not something to obsess about/worry about (at least until that trend line flattens out or tilts back up)

I'd second the advice of using a trend graph of some sort (I use weightgrapher) to record your weight daily. While you may not lose daily, and may at times gain due to numerous reasons not actually related to fat, seeing a downward trend line can be very motivating.
