It is unlikely that you will lose weight consistently (i.e., weight loss is not linear)

Bumping for newbies!

I can confirm this pattern of weight loss on a consistent program; the graph is all over the place but the trend is down.

This is a great post to reference when people make threads saying they "haven't lost" in a week or two

I found the first 6-8 weeks I lost consistently....2 or 3lbs weekly after the first massive 8lbs on week one. This lulled me into a false sense of security because it does get harder...and less room for error as the lbs drop. Now just a couple of bad days and I can gain 6lbs which takes weeks to come off. I can go a whole month only dropping 2lbs. Its disheartening but u just need to stick at it.

That is true... but the title does say "unlikely" and not "impossible".

Some people are fortunate enough to lose consistently, but many don't so this is a good reminder for those folks not to give up and think it's not working if they see a bit of a stall.

(And congrats on your fabulous loss!
