With 11 pounds to lose, your maximum weekly loss can easily be masked by water weight fluctuations. Patience. If it persists, assess your food logging.6

You're not stuck, just a little impatient.... You won't always lose weight consistently as your weight can be affected by many factors. (especially water retention from exercise, stress, hormonal changes - time of the month etc)
Keep being consistent and logging accurately and reassess in a few weeks if you've actually plateaued5 -
Thanks so much for the inspiration and comments! Much appreciated.2

Last 10 are the slowest to come off, if you aren't seeing any changes after a couple of weeks then you should be reevaluating how you measure and log exercise. Also if you weigh once a week you might just hit a day where you have more water weight.3

Also, try to weigh on the same day, same time, same situation, using the same scales. That may also cut down on any fluctuations. My Day of Reckoning is Thursday, right after kicking everybody out of the house, before i get my coffee, egg whites, and flip open the laptop for work.
I guess routine is as big a part of dieting as is watching the calorie intake.0 -
Give it a little more time, then re-adjust.0

I’ve been the same weight for well over a week now too. It happens, sometimes you may be able to identify a reason (eg higher sodium days leading to water retention, for example), sometimes you can’t pinpoint a reason, but it’s still normal for it to happen.
For me, it was my brothers wedding last weekend, and probably too much wine. I’m not worried, I’ve been at a deficit every day since and I’m sure the scale will start moving again soon!
Patience is key!1 -
Any suggestions?
