Stopped losing weight!!!

how close are you to your goal weight? What are your current stats? The leaner you are, the slower you should be losing weight:


What has been your average loss over the last 4 to 6 weeks? a couple of weeks isn't long enough to really evaluate progress. As mentioned above, have you adjusted your calories intake to accommodate your smaller self? As you lose weight, your BMR goes down since there is less mass to you and thus less that your body has to carry around for daily living i.e. smaller you means less calories burned to keep smaller you alive.

The less you have to lose and the slower the rate, the more water weight fluctuations are going skew your scale results, and water weight can be as bad as 5 lbs or more and last for 3 weeks or more. Water weight gain can be caused by all sorts of things - workouts, especially new ones, leading to water gain for muscles to repair themselves, changes in dietary patterns, increased sodium intake, heat and humidity, etc. And then there are factors such as bowel regularity being off leading to more food and waste being in your system, etc. This is why the 4-6 week trend is needed instead of a week to week; the trend will even out the water weight discrepancies.

I know that for some people, water weight coupled with the natural slow down of weight loss as they get leaner leads to a whoosh/no loss cycle: they'll stay consistent with their diet over a 6 week period, but may go 3 weeks or more with the scale remaining the same, then suddenly they'll have a whoosh loss of 4 or 5 lbs. The fact was that fat loss was occurring the whole time, but water weight was masking it, so when the water weight lets go, you see the actual weight you are.
