    You will not lose weight every single day, or every week maybe. It goes up/down....you need to focus on the overall long-term trend.

    3 days really is not a lot for a plateau and you should expect that sometimes your weight will go up, not down. But … that said, you can check that your scales aren’t trying to give false consistency. Weigh yourself then grab something heavy, weigh again holding the heavy weight then get off and put it down and weigh just yourself again. Some scales will revert to a recent reading which is super annoying.

    You’ve been a member for a month. Merciful heavens, cut yourself some slack!

    Don’t have unrealistic expectations of losing weight every. single. day.

    All kinds of stuff affects your weight. Periods, airline or long vehicle trips, salt, carbs, even exercise can cause temporary weight gain as your canny body retains weight to heal soreness.

    In a few months, you will laugh at the thought of a “three day plateau”. You’re going to experience gain, loss, lengthy plateaus as your body gets the jist of the changes you’re making.

    It’s ok! As long as the overall trend is down, that’s all that matters.

    This thread helped me a bunch when I felt I had stalled. I have ready every single one of the posts here- often saving them, so I’d have something to read during the frustrating times.
