On March 28th I posted that I had lost 12 pounds. I had been losing slowly but consistently. I haven't lost a single pound since then! No it's not that TOM and I have not put on muscle weight in two weeks. I have logged everything!!! My logs show a calorie deficit of 6820 last week and 2168 for this week so far. Yes, I weigh at the same time each morning. I am eating my recommended amount of calories or very close to them, even went over just a few one day. I am SO frustrated right now!

    I know how you feel...I stayed at 160 from March 6th until today I finally hit 159..over 4 weeks later!!! Just be patient and keep doing what you're doing...it will come off. Remember, slow & steady wins the race.:flowerforyou:

    Hang in there....don't give up. Your body gets used to something and gets lazy so sometimes you just need to change up your routine.

    sounds like you have hit a plateau...happens to all of us. May be time to change up your workout routine to give it some variety. I did that and have dropped an extra 5 pounds with it.

    Good luck

    I am glad that someone else is going through the same thing! I've been stuck at 29 pounds lost for 2 weeks. The scale won't budge even though I'm going crazy with th exercise, eating, and it's not that TOM! I really want to breach that 30 pound mark but it's taking forever. It's right now that I want to give up but I have to remember slow and steady, slow and steady...!!

    Thanks everyone...but it's so hard to look at the numbers and KNOW that I should have lost two pounds but to see my weight unchanged.

    I am in a hold pattern as well right now. Just keep on doing what you are doing.
