Second weigh in, disappointed. : (

Dont get discouraged....if I were you..I would take measurements...cause most of the time..those will shift..but the scale wont.

Are you getting in all your water? I would also not have such a huge calorie leftover..100-200 is one thing..but not if you are having 500 left over.

Last but not least...just remember...the slower the weight comes off..the chances of you keeping it off. So keep on trucking!

I have been exercising harder lately (more treadmill time plus I'm now on day 5 of the 30 DS) and my scale has been up for the last couple of weeks. I have been at this for almost 4 months now and I have learned to accept that there are natural fluctuations that just happen sometimes even when you are doing everything right for weightloss. Eating, drinking, bathroom habits, sodium, and exercise can all play a part in those fluctuations. I watch my scale do a little roller coster ride and I just enjoy the ride and take note of the ways that various things affect my fluctuations - I don't log the 'up' days b/c it can get discouraging, I just wait for the ride to come back down and log when it goes lower again. When I was doing *food only* in the beginning, I saw a small loss almost every single day. But as soon as I started mixing in exercise and trying to up the intensity, that's when the fluctuations really began. That's why I took my measurements at the start of the 30 DS routine, so even if my scale is not doing what I want it to do, I can look at my new measurements at the end of the 30 days and see my results. I also eat my exercise calories (measured as accurately as possible with my HRM during workouts) - they are hard-earned and help me keep my energy up to continue this new higher level of activity.

You can't let those small differences get you down, they are a sign that your body is working hard and recovering. As long as you are doing your part and sticking to your calorie goals and exercising, you will see results, you just might have to hang on for the ride for a bit first.

Stay calm, you just started and you're body has to adjust to the changes. You will have weeks were you maintain even though it sure seems like you shouldn't be.

Also, a warning about the 30 Day Shred (I'm on Day 2 of Level 3), you are more than likely going to see a gain in your first week . Don't panic, this is mainly water weight because your muscles are trying to recover. It will pass and you will lose.

This is only your second week keep exceriseing and dieting it will catch up on the scale ( depending on how many calories your surpose to get you might need to modify it, you might be eating to many calories.

No. 4 - keep calm and carry on. You have to pace yourself for the marathon not the sprint. Every week will not be the same. Be patient with yourself.

Try not to be too disappointed - it's a familiar pattern for alot of people even those in Biggest Loser households. Each season week 2 is a "strange" week - 1lb loss, no loss or even small increase then the following week it all settles down

I'd advise go with the option Keep Calm & Carry On. You WILL see a loss next week.

Sounds like you are 3 weeks into the program? If so, I would say that you should keep calm and go another week or two before making any changes.

I have been working the MFP system since about March of this year. Some weeks I have lost as much as 5 lbs. Most weeks are in the 1 - 2 lbs range. However, I have had weeks every now and then where nothing changed.

One week with no change so early in the process is probably not an indicator of any problems.

I'm rowing the same boat. I do eat more of my calories than you do though.

Have you measured yourself yet? That's a great way to seeing your progress. Personally, scales make me mentally unbalanced so I try not to put too much stock in those readings.

Also, ask yourself how you feel. I know that I feel more energetic and stronger and that's what I really want to be deep down.
