Hi All!
I have a tendency to do well for a week - have great results and then stop! Not this time! I have to do this to look good and feel good again! However, the first week the weight seems to come off fast and the second week, I seem to plateau...any suggestions on how to get through this and not lose motivation?? I have motivation when I see the scale going down and I don't want to lose the energy. Suggestions and friends would be awesome! I am turning 30 in January and I want to be a sexy mama!!! :happy:

    I'm 4 weeks in to my MFP journey and I had the same thing happen - very successful first week and nothing at all in the second. But then things kicked off again, and I've just had my fourth week weigh in - 4kgs (9lbs) in 4 weeks. VERY HAPPY!! :smile:

    Just keep at it and don't get discouraged. Remember, this is not going to be like all the other diets - this is a real lifestyle change. Even if it doesn't happen all in a rush, it will happen over time. There are people on here who are months and years into their journey & they've realised there's no quick fix.

    I'm trying really hard to learn from them as much as I can - inspiration abounds, here! :drinker:

    Hi - I am on MFP for a little more than 50 days now and I can truly understand what u r saying but trust me - if you don't let this non movement bring you down , you'll be amazed at your results after a little while. Though I am the slowest loser here (have just lost 3.2 kgs) so far but I am happy coz i am not killing myself for it. I workout 4-5 days a week and rest the other 3-2 days.

    I haven't stopped eating pizza's once a while with my husband - do enjoy a piece of chocolate almost everyday.
    Just like Bex said - its not a diet or a weightloss program, this is a lifestyle change and the slower it will come, the longer it will stay.

    Happy to be a friend if u wish to add.

    Cheers

    Change up your exercise to include a little more cardio or take a spin class or something different! You signed up for this because you wanted to...so keep to it! You CAN do this, we all can...so go do it!
    Really...log off and go!
