Disappointed and ready to give up :(

I would stick to maybe only weighing yourself once a week. Otherwise, weighing yourself and not seeing the results you may have hoped for will only frustrate you. It's only been 3 days... give it time.

Your sodium intake is just as important as anything else. So make sure you're drinking plenty of water and watching your sodium. Try taking Dandelion Root. It's an all natural herbal supplement that helps with water retention. I take it during TOM. You still will need to make sure you're getting plenty of water.

Don't give up!!!! Sodium intake level has a lot to do with how you feel and weigh. I was doing so good and staying right on track. I had lost 11 lbs since Feb 21. Then one weekend I had three cheat days in a row eating breads/chips/take out and I gained 4 lbs on the fourth day even though I never really went way over my calories that I was allowed. Not possible!!!! Since it takes 3500 calories to equal gaining 1 lb. It was all sodium related. So keep eating right and watch it come off!

I know it is depressing when you feel like you are doing the right thing and not seeing the results you expect. As others have said it can take time to see those results on the scale. Since you are early in to your weightloss program take the chance now to get your measurements. Not only your inches but also your blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Then as you watch what you eat and make healthier choices and continue exercising you can see more of those NSV (non-scale victories) too. I am as proud of those victories over the months as I have been with my weight loss. Don't give up, that certainly won't help you get to your goal. Keep at it and best of luck!!!

I looked at your diary and second the "track your sodium" comment. Those packaged meals are notoriously high in sodium. Also I would invest in a heart rate monitor for exercise, so that you don't inadvertently overestimate your exercise calories. MFP notoriously estimates MUCH higher than my actual burn....I walked 3.7 miles yesterday over a 72 minute period of time, and only burned 168 calories per my HRM! I noticed that you were walking faster than I was, but that your burn was pretty high. It might be accurate, but a HRM (with chest strap, where you input your height, age, weight, etc.) will give you a much more accurate picture of your true burn rate.

Dont give up - weigh once a week at the same time of day, wearing the same clothes. DO NOT STOP - this is far far better than weight watchers, and a much more long term way of dealing with weight issues and maintaining a healthy one. Weight watchers want you to have a quick loss you start with so you keep going and pay them lots of money, they are running a business for profit, they dont want you to lose weight slowly and forever otherwise people wouldnt need to go and they would have no customers.

This is a life changing decision and way of eating - weight watchers is a quicker fix but if it was so good at weight watchers why are you here?? - Hope you get my point, you need to change for life weight watchers wont do that redeucating yourself into eating properly and not obsessing over it will.

Good luck my friend

Definitely do not give up! You deserve to be healthy and feel great. Make sure you eat a lot of fruits and veggies.

Don't give up so soon! Weight loss is a long and painful journey (really, it's a life long struggle- unfortunately that's just the facts) Maybe you should stay away from the scale for a little bit. That has helped me. Let your clothes do the talking when you start to feel more comfortable in them. Remember, the scale is just giving you a number. The real results are in how you look and feel when you look in the mirror. Also, I have been in your shoes where I have given up after a week or so, and then shortly after that when I went to try again, I had 50 pounds to lose instead of 30.
I know it's not fair, and remember your ability to lose weight diminishes as you get older- it just keeps getting harder. I've gotten to the point where I have to diet 7 days a week AND exercise at least 4 hours a week to lose weight. If I go over my calories just 1 day during the week, I will stay the same instead of losing any weight for that whole week. But I allow those occasions because they are a part of life, and I tell myself it's OK, and then get back to business. AND STAY OFF THE SCALE!!!

I don't know if you use Pinterest at all, but I have found a wealth of information under the fitness category that ranges from helpful, to inspiring quotes, to getting neat work-out tips. I've also tried 2 new healthy recipes from food section in the last week, and both are phenomenal. I hope you will find some inspiration from the replies you've received and keep at it. Add people as friends- we're all here for the same reason, so the support you will find through this site is very valuable. Good luck!!

dont give up,I agree about the water,are you getting enough? Most people dont know water is a natural dieretic its tru the more you drink the less you will retain.Hang in there your weight will start going down.

Day three is not long enough to see any results. Small fluctuations in weight are normal and you shouldn't let the scale control your emotions like that. Give it time.

I know what you mean when you say you had a big number in your first week doing weight watchers. I had the same frustration on here a couple weeks ago. And what I realized was that 1) I am a couple years older so I lose weight differently and then 2) although I gained a couple my first few days by the end of my 1st week I had lost 4 pounds!!

So don't lose hope, give it at least another week and I know you'll see some encouraging results! Wait it out like I did and you won't regret it and will feel great!!
