    no matter what size you are, you are going to have fluctuations, and there are going to be times that you don't lose AS much. I have been on this road for 5 months now, but only really losing for the last 2 months (13.8 pounds in 2 months).

    I lost 4.8 pounds the first week of my lower carb journey
    the last month my numbers have looked like this:
    week 1: -0.4
    week 2: -1.4
    week 3:-0.6
    week 4:-0.2
    week 5:-1.8

    in there, there have been a few times when I had some water weight gains, but they always drop off and take a little more with it.

    If it were easy, everybody would be thin! It's just a number. How do you feel? You pumped for next week??? Rock on.

    Yeah, don't get frustrated if you begin to "only" lose 2 lbs a week or so. That's actually awesome, and if I could make my body do it, I would!

    Most of us lose about a half a pound to a pound a week. 4 lbs is great, and probably still represents some water weight.

    Don't get discouraged!

    Add me to the "Over two weeks with no loss or inches loss at all" category. I'm jealous of your four pounds, boy!

    When I read the title I HAD to read.
    I know you are frustrated...but like many have said, just keep your nutrition healthy and moving and you will see results.

    Sorry I could not be of better help. :flowerforyou:

    Good job! Remind yourself, "The scale is not my report card. My body is changing in ways the scale doesn't reflect. All I have direct control over are the inputs to the equation-- my eating and activity. I reward myself for putting in the correct inputs. The outputs will come in time. Lots of time."

    I was so discouraged a few days ago...for no reason at all, my weight was going UP instead of down, from 6 lost to 4 lost. And I was being so good! LOL.

    Anyway, this morning I was down again and lost even more, down 8 pounds total by now. This despite being put on a beta blocker last Thursday, which is supposed to make weight loss harder. Why did I lose more weight? I haven't a clue but it must be water weight playing head games with me.

    I think that for some of us weight loss is a roller coaster no matter what we do, and this might be especially true for those of us close to 300 pounds or more. I'd say just grit your teeth and hang in there. It has got to come off at some point (right? I think?).

    4 pounds would be an awesome loss in a week to me. I was amazed when I lost 2, but then the next day it was back again. I think my scale was teasing me.

    I agree with many. A scale can tell you one thing, your body will tell you another. Do you feel signs of improved mood, increased energy? Watch for the signals that your body is loving your lifestyle. The scale will reflect it later. :D Keep up the great work!!
