You are right, I don't think I have a whole lot to lose but I really hope my body isn't slowing down already -- I've only just begun! I do hope to see it pick up again soon rather than remain stagnant for such lengths of time. I better get to purchasing that food scale... :neutral_face:

I think this may be the case for me as well. I was always amazed by people who say they have lost 10" total in two weeks or something to that effect...I just don't understand how that would be possible, because it is difficult for me to lose an inch in total so quickly. That is a good point. We should be looking at other…

According to this, I have been losing at the rate I should be. But initially, I had started off losing 1lb a week, I suppose now it is slowing down to "balance" out and make up for the quicker losses I was making when I first started? Thank you! I do usually have a protein with carb. For instance, oatmeal and a fried egg…

Thank You! I guess I need a bit of encouragement but it is just so discouraging to see the numbers remain stagnant. I haven't really been cheating aside from having one day out of the week where I go over my calories by 200-300 (purposely). I don't think I have been drinking enough water, but I find it difficult to do so.…

Thank you for that excellent analogy xipher1, it really does help when you look at it this way! To those of you who have lost numerous lbs and have not gone down any sizes, have you been exercising as well? I do understand that someone who claims to have lost 10 inches in 2 weeks after losing only 2lbs, may actually mean…

Thank you to those who have responded so far. I suppose I expected to see at least some inches by now since I have read other accounts where people have claimed to have lost 2lbs in weeks and supposedly also lost almost "10 inches" off of their body -- this actually sounds impossible and I probably shouldn't compare to…

I just checked over the parameters and my age was entered incorrectly! It turns out MyFitnessPal was calculating my readings based upon believing that I'm an elderly centenarian...ooops! lol. I changed my age and now it is giving me a more reasonable result.Thank you! That was a silly mistake on my part, but I do still…

Thanks everyone! Maybe I should pay less attention to that but seeing the number be slightly above your current weight after doing all that hard work, still made me feel discouraged. I just (re)started using MyFitness Pal so I haven't lost anything yet this year, I don't recall this happening when I used this it in the…
