Have you measured yourself? You may want to do that. Scales are nasty lying monsters, and if you measure you’ll have another way to check up on your progress.

Even if you weight evey day, only count it once a week. Over time you’ll see that your weight fluctuates a lot over the week, but after 7 days lost weight tends to really show.

At least, that’s what I tell myself…

Ooooh no…no clothes here. I wake up, empty stomach of course, pee, strip, and sneak up on the scales. I get on and off at least half a dozen times to make sure I get the “right” weight. I ain’t adding NOTHIN’ that doesn’t have to show up on that number…sick, isnt’ it.

Don’t give up. It’s frustrating, but we are here to “listen” to you vent. It could be any number of thinks, as simple as water or as silly as your clothes were heavier this week. Just relax and say, at least it’s only a pound. :friends: :hug:

As the other gals have said, don’t give up. Now’s the time to call on every ounce of determination you have and to be more resolved than ever to keep going! You can do it! Your weight can fluctuate a pound from on day to another, so don’t be too disappointed, and don’t be surprised if you see a big drop in a day or two. Good luck…and stick with it! :good:

Could be the wine..
But then, here’s my latest theory:
I lost almost 4 pounds really easily, while I spent a week sort of “cheating” (trying to be good, but goofing up a few times). The next week I was REALLY good..but at the weigh in hadn’t lost a pound. My theory is that the uh, “slight cheating” of that previous week are what affected my weigh in a week later. Sort of like when you exercise too hard and it doesn’t feel sore right away, it takes a day or two. It’s like a delayed reaction.
This is just my theory…

Could it be the wine {slinking away now}? Am I going to have to teetotal for a while?

Don’t give up. It’ll come off. Just keep on, keeping on.
I’ve had those weeks and they get to me too. But next week maybe it’ll be two!
