Getting discouraged.

Change something. Either in your diet or workout. Add extra water in your diet and workout 15 minutes longer. But 2.5 pounds is normal for 1 week. Good Job!

Another way to look at it is your skin will catch up better if you lose slowly. I am terrified of having pastic surgery (although I probably will need it!) and praying that I lose slowly enough for my skin to keep up! I think the throwing your scale out is a good idea, too. I'm so sick of people asking me how much weight I've lost so far. It's really about feeling healthy again, isn't it?! Hope you have a happy day! Hugs, Katie

Good point Katie! I hadn't thought about the plastic surgery aspect of it. I too have stalled out. I lost a whopping 30 lbs or more (they didn't weigh me when I went in for surgery so I had to guess at my weight) in the first week...but haven't really lost anything since. I am nervous about it...thinking I am eating too much..I know my calories are high..sometimes over 1000 and my protein is high ..over 100g sometimes. But I am following the diet they gave me. I am scared...but the idea of loosing slow to ward off the plastic surgeon is one to perk me up a little. Thanks for that thought. Andrea
