plateu (sp?) ??!!

I dont know. In the past week and a half, I've lost 1 pound. I'm like, really upset about this. I was loosing alot more in a week. Sometimes 10, 12 pounds in a week. And now, ONE ?!!!!! I dont know what to think. I'm not doing everything right, like I get insane cravings that I give into, mostly for liquids, such as orange juice or skim choc. milk. Why is this happening already ?!! I am going on a diet. Has this happened to anyone this soon out ????? Is this normal? Will it pick back up ??!! Is it because I'm drinking Orange Juice about every other day ????!!!!!

you are like a month out or so right? Well weight loss is going to start going in spurts... for example, one week you lose a lb. the next its 5 then it's 2 lbs... So get use to the spurts because as you go farther on the road to recovery the weight loss is going to plateau for longer such as not seeing anything for 2 -3 weeks then losing some. It is happening because your body is stablizing it's self so your whole system doesn't go into shock. Yes it is normal. No it probably has nothing to do with the orange juice.. but you can drink it?? Orange juice is a little too sugary for me. Maybe switch to crystal lites orange drink, which I know might not be avaliable everywhere... I know atkins makes something similiar that's an orange drink too.
