Rev me up!!
 

I feel like I am in a rut here. My weight loss was going so smoothly and now it seems to be slowing down... What can I do to start losing those 2-3lbs
a week again?
I am new to this group and I just want to thank all of you for your reponses
in advance!!!!!

If you're still losing at all then, believe me, your weight loss is going smoothly.

2-3lbs a week is actually quite a bit at a time. Most people "slow down" at some point. 1-2 lbs a week is a healthy amount to lose. If you're losing about that? Then don't change a thing. Just keep doing what you're doing.

If you're losing .2 a week. Either that's the rate at which your body wants to lose, or perhaps it's time to take a look at what you're eating and how often you're exercising.

It's pretty normal for weight loss to slow down. About 1lb a week is average for many people especially once you have lost the first half of weight. As long as you're losing at a steady rate you have nothing to worry about, just try to stay positive and well done so far on your current loss :)

I get frustrated when my massive weekly losses begin to slow down, but I take stock of my week and adjust. I look at it as it's still a loss (and ANY loss is better than a gain!) Sometimes I'll add another workout in if my schedule allows or do some extra walking or other intense physical activity (swimming has been my favorite this summer). I also pay extra attention to my calories and am extra extra careful not to go over. Usually that gets me back on track.

Thanks for all of your advice! Its all so helpful!! I'm just gonna add some more
activity in my day I think it would help me a lot!!
