So, you've been good. Another week has passed and you've been on plan and done everything to the letter. Waiting for that number to pop up you hope for a lb lost...no...TWO lbs lost...and then it happens....you've gained
.
I like to call these phantom pounds, so what do you do when you get on the scale and have gained or maintain after a perfect week?
From personal experience if in two-three weeks I'm still not losing I journal everything and figure out that maybe I'm not as on plan as I thought. On the other hand, if I am completely on plan, I lose more lbs then normal in the following weeks which more then makes up for one or even two weeks of stalling.
So, what do you do? Stay on plan? Change it up? How long do you wait?
