Hello, I started my weight loss journey on 17 August. I'm trying to lose 30lbs total. I have lost about 10lbs so far. Last week I didn't lose any weight and it was a bit discouraging, but I am journaling my progress and the things I eat. I started eating the processed low calorie frozen meals last week. I am doing a reduced cal diet and walking 5 days a week for an hour or more. Well I think those processed dinners are no good for me. I stayed within my calorie intake goal and kept exercising, but for whatever reason I didn't lose any lbs this week. I assume it is the meas that made the difference so this week I will not eat them and see what happens. If I lose weight then I know what I did wrong Anyhoo, I am so happy to be here!!! Oh yeah I hope to have the weight off by the end of November, losing 1 to 2 lbs a week.

Welcome to the forums. Don't be too discouraged from the lack of recent weight loss, things happen. I would be curious to find out if the processed frozen meals were high in sodium. Excess sodium could cause water retention. Just a thought. Keep up the good work. Walking is great exercise.

I have noticed that a lot of the "frozen diet entrees" are very high in sodium. I have to keep a eye on sodium intake due to my high blood pressure. Just make sure you are reading the Nutritional Information. Low Calories does not alway equal healthy.

Thanks for the warm welcome!! And I never thought about the sodium content. They may have been it. Either way, no more of those meals for me. I have already shown a difference since day 1 and 2 of this week.
