OK, so in the last 7 weeks (plus 2 days) I've lost 7 pounds. For everyone who freaks out because of the doggone scale, here is what those 7 weeks looked like:
Week 1: -1/2 lb.
Week 2: - 1 lb.
Week 3: 0
Week 4: 0
Week 5: - 4-1/2 lbs. (whoa!)
Week 6: 0
Week 7: 0
Today: - 1 lb.
What's more, in the middle of some of those weeks there was actually a gain.
So, I guess you could say that my pattern is plateau - drop - plateau - drop. I expect that by next week I'll have lost another pound or two. And then, probably I'll hang at the next weight for awhile.
The point of this is that weight loss isn't linear, at least for me. I don't know why that is. I've gone back in FitDay and looked at calories in/out for each of those weeks, and there is just no pattern! Yes, variation, but not anything that would account for those differences. But, my body must know what it's doing!
So if anyone is having one of those "stuck" places where they don't know WHAT is going on--stay with it! Don't give up!
