I have been lurking for several years and I know that you ladies know your stuff! Please help me figure out what is going on.
I am at the end of the first two weeks of my weight loss efforts. I have been doing very well (if I do say so myself). I have been keeping track of my calories on Fitday and fall right around 1200-1300 a day. Once I think I hit 1800 and once 1500 but otherwise pretty consistent. The first week I rode my exercise bike about 20 minutes a day. On my first official "weigh in" after week one, the scale had me down 4.5 pounds and I was very happy.
Motivated to go on, I upped my bike riding to 40 minutes a day and fit in a few more walks (including one on the beach last night that had me huffing and puffing for sure!). Every morning, I get up, go to the bathroom and weigh myself. Ever since the happy weigh in of Monday morning, I have stayed .6 pounds up from the Monday number. I know that it not a lot but at the two week mark, I expected the number to still be inching down pretty quickly. What is going on? It isn't that time of the month or just before it or just after it. I have been eating healthy with lots of veggies and fruits. I have noticed that my carbs are a larger percentage than they should be but I am not much good in the kitchen so it has been hard enough to come up with low cal let alone low carb.
Anyone have any ideas why the scale has already stalled? I am going shopping today and if I have to tweak the diet, now is the time.
