0 lb loss again
For the second week in a row, I've lost 0 lbs.
I do realize that it's not a gain, and that is an accomplishment in itself. BUT I WANT TO LOSE!!! Arg! :mad: |
Ahw. Keep at it and good luck.
I too have been stuck at 147 - 148 for almost two weeks now. Just remember to be patient. :) |
I read posts sometimes where a person hits a plateau for like 3 months before they start losing again. I certainly hope that won't be me! That's such a depressing thought.

I'm seriously right there with you. I only eat 1200 calories a day and have been being active and going to the gym and I haven't lost any weight in over a week. It's obnoxious really. I tried upping my calories for a few days to 1500 and then I gained. UGH! It's so frustrating.

Can I just say.... PLATEAUS SUCK ***.
There! I feel better. :D |

The point here is that a few days is not an effective period of time to determine how much you should be eating. If your body can lose at 1,500, it will adjust to it and the weight will come off. If it can't, you will know soon enough. But a few days can't tell you for certain either way. Again, I'm not weighing in on what you should or shouldn't do. But weight loss is about experimentation, about finding what works for you. Don't be afraid to do that, and to give the experiment long enough for the results to be conclusive. If for some reason you were that person who maintained at 200+ pounds on 1,200 calories, then the most real weight you could gain in two weeks on 1,500 calories would be about 1.2 pounds. I know it can be disheartening, even scary, to experiment. I've done it and seen the weight go up: I know. But sometimes you just have to give your body a chance to work things out. For me, upping calories worked—with time. For you, it may not. But a few days will not tell you conclusively one way or the other. This holds true for changes to macros, exercise, etc. Give it a little time before you pass judgment on the change. Switching exercise around can result in water weight gain, for example. You have to wait it out to see if the change is effective. |
Take heart, there are so many things you can try that aren't as upsetting as changing your calories a lot.
fiddle a bit with your macros ... protein, carbs, fats fiddle with your exercise ... less cardio, more weights, walk in the sand ... |
