Please help me
 

Today was my weight in and I was so down to find out I only lost .2:(

I worked hard this week, and I was hoping for better numbers I guess. How long can I expect to see results? I've being making some research but would like to know your opinion/experience.

:)

It looks like you have lost a total of nine pounds. That is excellent. Weight loss is unpredictable some weeks especially at the beginning you will have a big loss. Other times , not so much. Also, and I know this does not seem fair, but the less you have to lose the slower it goes. Do not let this discourage you. You are doing great.

Thanks bargoo!

I reached the 10 pounds but I started today my week number 9 :(. Also, if I made a lot of exercise during the week why it didn't show on the scale today :?: Could it be possible that the numbers next week will reflect my exercise from last week?

Lots of things can affect your weight on a given day - if your period is about to start, you retain water. If you ate something salty the night before you weigh in. If you haven't had a bowel movement recently, you obviously weigh a bit more.

Look closely at your tracker too. Make sure you're accounting for every bite you take, and not overestimating your portion sizes.

A couple of weeks ago, I worked so so so hard all week, only to have gained 4 ounces at my weigh in. I was so upset. My period wasn't about to start, but like the PP stated, I did eat badly the night before. I went out to dinner and had a salad... which at restaurants, they ensure it is loaded sodium in the dressing, cheeses, croutons, the grilled chicken I had on it, etc... I shouldn't have ate it... I came home & looked it up.. something I thought I was doing good with, a salad, happened to be 26 points!!!
So really, anything can do it... but water retaining is the big one for me...
Don't get down on yourself! You have lost 9 pounds, that is excellent!! Go through your food journal, and see if you consumed a lot of sodium... if so, figure out what you can do better this week, drink lots of water, and keep your head up!! You can do this--the 9 pounds you have already lost prove that! Good luck!

Thanks everyone, I'm hanging in there. Let's see what happens next Sunday, I'm still behaving and exercising.:p

Good! Keep it up, you'll see the difference!

One week I did everything right and I gained .8 pounds!!! The next week I did everything right again and only lost 1.2 pounds. It was so discouraging. Then the next week, I lost 5.8 pounds! I was so excited! I would try not to worry too much about it. Who knows why your body did that, but I'm sure it will catch up with you. Hang in there!

Thanks everyone, I really deeply appreciate it.:hug:

My weight in was today and I was 2.2 down. I reached 12.2 in total, I'm happy.:)

THERE you go!!! Well done...patience is TRULY a virtue, and this thread reminded me how important dedication like yours is...
