LOSING MOTIVATION!

[T2801]

Hi all. Need some advice. Have stuck rigidly to my healthy eating plan and been doing the couch to 5K but only on 2nd week!! I lost 5 lbs in my first week which I was delighted about. However, this week, the scales just haven't moved!!! Is this normal?? I'm the sort of person that needs to keep seeing an improvement otherwise I will just give up! Any advice, hints, tips, kicks up the bum very welcome. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you need a kick up the bum a good average weightloss is 1-2lbs a week. So to lose 5lb in one week is amazing! Your body is experiencing a lot of changes and it may have decided to hold onto a bit of weight this week. DONT give up. Try to view it as 2.5lb loss for last week and this week if it makes u feel better! if the scales don't move next week then maybe you need to slightly adjust something, but I think if you hold on until next week you'll get there.

Weight loss is a journey with lots of ups and downs and if we give up everytime we hit a bump then what's the point?? focus on more than just the scales. Your body shape. The way your clothes fit. And the way you feel - all signs that you're doing the right thing and the scales will catch up eventually!

Hang on in there T2801

For some slimmers it may be best to weigh in every fortnight or even monthly. Salt can retain quite a lot of water and this may have happened to you. Keep going, stay posting and don't give up whatever happens.

Have a good talk to yourself and write a list about how your life will be better when you lose those extra unwanted pounds .

Sending a large dose of determination to you xx
