Week 6 no loss this week

[letsdoit2011]

I have eaten same calories, but upped the exercise so I am hoping my lack of weight loss is possibly muscle? So frustrating when doing everything right and no shift in results, other than shift in PBS ....

Morning letsdoit2011

Welcome to the weigh loss forum.

I can understand your frustration when the scales don't move and you have done everything right. Have you took your measurements has sometimes we can lose inches instead of pounds. Why not join in with today's weigh in.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance.

Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.

Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.

Take your measurements at the start together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

We have daily weigh ins so why not come along and join us today. You can find the weigh ins on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post in Events and record your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

To get the most of the forum be active, share tips, recipes and experiences. Read some of the posts they are very motivating.

Have a good first week.

Welcome to the forum. I am losing weight for my wedding despite the fact that my fiancé and I haven't set a date yet. I am following Slimming World but weighing in at my mum's instead of going to meetings because I am saving for my wedding and I am in the process of moving. I have lost 5 1/2 lbs in 4 weeks. I really like this forum and appreciate the support I get from other members as well as friends and family.

YellowRose55 is spot on with her advice.

Don't get fixated on the numbers as fluctuations are absolutely normal. Hold onto what motivated you in the first place and if you Eat Less and Move More, over time your weight will go in the right direction. Don't think of yourself as being on a diet (they don't work in the long term) think of yourself as on a lifestyle change. I wish you success. Daisy1925

That is totally frustrating, but on the upside at least you haven't gained anything.

Have you taken your measurements? It's definitely worth doing as you may not see any movement on the scales but find that your waist measurement (for example) drops.
