Default how often do you loose?

Do you loose weight on a weekly basis? It seems to be for me that i will loose like 5lbs, then nothing for a week or two, then loose like 3-4 lbs, etc...Is this weight loss common? Or should it be consistant like 2 lbs / weekly?

I lose weekly but not always the same. Some weeks it's 2 pounds the next week it's 12 pounds then 1 pound the next then 6 the next. It's just wacky. But it's not uncommon to not lose at all. I went 3 weeks without losing an ounce once.

Just keep doing what your doing and you'll reach goal in no time.

Sometimes I lose; sometimes I actually gain; and others I stay the same.
It's the overall result that I have to focus on, not the weekly trek to the scale.

Please feel free to visit my Journal post # 704 has my history, everyone is different, but as the saying goes, which is so true................ You did'nt put it on nice and even it won't come off nice and even either.

Hi,

You're very normal. Sometimes your body is changing shape, sometimes weight, sometimes it's just getting caught up. Also, especially with women the monthly cycles can wreck havoc with any thoughts of a "constant" scale change.

You're doing great.....you have to look at it over time or you'll get frustrated.
