Hello,
My significant other and I have been on SB for 6 weeks now. I am fully on Stage 2 and last weekend I messed up.
I started at 278 and am down to 244. I am 6'3" and I haven't lost A POUND in over a week now. Am I doing something wrong? I haven't changed my eating habits as far as sticking to the plan, but I did mess up last weekend (ate two corndogs and beer at some fair)...
Suggestions? |

you've lost 33 pounds in 6 weeks for an average of 5.5 pounds PER WEEK
you've done nothing wrong. just keep on going. |

| weight loss in neither linear, predictable nor comparable. Sometimes if you have been losing that much for awhile, your body will just take a break for awhile to catch up and normalize before starting to let the weight come off again. Can't explain it, but it just is. Good time to practice a P3 mindset where you will do everything "right" for the rest of your life and not lose anymore anyway. ;) At some point we have to learn to eat well and healthily for it's own sake and for our health and well being regardless of the feedback from the scale. |

jhdo4e - if it has been only a week and you are sticking to the SB way of eating, I would not stress. There will be days or weeks at a time when you will probably experience fluctuations or stalls. I'm in the middle of week 5 since starting, and there was a week where the scale didn't move, and there was a period of days where I was up 2 lbs. A lot can factor into a stall or gain. Keep going!
RedRox, you are the voice of wisdom. I really like your healthy attitude about weight loss. It has taken us a few tries on diets before we came to SB to come to the right frame of mind about changing our diet, but DH and I finally feel like we are doing this as a way to live better (and of course, lose some excess weight in the process). Like you say, if you go ON a diet, you will eventually go OFF that diet. :) |

So, I neglected to mention we haven't been doing any exercise at all, just losing the weight. So today I had an awakening.
I just got done walking 3 miles... maybe I need to do this everyday to jump start my system? Maybe my body is trying to tell me something? I know I seem like an idiot... but this suddenly occured to me.
Thoughts? |

| can't hurt, should help. regular exercise is good for your overall health anyway. You should incorporate exercise of some kind at some point, so no time like the present! |
