Lost 5 pounds in 3 days

[FreshTressa]

This is driving me crazy. After a two week stall, I have lost 5lbs in 3 days.

I want to lose a nice, steady, predictable 2-3lbs a week, but my body is not cooperating, lol!

Does anyone else seem to lose weight in 'chunks' like that?

In the world of atkins I am a turtle compared to most who do this way of eating. That said I am still 11lbs lighter then when I started. And when DH weight is literally MELTING off him daily I just remember to ask myself the following ?s and I usually feel better.

How long did it take me to gain all this extra wgt? YEARS!
Do I feel better have more energy now ? YES
Is my overall health improving? YES
Am I losing inches if not pounds? YES
Do my clothes feel better on me (esp. undergarments)? YES
Is my general attitude on a daily basis better? YES (as DH will be happy to tell you)

So each week if I only lose 1lb or 2lbs or NO lbs I just try to stay focused on my true goal - BEING HEALTHIER - in which wgt lose is just a happy side effect of!

HAPPY DIETING

I love it when the WOOSH fairy pays a call. Now, step away from that scale and stop weighing yourself so often.

Congratulations! You are doing it! You just keep at it; don't give up if it stalls. You might get that tape measure and check, but as Katholyn said, don't over do. Pick a day each week at most to weigh in and maybe a day a month to measure. Try to exercise and drink your water. You are becoming a more healthy you.

Good luck on your downward journey.
