Feeling discouraged...

I am about 10 weeks out from surgery. Started working out with a personal trainer 3 times a week 3 weeks ago. Feeling good but my weight has been the same for 3 weeks now. I am starting to get frustrated. I am eating well, 3 meals (high Protein, low card), no snacking, not drinking with meals, etc. Any one else having similar issue or can shed some light on maybe why I'm not losing?

Adding exercise into your routine when you've never really worked out before can halt your weight loss. You may need to eat a bit more, depending on the type of exercise and how strenuous it is. How many calories do you net per day? Also, are you weighing your food or eyeing it? I've found this can make a huge difference.

Also, you may be at the point where you're losing inches for awhile and not weight. This is pretty common and is actually the better/best measurement of weight loss. The scale is more measurable yes but when the clothes start fitting looser, you know you're doing something right as you're losing fat and not body mass, mass consisting of both fat and muscle.

I say give it some time; wait it out. Maybe put the scale away and focus on giving your best during your workouts.

Good luck!

Make sure that you're eating enough calories, have you measured your inches? Sometimes your weight loss might halt but you're still loosing inches.
