Three weeks in here! Week one I lost about 9 lbs and week 2 I lost 11. This week (on mushies) I gained a pound. Thoughts? Is my body just being stubborn or maybe the mushies are making it convert everything to fat? I've been eating salmon, protein drinks, low fat cottage cheese and 100 calorie soups mostly.

Normal, you were eating only liquids up till now, now you are eating real foods. Your weight loss will vary. Gaining alittle after all liquids for a few weeks is okay. Best wishes, Karen..aka..kll724

You lost 20lbs in 2 weeks?? That's pretty darn amazing!!! Sounds to me like you're doing great, and right on track!! You can't expect to lose those big numbers every single week, as long as you keep following the rules and doing what you're supposed to, the weight will continue to come off!

I'm trying to train myself off the scale -- it makes me crazy sometimes. A small gain or a plateau can be so frustrating even though I know it's fine and that I'm probably losing inches, fitting into jeans that were tight before, etc. Those are important things to look out for......the Non-Scale Victories, NSVs. You are doing beautifully -- tell yourself that every day because it is true!
