Why has the scale not moved for 3 weeks?

Typical Day:

B: Protein Shake (w/fruit, no sugar)

L: 3 oz can of tuna mixed with 1 t mayo, 1 t pickle relish, 5 crackers

D: 3 to 4 oz portion of fish or ground beef or chicken with 1/2 to 1 cup of vege (non starchy)

Lots of water during the day.

So why am I not loosing weight? I'm not hungry, I get all my protein in, I'm eating around 1100 calorie a day and I'm doing aerobics 3 times a week. Perplexing!!!

well, maybe you need to up your calories just a tiny bit.

Have you been watching the tape measure? You body could be saying "TIME OUT!!!!! I have to re-assess what we've done!"

WOW I am impressed, you are doing great. Well we all know that muscles weighs more then fat, you have hit a plateau, you are probably seeing changes in your clothes because you are loosing inches or your scale is broke. LOL

Don't worry about the scale, keep up the great work. Do change up your exercise routine every couple of weeks if you don't. Don't get discouraged because you are the poster child for living healthy.

I got to a stall like that after I started real food, needless to say was very upset, made an appt with diatician, she did the muscle vs fat test and I had gained 12 of muscles at that time and as we all know, muscle weighs more than fat. Those scales can be your worst nightmare if you use them too often. During my 6-7 months post op I was at a stand still again, went back and I had gained 3 more lbs of muscle, go figure, LOL.

Don't weigh every day and most importantly..don't give up!

Good Luck

I am hitting the same thing this week. It's driving me crazy. I am not doing anything differnet then the last 6 weeks so I don't know what is going on. I do go for my first fill next tuesday so hopefully that will help kick start me again. Good Luck!! I know it's frustrating..
