And the scale hasn't moved since two weeks ago! I'm still down the same 30 lbs I was down two weeks ago, however, my clothes are fitting better. So eventhough I haven't lost any lbs, I think I must be losing inches. I still can't wait for that scale to move again though. lol. But I do think some of the culprit may have been all of the gatorade I had been drinking, so as of this morning, I got a big water bottle with squeezed lemon in it. It's refreshing and not making me gag. I'll see what results I get from doing this. Thanks for all the suggestions I got yesterday on how to get the water in. I'm trying them all out!

My Nuts specifically said for all of us not to drink gatorade and no citris fruits and that means lemon.

30 pounds of weight loss in your first months is excellent. I lost 22. track your monthly weight.
yes your losing inches. measure yourself. dont worry you will lose again. this is normal. your body is just adjusting.

Wow really??? My NUT never "specifically" mentioned gatorade, but I do recall no citrus for the first three weeks. But I'm over four weeks out now, and I just squeeze a little in the water to flavor it.

I hope you took some before measurements then you can track your progress through these tough times when the scale doesn't move. Take them now for future reference if not. You are doing well and the scale will move and good for you to drinking tha****er, I don't like water and it has been a problem for me all along.
Continued good losing to you and keep up the great work.

Ive been through weeks like that! it makes you feel like poo but from what ive seen on here it is normal. I do body measurements monthly so if I feel like I am not seeing the scal move much, I see the inches move. it is def a process of ups and downs, take it day by day and find help with your support system :)

Keep it up! The scale will start moving again, it's normal, and yes it can be very frustrating, but just be patient, your body is adjusting to all those changes....

Hi there,
I pretty much had the same expereince at my one month mark. But I did notice the same--my clothes fit better than the previous week at the same weight. We need to have faith that our bodies are doing what they are programmed to do. And I always say mybody knows better than my head what is going on.

Congrats on your first 30 and keep up the great work.
