Lost 5lb in first 2 weeks then stayed the same and even gained a lb over the next 4. Was on the verge of giving up then this week have unexpectedly lost 3. This means I am a total of 7lb down over 7 weeks which I am happy with.

Wanted to post as have been spurred on by others posting of getting through plateau weeks. Hope this helps someone.

& back to average loss per week.

Nice one. This is how I lose too, zig-zag...

Really well done for sticking with it, it must have been hard!

Congrats Joltek! Well done!!

Thank you for sharing this...it is exactly my situation, following two weeks of visitors and showing them round the fine eateries of Luxembourg in the snow or celebrating birthdays! Despite tucking in a couple of slightly shortened fasts in each week, i gained a pound and a couple of centimetres. But am encouraged by your experience to carry on.

Well done Joltek. I've been on a plateau for a few weeks too but feel like I've lost a bit more now (I post my weigh-ins on Wednesdays but I do weigh every day which I know is bad!). 3lb is really good though - I don't think mine will be that much.

Woohoo well done Joltek for the loss and well done for sticking with it.

Well the scales did move a bit....from 12 st 8 5/8 last Wednesday to 12 st 7 7/8 today. I don't think I'm on a plateau, just a very gentle downward slope

Really great to see this post. Feeling a bit disheartened today as despite losing weight the first 2 weeks, I haven't budged for the last 2 weeks. I will stick it out...

I too plateaued for 2 weeks, stayed off the scales for another because I didn't want to get disheartened- got on today with low expectations ( I didn't feel any thinner) and lo and behold down 2.4 lbs. Credit this forum with hanging in there- it isn't always a straight drop down more like a rolling hill... but you're going down nonetheless
