Help - I need your encouragement
6 Answers
I attend a weekly slimming class and have lost almost 2 stone, however i now have lost all motivation and am having a bad 2 weeks!
I only lost 1/2lb last week (i normally lose 1 1/2 - 3lbs each week). I know your body weigh can change, but i need to kick start. its not just the weigh thing, i feel myself losing interest. Although I feel much better and look more confident, i just feel my progress is slowing recently. Can anyone give me any help or suggestions to get me back on track!
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You HAVE to stick to this. The first 2 stone comes off quite easily. But you need to see your eating plan as a way of life now, not something you are doing temporarily as a hobby before going back to "normal". If you give up now, you will gain back the 2 stone in lightning speed. This in turn will mess with your metabolism and you will find it harder to lose weight next time.
Instead of giving up, make a list of all the benefits of being ANOTHER 2 stone thinner... all those lush clothes! Not to mention health and confidence. You have a 2 stone head start on most of us, so KEEP AT IT!!
Could you get someone to sponsor you?
Also, hormones etc play a big part in weight loss. If you only lost half a pound last week, the chances are you will lose 3 lbs next week- thats how it has always worked with me! But if you give up, you will never know. Could you also start an exercise class- that's the best way to lose weight!

Dont give up sueking1. Im on the SW plan and losing between 1-3IB a week. Even if it's just 1IB I dont care as long as Im not gaining! As Scarlett says,hormones play a large part in our diets. If you're still of period age maybe your weight loss is slower because you're due? I used to gain upto 5IB each month when I was due.Keep going you're doing well. Kay.
Keep going ! congratulations on losing 2 stones, it's a lot! I'm trying to watch what I'm eating too, and I have quite a bit to lose, so I'm amazed at the willpower some people have like you. I know it's hard, but think of the positive aspects. You probably noticed great changes in your body after 2 stones, well imagine how amazing you will feel when you've lost even more ! Keep going Sueking1, you will be so proud of yourself ! And what's 2 weeks in a lifetime ? It's perfecty normal to reach a "plateau" when you're losing weight, but it will start coming off again soon, don't worry. Best of luck ! x
Hi sueking.i lost 5 stone in all with weightwatchers,on the slow weeks i wondered why i bothered at all,but i done it,in all it took me about 7 months,7 LONG months it felt at times,but i was told just cos it doesnt register on the scales,DONT think you having lost,apparently its down to,,,something i cant understand,,,,,anyway,the inches still came off regardless,keep going,you willhave negative thoughts sometimes but the end result,,,,is,,,,pride!!
