When you want to lose weight, sometimes your state of mind or body wants to resist. Maybe you begin to lose moderate amount of weight initially, without a struggle. Still, weight loss might slow down or stop entirely after a short while.

Let’s take two weeks to understand why you are not continuing to lose weight with ideas for action on how to get through this stage and begin to move once more toward your goal.

Maybe you are still trimming down and not aware of it. If you think you are undergoing a weight loss slow down or stoppage, do not worry.It is not unusual for the scale not to change for a few days. This does not indicate that you are not losing fat.

Body weight tends to vary by a few pounds. It hinges on the foods you consume. Your hormones can also have a significant impact on how much water your body retains. Also, you can gain muscle at the same time as you are losing. This is especially normal if you recently began exercising. This is desirable as what you actually want to lose is body fat,  not just weight.

It is a good idea to use something besides your scale to measure your progress. For instance, measure your waist circumference and body fat percentage once per month. Likewise, how well do your clothes fit and how you appear when you look in the mirror can be revealing. Except when your weight remains at the same place for greater than 2 weeks, you perhaps do not need to be concerned.

REVIEW

A weight loss slow down, or stoppage may be justified by muscle increase, undigested food, and variations in your body water. If the scale doesn’t move, you might still be losing fat.
