I have observed that during the first two weeks on the program, the weight loss is very fast! I actually lost 10 pounds during the first two weeks. However, from the third week and onwards, the weight loss became very slow - like one pound in two weeks. Now that I am on my 6th week, I have lost a total of 12 pounds. I don't worry anymore if I don't lose a pound within the week. What keeps me motivated is the loss in inches around the waistline. I have lost 4 inches in 5 weeks!

@ Patitillo : Zumba is fun! :D That's great, that's also another way, your clothes start to feel looser. :-q I'd say losing inches is even better than losing weight!

Hi @aimeevr23 !

As you've found out, weight loss isn't linear...and if you only have a 1-pound fluctuation, you don't need to be too concerned. Many factors can also explain that 1-pound, such as if you ate salty food, had too much water, or even had your period. If it's for those reasons, the weight will go away once you get back to normal. If you're exercising, it can also be muscle mass. :)

Maybe it would help if you increase your exercise, if you can do it in the morning, before breakfast, it really work s, I can not go because of work. Good lock.

Hi Patitillo,

I lost the 1 pound that I gained last week. So I guess I just have to be patient and stick with the program :)

Until now end of week 3 I managed to keep the same weight, but I am watching a lot what I eat, and, I think I am in a plateau, but I think we have to be patient, exercise and keep the diet, it will pay off. :)
