Niko, please don't be discouraged. You are setting yourself up for disappointment if you think it is unusual to go four days without weight loss. It would be great if the weight came off in a linear fashion, but it just doesn't. I only averaged a loss of between 1 and 2 pounds a week, and that included weeks when I didn't lose any. But those losses surely did add up.

I know that it's hard to stay off the scale, but it really isn't the best gauge of fat loss, anyway. I always kept a pair of jeans that were too tight for me, and tried them on every week to 10 days. It was great to watch a pair of jeans that I couldn't button, become so big that I had to give them away. Now that's a gauge of fat loss!

Hang in there.
