Default Re: Feeling disheartened

You have to give your body time to adjust. Slow and steady wins the race. Stay on plan, step away from the scale. You are defeating yourself. We KNOW the plan works if you work it. Don't get discouraged, talk yourself up, what you know to be true. You stay on plan, it will work, just let it. It is going to take time. Maybe increase your exercise or switch it up. Move into OWL and add those more veggie carbs, your body might respond if you feed it more, not thinking you are starving it. Post induction stall syndrom is well documented on this site, read those stickies. My weight loss has not been over the top, but its steady and I may not see a weekly drop, but month to month, I am losing. Measure, sometimes it comes off in inches and not pounds. I'll take inches, over pounds any day. Remember you CAN do this. Do not be discouraged and do not compare yourself to others and their rate of loss, just listen to your own body and learn it.
