Hi, i've struggled with my weight for years, and on and off with diets. This time i started in January, i have been so eager to lose some weight, especially for my sister in laws wedding in August.
I have been doing a shake in the morning, and 2 healthy meals, but keeping under 1700 calories. I had 4 days of bad eating, for birthdays etc, but i still lost 15 pounds.
And this week, i decided to do 2 shakes a day with a meal at night but still watching calories, i have been so good, especially when the next 3 Sundays will be pact with birthdays and mothers day.
Anyway i'll get to it, i weighed. My self today, and i only lost a pound, and i broke down. After a good week, and going on walks i was hoping 2 or 3 pounds. I have been secretly hoping to get 2 stone by my birthday (21st March), and now i feel so frustrated with myself.
I don't know what advice i need or if i needed to vent, but i honestly feel so annoyed.

Weight loss isn’t linear, and you could have some water weight if you had extra salt on your meal or whatever. The key thing is to NOT be upset about it and throw the towel in, just carry on. You are still losing, if it’s one pound or 3 pounds, it’s still a loss so it WILL get you to your target. Hang on in there!
