F / 41 / 5'4
I know, I know, I KNOW!!!!! I'm just panicking. I'm on my 3rd week in my weightloss journey. I lost about 6lbs on the first week, 1lbs early on in my second week, and no movement for a week.
I know, it's too early to judge, there's all sorts of reasons why I would 'stall' etc... I've even lost 1" on my belly and 0.5" on my waist. So I know I'm doing something. Something's happening.
I eat at around 1200-1400 a day, and I do weigh everything (I promise, I do - I've been lurking here for 3 weeks, I've seen the threads, I've been scrupulous - if I eat 3 olives, I weigh them. If I cut off some cheese to snack on I weigh it etc... And I log everything on MFP.)
I guess I'm asking for soothing words of confidence.
This isn't my first rodeo. I lost about 60lbs way (weigh?!) back in 2013. The thing is, I just sort of did it and forgot it. Meaning, I decided to just eat mostly 'clean', cut all processed foods and up vegetables, weighed myself once and then just...forgot it. I was busy with other things. I hardly noticed I was losing weight until my jeans got weirdly baggy and BOOM, I weighed myself again and was 40lbs down.
I'd like to get back to that mentality again. Set it and forget it. This weighing myself daily is stressing me, and yet I'm desperate to see the scale go down. I put on all the weight I'd lost and then some, and have tried multiple times to do it again and never managed. I guess I'm nervous that I can't do it.
Any strong words of wisdom, any stern tellings off, anything would help!!
[And, in non-related news: I don't do breakfast, so I've been drinking 'meal replacement shakes'. Yes, I log them. I couldn't find my usual brand so I opted for a protein powder thingy. Good lord. I've never met a protein powder I liked. Now I have £15 of the stuff to drink my way through because I refuse to waste money. Ugh!]
Thank you for your time!
