Weight Loss isn't a straight line down - don't get disheartened!

19/6/2019

Below will be 2 pictures of my client's current results, one measuring her body weight the other doing circumferences, 

From the pictures you'll see her body circumferences staying pretty similar apart from the waist but you'll see her body weight drop by 3kg!

Now the drop isn't a straight line, it goes up and down slight and up and down drastically, it stays the same, and its only been 7 weeks, imagine how that would now look over a 3-6 month period.

The reason it goes up and down is because of periods, salt, a wedding, a birthday, carb quantities, stress, sleep quality, movement restrictions all these things, but the trend and you get the sense it's always going down.

So when you step on the scales and it's gone up think about the possible reasons above? have you had a stressful few days? have you slept well? what is it? if everything's the same then that's the reason why you you do take measurements of you arms, thighs, waist and hips so you can see, if you have lost size on those places? don't worry if 1 week nothing changes, if the 2nd week nothing changes again, then think what SMALL adjustment you can make? are you drinking enough water? can you take out 1 pack of crisps? don't go and change everything, just 1 small change. 

Some weight loss results for women might stall for up to 4 weeks, so don't panic.

Just measure what you can and if results stop then maybe it's time to ask for help, if you have a PT and haven't seen any changes in a month or 2 then it's time to speak to your PT or get a new one who will get results!

If you're in a long term program like I am (the just cut it method) - after initial rapid loss you will hit more stable period, when every next pound would go much harder. I totaly agree with this sentence - don't go and change everything, just 1 small change. - I think it's a clue to successful weight loss

Thank you for your comment! I’m familiar with JCI, how are you getting on with it?

that’s isn’t strictly true, yes on most diets you will see drastic change at first because of the initial restriction on calories, but every pound being much harder to lose isn’t true, especially if you exercise, it depends on how much of a deficit you go into, maintain and are comfortable with and a number of other factors.

It’s definitely a clue to a longer term way of losing weight.
