stuck in a rut at week 6

[yo-yo girl]

Hiya,

Im new here and stuck in a rut at week 6 on the sole source diet.

I've lost 10, 6.5, 1, 7, 1 so far but am getting in a rut and wonder is it worth going on?

Any tips to boost my weight loss? Im aiming for 4 stone and am only 25 lbs into it.

I dont always drink the amount of water required, does that matter ?

Any guidance would be great, as im well fed up.

cheers

Hi yo-yo girl

Am i right in saying you've had 5 weigh- ins and have lost 25.5lbs???? If so, that is FANTASTIC!!! way to go! That's a brilliant weightloss! Can i ask why your not happy with that? Did you expect to lose more in 5wks? Remember, Cambridge say "a stone a month" You've done over that

I'd be sooo happy if that was me!

Yes the water IS important! I always drank 6pts a day. I'm restarting Cambridge tomorrow and i will be back drinking my 6pts (and running to the loo every 2mins of course!) haha!

Good luck! and well done so far!!

Can't top the good advice above, but I do agree you're doing just fine. Weight loss isn't linear, unfortunately. It doesn't come off in same sized chunks every week--how I wish it did...

By the looks of things, you'll lose several pounds next week. All sorts of factors can get in the way, you see. Hormones, the weather (e.g., whether you're hot or not ), whether you're a bit under the weather, whether you've been drinking enough, whether you're a little bit constipated... I could go on, but I won't.

Just hang in there. 25lbs is an amazing achievement in 5-6 weeks--that's an average of 4 lbs a week. Try getting that at Weightwatchers...

Hugs--you can do this!

I think you should be thrilled at what you have lost - its amazing! if you have before pictures you hould take a now picture and compare and i bet there will be a big differnce!

What you have achived in 5 weeks is amazing so be proud of yourself, a small loss one week means a big loss the next time. Its just thw way the body works!
