Whenever you start a weight loss program always measure how much weight you’re losing and have a long term goal. Measuring how much weight you lost is an important tool to motivate yourself to work harder and become more focused. Initially you probably see that you start to lose a lot of weight during the first week. It makes you feel good, you’re actually making progress. However, on the second week, you’re weight stays the same for three days straight.

Same Weight for Three Days Straight

This can be discomforting for you and will probably be not motivated to continue with the program. You been running for 30 minutes a day and eating a good and healthy diet but your weight stays the same. However, don’t be worried, this is pretty normal when you’re in a typical weight loss program.

Body Adaptation

Before you started the program, your body is used to being not exercised and likes fatty food. When you go on a diet, the body is shocked into losing weight, during the second week the body will fight back and try to force your body into gaining the weight again. Don’t panic when this happens, whenever you change a habit, your body will try to revert back to its proper rhythm. After a while, the body will adjust to the new habit if you push through this barrier.

This usually last for a few days and you will notice that your weight will start to drop again. This may happen again during the program but when it happens you need to keep persisting and you will get over the speed hump.

Losing weight is like a stock market graph, it is never smooth with short spaces of fluctuation. If you keep persisting in the long run, you will have no problems in achieving your goals.
