I am in my first week (6 days so far) in MF. I took a peek at the scales three days in and was down 4 pounds...I plan on weighing on Saturdays so will "officially" weigh tomorrow. I checked the scale this am and it still is at 4 pounds. My question is - does your monthly cycle have any effect on the scale? I started 2 days ago and am hoping that is why there isn't any more showing. I haven't cheated once!! Any ideas?

Hey Kim!

A couple of things: Yes, monthly stuff slows down the scale but will probably pick up quickly right after. Next, the scale won't always move. This may seem obvious but you can't get nervous if you lose four then nothing for a couple of days. Your body is adjusting and losing what it can. Try to stay on your Saturday weigh-in schedule - that way you can't be affected by the days where "nothing" happens.

You're doing great - just hang in there!

for your response. I was hoping that was the case. I officially weighed in this am and have lost 5 pounds for my first week. It will be interesting to see what next week looks like.
