Why Has the weight loss stopped already?

Ok, so i just started my diet again 2 weeks ago. Previously a few months ago, after gaining 30 pounds, i lost 20 of them, and am now tryinhg to get rid of the last 10. So, 2 weeks ago I started and lost about 4.5 pounds in one week, then the next day i was 1/2 a pound up so after this weight loss i was 131. Then i messed up on the weekend, kinda bad cus i went camping….mistakes, but i got back up and started up again on tuesday. It is now saturday I I weigh exactly what I weighed last week, 131! i have been doing so good eating healthy, and i know i have to get to the gym too, but right now im super busy with work and i thought drastically changing my eating habits would still give me good weight loss. What is wrong and what can I do to get things going again? I don’t want to have to start eating less and less every time i hit a plateau! (i eat a normal amount now, just healthier food, smaller portions)i feel like its sacrifice and hard work for nothing

First, lets start with the basics that I’m sure everyone has heard. Your weight is always a function of how many calories you eat versus how many calories you burn. If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Plateaus happen when the body comes to a balance between what you eat and what you burn. If you want to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you take in and I say it this way on purpose. I always prefer, for people interested in losing weight, to increase their exercise before reducing their intake, assuming they are eating healthy food.

Now to your question. I need specifics. You don’t give your height or whether you are male or female but I’m guessing you are female. I tend to believe that a lot of people, women in particular, believe they should lose more weight then they actually need to. Let me ask you this, when you step on the scale, does it say that your hips look too wide or that you have a little extra roll around the waist? No? All it can give you is a very objective measurement of how much you weigh. So why does that number matter? I can take two people, both weighing 131 pounds, one with 15% body fat and the other with 35% body fat and I would guess that the person with 15% body fat will look much better than the other. The person with the lower body fat ratio will look thinner than the person with the higher ratio even though they weigh the same. This is because of the fact, stated earlier, that muscle is denser than fat.

Another very important concept to understand, not only is muscle denser than fat, it also burns more calories than fat which is basically just dead weight. In my previous example, the person with the lower body fat percentage will need to eat more than the person with the higher percentage just to keep her weight constant because she has more muscle. This means that, not only will doing exercise itself cause you to burn more calories, having extra muscle on your body will cause you to burn even more.

I know as much as anyone that finding time and energy to do exercise after a hard day at work is difficult but it is a much healthier way of finding the shape that you want instead of eating less and less. And, think of it, if you do enough exercise, you might even have to eat more and more just to keep the weight on.
