What if the scale doesn’t budge?

Even if you’re eating less and being more active, 
your weight might stay about the same for a while or “plateau.” 

What are your thoughts and feelings when the scale doesn’t budge?

If you’re frustrated or discouraged by a weight loss plateau, 
ask yourself these questions:
	Yes	No	
Am I self-monitoring my fat/calorie intake accurately?				
Are my portion sizes accurate?			
Based on my current weight, am I restricting my calories enough to lose weight?			
Am I keeping my fat intake to less than my fat gram goal?			
Am I meeting my weekly goal for physical activity?			

Did you answer “no” to any of the questions?  
If so, what could you do to tighten up 
your weight loss program?						

                                                                                                     

Did you answer “yes” to all of the questions?  If so: 
What could you do to stay motivated while the plateau lasts?

                                           

How could you measure your progress other than by your weight?
