I was slightly overweight and so I decided to lose some. No miracle deit was involved except that I simply ate a little less. I lost seven pounds in three months and was losing a bit more but then, I took a part time job which required a lot of walking and lifting heavy things. I noticed that I stopped losing weight and at times found myself gaining. My eating habit never changed. Waht's going on?

Please, don't be a bulimiac! Your body is now in a stage of "shutting down." Therefore, you're not going to lose any weight, but the weight will come off from your bones, muscle, etc. I went through this for about a year or so. Developed heartburn, PCOS ovarian cysts (is linked to bulimia), no periods, many cavities, and i have trouble breathing all the time. all the symptoms are from bulimia. You WILL regret it! You may not now, which I didn't either, until the side effects started coming! Please listen to me! And don't just think I want a Best Answer! I am serious! I almost ruined my life and I'm trying to help out others before it's too late! I am now doing it the right way, eating healthy and exercsing! You should do the same! Good Luck! =]

Well after you lose a certain amount you often stop. Also with you starting this new job lifing and such, you could be gaining muscle which weighs more then fat. You can lose inches without noticing weight loss. Keep it up, you will lose more!!!! Congrats on the first 7!!!

Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein, and exercise. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body fats.
It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.
Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog

Well sometimes your body goes into a spell when you are trying to lose weight and decides that it dont what to lose anymore weight. Keep on doing what you are doing and all of a sudden it will drop off all at once.

Alright, now if you didn't look at the scale, would you have noticed the weight gain?
If so, then you should start doing more cardio...But if you haven't, then just dont worry about the scale.

Sometimes lifting heavy can cause weight gain. Its why football players and wrestlers lift weights.

sounds like you're gaining muscle, which is better than fat but weighs the same. You should be loosing inches though. Check your clothes when you put them on. see if they seem a little looser.

if you're lifitng heavy things and you're not losing weight, that might mean that you've gained muscle. and muscle weighs more than fat.
good luck.

You might have hit a weight plateau. You can overcome it if you exercise more and change up your diet.
