This is a request for advice. Let me know if I’m breaking any rules.
My wife has been on a weight loss journey for about a month and has been using Noom. Her first two weeks went okay losing about 5 pounds total (SW: 203).
She then plateaued and hovered around 196 for the last two weeks. When she weighed on this morning she was at 197 and she sort of just reached a breaking point. So cried for a bit in bed and did not want to hear a single bit of encouragement (“you’ve done so good, don’t give up”, “it’s only 1 lb, that will be gone so quick”, etc)
She really has been cutting calories and eating healthier food. Also working out hard workouts for about an hour a day. For the past two weeks I’d say she averaged 800-1200 calories according to noom. I did propose the possibility that the calories tracked in the app might not be perfect but she said she usually OVER estimates her serving sizes after weighing or measuring them out.
I know her period also affects her weight a bit as last week her weight was trending upwards for a bit even with days eating only watermelon and cabbage.
Should we take a deeper dive into her macros? A friend suggested maybe not getting enough protein as noom categories most meats as “okay” not “good”.
Mostly what I’m looking for is how to be supportive during the ups and downs. Her expectations may be off as losing just a half pound a week is sometimes recommended, but with any gain or even steady weight she gets discouraged.
Thanks in advance
