plateau??

[fOCuSd1]

Hello all...I have a question for ya...I have been on weight watchers for 2 weeks (I dont eat the weight watchers meals, I make my own meals such as chicken, fiber cereal, fruit veggies, no bread, no pasta, no dairy) and I have been going on the treadmill for 45 minutes everyday for the past two weeks as well. I take multi vits, glutamine, and other vitamins. My first week of my diet i lost 4 pounds, which I understand was water weight. On my second week I continued the 45 mins of treadmill and added an additional 35 minutes x 4 days a week of tae bo bootcamp abs. My second week I also didnt use up all my weight watchers "points" everyday, because I was consuming even more veggies and had an even healthier diet consisting of less point values. Im not in much pain from not taking a break from working out and Im not starving myself. Now, my problem is that I havent lost a pound during my second week. This is mind boggling to me. I have been eating more veggies and protein, working out more (not to exhaustion, though) and i havent lost a damn pound. Of course I feel great and I am stronger but wtf! I know I have only started this lifestyle change 2 weeks ago but from going from a sedentary, bad diet lifestyle to a much improved one, I would imagine I would have had better results, even if its only the second week. Is it possible that I have hit a plateau this early in the game? Do you think I could have gained lean muscle mass which is causing my scale dilemma? I dont know whats going on here. I just wanna do the right thing here and i feel that I am, but its not working! grrr someone help.
my stats are:
26 yrs old female 5'6" 195 lbs. (ugh..I dont look that big though...i could pass for 150) ...proportioned... but theres flab everywhere lol :thumbsdow

Your only two weeks into it. You need to have patience. And no you did not put on muscle mass in two weeks. You sound like your looking for a quick fix. Fad diets are exactly that a fad. Do some research in our nutrition section you will find all the info you need on proper dieting. Most overweight people are they way they are out of laziness and not willing to push themselves that extra step. Look at yourself in the mirror and use that as your motivation. Good luck
