ORIGINAL: WhoKnows42 if she doesn't lose weight one week, the portion size/calories have to be reduced. Weight loss doesn't work that way. It's a not straight line down with equal amounts lost. You can sometimes go weeks without "losing" anything, then one day wake up 5lbs lower. This, and what Des said. Also, cold remedies cause the body to retain water and will actually increase weight in a week, if one finds the need to take these. Having lost 95 pounds, I can attest that people who do not know about the nuances of dieting (and the OP suggests that's the case here) should not be managing another's diet. There is SO MUCH at play when losing weight - calories is just a tiny bit. Fiber count, carbs, fat grams, protein and, very importantly, exercise. In my loss of 95 pounds, I couldn't count the number of weeks I didn't lose, or actually went up a pound or two, without having changed a thing. Punishing someone by taking away calories just adds to the emotional sense of defeat that a person generally already battles when trying to lose weight. Not a great idea. You know what the Mister has done through my weight loss?? He has trusted me to manage it, and he encourages me so much along the way that it's all been an extremely positive experience, even on those weeks I didn't lose.
