Frustrating!

I am really slowing down with my weight loss. I went down to 145 now up to 148. Seems like it takes forever to get that weight back off when it comes on ...usually before my cycle. Is anyone else slowing down alot? Sometimes, I don't get near enough water in, do you think this is the cause. I had about a hundred pounds to lose, so the doc said I would be a slow loser, but this is FRUSTRATING! Help for my frazzled brain would be appreciated! Nicole

We are all going to start to slow down now, part of it all. Yes, that time stops me dead. And yes, not getting enough water will stop the weightloss too. I had about 120 to loose, I feel like I have been in the 90ish pounds lost for ever. But then I look back and realize I felt that way about each decade. I just trust if I do everything I have been told to do, I will get there. How can I not, I only get around 700 calories a day. I dought you eat enough to stop loosing or to start gaining either.

Hi Nicole-My weight loss completely STOPS when my cycle starts and for a whole week after it ends so for about 2 weeks out of every month since April I only show a loss on the scale for 2 weeks and then nothing for 2 weeks and it IS very frustrating -I will say this, as long as you know you are eating right and doing what you should then I wouldnt let it stress you out-the weight will come off eventually-good luck and remain positive : ) lori

I really understand the frustration. I am only 9 pounds from my goal and it comes off so slow. I lose a pound, bounce back and forth for what seems like forever and then finally lose another pound. Then I bounce back and forth with that one. But it will come. Of course if the excess skin was gone, I would be under goal. Hazel
