What's going on?

I'm almost 6 months out and my weight loss has stalled. UGH! I know I just need to be patient but gawl dang it, it is hard. I've been between 221 and 223 for 2 weeks now. I need some encouragement, friends. I'm working out 3 times a week and eating right, I think. On the bright side, I feel great! I have energy and fit into clothes I haven't been able to wear in a long time! I'm trying to concentrate on the positive here. Have a great day! Ronda

((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))) Ronda, I don't know what to suggest, but I can tell you, a lot of us are right there with you in the same boat! Perhaps share a typical day of eating with us? Are you getting your liquids in? Did you just start working out? (Muscles weigh more than fat!) Beth CW- 191 Down 107 and 61 to goooooooooooooooooooooal!!

Hi Beth, Thanks for the support! Today I ate: Breakfast - Oatmeal snack - NECTAR protein drink Lunch - 2-3 oz tuna fish (plain out of the can , no mayo, etc.) snack - lowfat microwave popcorn (2 cups) - oops Dinner - 2 oz Chicken - grilled; banana - 1 large According to FitDay that is 712 calories; 75g carbs; and 64g protein. What do you think? Ronda

Hey Ronda, I feel for you...I was stalled for 3 weeks...it was making me nuts. When I read Dianne reached the Century mark I asked her how much protein and how many calories she was getting in...she gave me some great info. This week I have up'd my protein from 60g to 75g...trying to get 80g and calories up to 800. This little change and three days and I am proud owner of another -3lbs loss...at least it is going down again. Good Luck!

just hold on Ronda i'm sure you'll be losing again before you know it. i love your name, it's great. God bless on your continued success

Thanks "Classy Ma" I like yours too! I came by my name honestly. My family has been teasing me for years because I've become so forgetful. It is really bad and it is mainly because of some anti-depressant medication I take. I have been able to get off of all my other meds except that - darn it anyway! Anyway, I thought it suited me now in more ways than one! Have a great day! Ronda

Hi Ronda. Sounds like your body is adjusting to the new you and is changing in ways you can't see on the scales. Be especially kind to yourself right now and measure your successes in other ways. I'm right there with you as are others. You're doing great! Peg

Hi Ronda, Stay focused on the bright side, it has so much to offer! I still don't weigh, so I haven't been frustrated once by a plateau. You are doing things right, and your body is probably just having a readjustment period. Have you been measuring? I think its a much better gauge than that darn old scale. Take care darlin' Rachel
