1lb lost - stall broken??????????????????????????

Well as you know I HATE the scales at the moment. We have what you would call a disfunctional relationship, which clearly needs therapy. But we've been working together now for so long that it seems a shame to walk away from the relationship just because of a small misunderstanding - that being that THEY NEED TO MOVE. After some discussion with them (heated I might add), they have finally seen my point of view and have acceded to at least a small step in my direction. So what I'm trying to say here is that I've lost 1lb. I know, I know - hardly worth mentioning, but when you think I've been stuck at 226 for over 3 weeks now, I'll take anything I can get. 225 looks good to me Now, the scales and I are not going to give up the therapy as I know how stubborn they can be. We still have a long way to go before we see eye to eye, but at least we've taken a step.

Ruth, that's great. I think we'll all take a pound, since that means the stall has been broken. Cheers to you I have to admit I was chicken this morning. I know I've been saying I was going to step on the scales this morning to see if I'd lost anything, but when I went to step on, I lost the nerve. I decided I'd give myself one more day of exercise before I stepped on. I am hoping I'll have lost something by tomorrow. So I'll let everyone know tomorrow if the scale is finally moving for me, or if I lost my mind and tossed it out the window in frustration!!

Why don't you wait until Friday to give yourself a few more days and then post on our Friday weigh in post? That was my plan but I couldn't stay off them - it's a love / hate relationship. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em

Good idea! (Whew, don't have to step on tomorrow either) I'll wait and weigh Friday morning and post with the weigh-ins.

Wahoo!! That's awesome Ruth. That means that your stall is broken and it's all downhill again. Our scales must have gotten together last night and had a little chat. I had been stuck at 205-207 what seemed like forever but it read 203 this morning!!!

Yay Megan, that's great news. Down hill all the way...................

I lost a couple more pounds since Friday too when I checked yesterday morning so maybe all of us May 2006'ers who are having stall problems will finally start moving again.

That's great Rick. Yes maybe us Maybies are on the move again - clear the way, we're coming through

WAY TO GO, RUTH!!!!! A pound is a POUND and that is awesome! Just imagine a pound of butter ... that is what you lost this week. That is fantastic!!! Did you get Millie off to school yet? My 6-year old, Abby, is starting 1st grade today. Oh, I am in tears! Where did my little girl go? She will go to school all day now ... kindergarten was just half a day. Such a big step! Great job on conquering your stall ... you are doing GREAT!!! Deanna

Thanks Deanna Yes, when you put the weight into actual terms it make sit feel more real doesn't it. Millie went back to school today. She was very excited as she gets to go upstairs to her classroom and instead of beign served her lunch at the table, get s to carry it herself on a tray. She was a bit worried about dropping it, so I did the reassuring thing, telling her accidents happen and they dont' matter, then suggested I could always have a word with one of the lunch helpers & ask them to shout at her in frustration if she does make a mess, just like mommy does to make her feel at home!!!!! Thankfully she saw the funny side of it - 'oh mommy'. I bet Abby is tired doing all day. It's a big step isn't it. They are still only babies aren't they. Thankfully they still want their moms. Just wait til they turn 13 and become teenagers - oh my....
