it looks like a lot of folks are in the same boat

OK I have finally hit a stall... haven't lost an ounce in two weeks.  Also, I have noticed that I have been feeling hungry a lot more lately.  After reading some posts, I notice that there are a lot of folks that are feeling this way.  That is wny I am so thankful for this group... makes me feel more normal.  I think that I am going to add a protien drink back into my routine again... I noticed that they make me feel full a bit longer, so maybe it will help get me back through this hump.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  I have 21 pounds to go until I hit my goal, and since I am almost at the 12 month mark, the clock is TICKING!!!

Girlie.. you are doing we'll... just realize that there is no mysterious ticking clock.. everyone loses there weight at a different speed.. your body is just taking a minute to catch-up that's all... YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING IT HARD!!..LOL!!... I stayed on a stall for about 2 1/2 months with a few lbs here and there.. then the weight started to drop again .. this week... but during the stall.. I dropped another size.. so check your measurements.. and if you up your protein.. it will help.. try straight protein.. less carbs sometimes that works..

PEACE & LUV

You are so right, because when I did my protien yesterday and today, I have already lost almost a pound and a half.  Man, those carbs find the craziest ways to sneak back into our meals, don't they?  Makes me sooo mad!

How crazy we started at the same weight and have the same goal weight. Im about 17 pounds from goal and my body hates me. Im usually hungry all of the time. Just ordered some protien shakes to get some good calories in my body. Im going to try to up my protien. Ive been slacking in that dept. We will see what happens..

I knew this would happen when summer came.  I just knew that if I had the whole summer off I would lay around and eat everything I could.  I am  so happy with myself that I continue to exercise every other day with the couch to 5K program.  At the VERY least I am doing something right.

Luckily I signed up for a course that starts next week.  I'm hoping that getting out and having something to do and somewhere to go will get me away from the food.  But I am just a little mad at myself.  Why is it so hard to make the right choices?

And I continue to be terrified that I will indeed eat my way back up to 256.  What will it take for me to change those habits?  Dr. Phil says you have to replace the bad habit with a good one.  I think I'll put that in my bowl and mull it around for a while til I come up with a solution - like a new habit I can keep!
