this is awsome!

After months of not losing and being bummed out, I though I was done for sure. I have lost 9 lbs in the last 3 weeks!!!! I don't have a clue what I'm doing different. Mayhaps my body just needed a long rest. I don't know, but after only losing a pound here and there for months now this is a real trip for me. I eat anywhere from 900 to 1500 calories a day. Around 140 complex carbs. I've been on the high side for fats lately, about 45 a day. And anywhere from 50 to 75 protein. I eat whenever I'm hungery, my snacks are almost always fruit. If I'm in the mood for sweet I have egg custard or a couple cookies made with splenda and no flour. Once in a great while I let myself have 2-3 Hershey's kisses. My BMI is 29.6 YES!!! JUST OVERWEIGHT !!!!! no longer obese!! One slow loser, Brokenwing 267.5/162/140-135

Hi, Brokenwing, I also was in a funk, and even quit going to support groups as folks were losing and I was the same. I didn't have 100 pounds to lose, I had a heart problem, but I still wanted to move faster. For 4 months I stayed the same, and then all of a sudden, it started to fall off and now its moving. I hope to get PS in about 5 more months and I shoud be set. You are not the only slow loser, I still feel folks did better. The Dr told me the bigger the faster you lose, and becaause I was solid and not that obese, it would be a slower process. They say don't compare, but come on now, we do and thats what we go by, at least for me. You are not alone, I am slow as well, but it's happening and thats the most important thing. BlkNectar

Hello BlkNectar, Thank you for the reply. Glad to hear I'm not the only one that got this happy surprise. It was 4 months for me also, no pounds or inches lost. I'm hoping for PS next summer. I'd like to lose at least another 20-25 pounds before then. But if not I am still a lot better off than 14 months ago. Best fo luck with your PS. Please let me know how it goes. Brokenwing

CONGRATS to you! That is awesome! Sometimes, that happens to me too. I wont be doing a single thing differently, then I will lose a few pounds just out of the clear blue. ....amazing how that happens! Susan

Congrats!!!! I have been bouncing from 198 to 201 for the past month and I cant stand it. I hope my will finish resting so I can lose this last 25lbs.You are doing great.

don't you just hate the bounce thing? It was really getting me down. I'd drop a pound or two and the next weigh in I'd be right back up there. It's like my body just cann't make up its mind. To be slim or not to be slim? Thats the question and my body doesn't want to give up the answer. Guess its a secret right up till the end Brokenwing

Thanks!

I wonder what would happen if I did make a change now that I'm loosing again. Knowing my luck I'd probably hit another plateau, Brokenwing

Oh dear ... I would hope not! But you never know with the way things are going ...... LOL ...... Have a great holiday season!
