I Know...But How????

Okay, 2 weeks ago my scale said 190.6. I can hardly eat anything & have been exercising (not as much as I need to, but some) drinking as much as I can tolerate, protein, etc. & my scale is at 194.3 & has been for 2 weeks. My hubby said that my body is just freaking, thinking it's starving to death, so it's holding on to every ounce I put into it. I know he's probably right, but man is it frustrating!!! I guess I just need to hear that others are going through the same types of stuff. I know I am still losing inches, because my clothes fit so differently. But, dang I wish the scales would move!!!!! I could drive myself over this!!! Thanks for the support! Hugz, Gina L 260/194/160 26W/16/18

Gina, My scale sat at 181 for three weeks without moving. It was nearly driving me nuts. I tried eating more protein. I tried drinking more fluids. I tried lots of things, but the blinkin' scale wouldn't move. My husband got so annoyed at me for being upset about the scale not moving, that he put the thing in the garage. He didn't tell me where he put it, either. Now, I only weigh myself once a week, every Saturday morning right after I wake up and use the bathroom. There's always a reduction now. I was so obsessed by the scale that I was going No more. Even if there's a scale where I'm visiting or working or whatever, I don't weigh myself on it. The scale will move. I promise. It's just that it won't move while you're watching it (lot the pot that never boils). Hugs, Cheryl 240/165/140 20W/12/8?

Thanks Cheryl! I try to weigh once a week myself. It's just so hard to belive that I can actually gain weight when I hardly eat anything! Hugz, Gina

Gina, is it possible you are consuming too few calories, and your body is so starved, it's hanging on to everything? Talk with your nutritionist, but most of us need 1000 - 1200 calories a day to stay healthy and still lose weight. If you eat too little, maybe it is having an adverse effect. Good luck!! Sheryl

Very possible Sheryl. Some days I doubt I can get in 500 calories let alone a 1000!!! I pushed it with food last night & I couldn't breathe for an hour, was nauseated & fought throwing up worse than I ever have before for over an hour til it passed. I know that one day the ability to eat more will be here & harder to work the tool then, but now I am forcing myself to eat! Thanks, Gina

My scale sat at 278 for 18 GRUELING days and then it dropped 2 lbs a week ago and this past weekend it dropped another 4 lbs! So, this will pass for you too. Apparently it's a stage we're all going through right now were our bodies have to adjust. Hang in there!! HUGS, Vi

I was on a stall for almost 3 weeks, Then over the corse of 5 days I gained 3 lb then lost 7 lb. It was crazy. Now I am on another stall. Darn!! Deb 392/308/225
