If it went away after you stayed still for a while, it was orthostatic hypotension, blood was circulating only to the top two thirds of your body (due to kneeling, crouching) then it rushed to your entire body when you stood up resulting in dizziness. When we lose wt our blood pressure usually goes down, so when we do things like this it takes it down even further, causing the dizziness, if we were prone to high blood pressure, we may or may not notice it at all, but with a lower blood pressure you notice. Frequent stand up breaks will take care of it as well as proper hydration and rising slowly after crouching for long periods of time. If it didn't go away after you steadied yourself than it was probably your blood sugar. Just like diabetics, because we eat so little, we should have a couple bites of food or a protein drink when we are doing a lot of activity. You know how we can get lost into doing something and forget to eat/drink. Hope this helps, and it is not too long, it is the nurse in me I guess.

Hi Angel, Thanks for your kind words. You are doing great too! The plateau will end and you will lose again! I am wondering how tall you are - we both started around the same weight and have a similar goal weight - I am 5'2" although some say I am 5'1" but I DONT!! LOL I need that inch! hehe. God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Thanks Debbie - dont worry about those plateaus - it seems I hit one once a month for a week and I think "well, that is all I will lose, but I have to be thankfull for even this" and then it starts coming off. Just do what you know you should be doing and dont worry about it - it will start coming off again! You will reach your goal before you know it! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea
