Doubting I'll ever lose another pound...

I've been stuck for like 3 weeks now at 212 (6 pounds shy of 100 lost). I step on the scale everyday, sometimes 2 or 3 times and I know I shouldn't do that. Maybe I'll have my partner hide the scale but once a week or so. I know I'm not eating enough. I'm not hungry. I have recently added protein supplements again. I remember thinking, if I could just lose 100 pounds I'd be so happy, but instead, I'm depressed again. I don't get near enough fluid in a day, thus the constipation and dizziness. Maybe I should keep a food diary again. I need motivation. My partner and I are planning to go travel nursing again, hopefully Vermont. I gotta get outta here. I never thought I would be the kind of person to ever need support.

Tammy, Hang in there girl! Increase that protein and increase tha****er! You have to force it. If you aren't getting enough calories or the water and protein your body needs - you won't lose anything. You can do it - you've come too far to give up now! Hugs, Candy

STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP I was stuck on 211 for almost three weeks before my scale moved again and then POOF!! I dropped down to 205lbs I don't eat much to start with and drink much due to my job and now I'm working two jobs so I'm eating less and drinking less which is not healthy but what is a woman to do Donna 338/204 -134

Hi Tammy; Girl what is wrong with you? In just a little over 6 months you have lost 93 lbs. I had surgery the same day as you and I have only lost 92 lbs. The only difference in us is you are having a late plateau where I have had them all along one which lasted 7 weeks. If You are having trouble getting all of your protein in try salmon as it gives you the most bang for the amount you eat. Also if you are trying to lay off the food in order to get started losing again you are heading in the wrong direction. I know because I tried it when I was on that 7 week one and till I started to stuff my self and make me eat 100 to 120 grams of protein a day and then I went out of starvation mode and started losing again. I told everyone that this was the first time in my life I ever had to over eat in order to lose weight. LOL Your body is having to catch up and as I know first hand even though you think it is something you are doing wrong it is not. So take heart you will start losing again, so relax and enjoy the ride. Remember there will be these breaks for your body but don't be discouraged as you will begin again. Hope this helps.
