ARGH... STALLLLLLLlllll

Ok Im in a Stall, or Plateau (Sp) what ever it is IT SUCKS!!!... I know my body is catching up but By golly Gee Wiz I'm like Totally Spoiled and I don't want it to slow down (Stomping my feet like a two year old). With all that Said is anyone else In a virtual Stand still? I ask because I compare myself to by Buddies in Arms here at the December Board.. I started at 286.5 and am now at 232.0 I know I know 54.5 WOW alot but I WANT MORE!!! (teehee) Ok so I was just wondering if anyone else i****ting the brick wall called Plateauism (sp again I really must get a dictionary). Love ya ALL (((HUGS))) Dori

Dori, I just wanted to let you know that I have also gone through the stall phase. Mine happens all the time. Its like nothing will change for days, then when it does my weight normally changes about two to three pounds. Keep doing what you are doing and remember that its normal it hit stalls. I also have found that when I am not loosing pounds I am loosing inches. Best of luck to you in your journey. Melissa

I think maybe its like my momma always told me a watched pot never boils.. So Im going to try to stay away from the scale.. I had my hubby hide it from me... We will see if it works and takes my mind off of it. Thank you so much (((HUGS))) Dori

You don't need a dictionary. We know VERY WELL what you are talking about. I have been in a stall since I have been dealing with this boil. I had a stall once before and when it left it left. That time I went to two protein drinks a day and even more protein. I have been off the sugar fill meds two days now and I saw one pound gone this morning. So I hope I get to moving again. The medicine let me know in a nice way SUGAR is a big no no. 5'6" 315 day of surgery 279 233.

Im going to do better I promise... I hope anyway Im staying away from the scale!!!. HA Ha I hope... Thank you so much (((HUGS))) Dori

Yes Dori, the stalls are the pits!!! I have lost four pounds in the last four weeks.... I want ACTION ACTION ACTION! LOL Vicky

haha, Yep isnt it true... I want to see the weight just fall off.. I mean It took me 12 years to put it on and I want to wake up and have it gone.... Strange huh? Thank you so much for the encouragment (((HUGS))) Dori

I think it is normal to slow down. I blame it on the fact that I don't drink enough water sometimes or do enough exercise. Anyway, just be patient. Remember we haven't ever lost this much weight before so quickly! The body wants to hold on to everything because it thinks we are starving it! -Diana before surgery: 291 at surgery date: 281 10 weeks out: 232 Total pounds lost: 59 Yippee!

Thank you so much for the encouragment, Im not sure what I would do If I didnt have all of my Dec board members... (((HUGS))) Dori

I read about it all the time so I try to tell myself it will pass and the first stall wasent that bad because I could feel the difference in my clothes but this time it like.. What's going on... my clothes are fitting the same... my stats are 290 day of surgery... 300 day I came home pumped full of fluids now I'm 242.. loss of 48 lbs or 58 which ever... Hadnt been under 250 pounds in 25 years cant wait until I get under 240...
