 Well, I went from fluctuating between 205-208 for a month to going down to 201 and back up to 204 today. I'm going to take a 2 week break from the scale and see what happens. There's no way to gain 3 lbs overnight so I think it's just a case of weird things happening in my body. lol. I've definitely lost inches. I was in a tight 18 a month ago and have now dropped to a loose fitting 16.  I haven't taken measurements in close to 2 months. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks!

 I'm so glad to see others about the same time out as me experiencing these stalls. I'm a little frustrated because I'm only 30 pounds away from my goal and have started losing about 1 pound/week in the past 2 weeks. It's annoying as hell!

I've gone from a size 22 to a size 8 in 4 months, so I should be happy with that, but dangit, losing momentum really bums me out. I saw a "MILF" mama at my kid's spring fling at school and it's killing me that I'm not to that status. I want a tummy tuck and boob job so bad right now. 

I guess in this world of immediate gratification, it's hard to see things take place slowly. Food used to be that instant gratification. Now it's just shopping for smaller sizes and watching that scale. I've got t stay off the scale for a while, up my protein and water and keep myself going to the gym. I sware, the more I work out, the less I lose, but I know the exercise is going to do wonders for me, so I'm keeping it up.

Let's all let out a big yell in frustration and hopefully this stalling will all be over soon!! Hang in there my fellow Decembers.... we're so going to blow the roof off this weight loss mutha!

I've hit a few stalls that have lasted 3-4 weeks and it's absolutely maddening!  Last month I only lost 6 pounds and I almost started crying at the doctor's office.  I know 6 pounds is nothing to sneeze at, but when I'd been averaging about 15-20 pounds a month it's a little disheartening.  I tend to weigh myself more often when I'm stalled out too...which does not help at all!
