Month 4 so much better

My 4th month is going soooo much better than my third month. I was fighting stalls almost all month in the 3rd month. I did manage to loose 12 lbs...but it was a struggle and I was disappointed to see my loss slowing that dramatically (I'd lost 20 in month 2). BUT......Month 4 is going great. I still have 10 days till my 4 mo. anniversary and I have already lost 11 lbs. this month with considerably less "stall time." I'd set my goal for month 4 to loose another 12, thinking I wouldn't loose any more than I did in month 3 but I hope/ expect to pass that goal now. I wanted to be at -70 but now I'm thinking it is possible that I might even make -75 total on my 4 mo. anniversary. Of course, I was sick in month 3 and missed about 1/2 the days of exercising (walking) but have made most of them this month. The only problem is that now that I'm loosing quicker again, my monthly cycle is "acting up" again....there is lots of info that the estrogen dumping into the system from the fat loss triggers menstral probs...oh well. Since I'm anemic (though feel completely fine), I will just make sure I get my iron. I thought this might give some encouragement to some of the folks that have hit stalls.....it can get better!

Congrats Jenni! That is awesome.....you are doing so great! I know I get frustrated with those darn stalls too...makes me want to throw my scale out the window....then one day you get on it and, wow, 2-3 pounds gone! Keep plugging away! Cherie

Congratulations! I was wondering how you were doing and from the sounds of it you are doing great. You should be proud of yourself. I can hardly wait until the numbers on my scale are going down instead of up. I finally got my referrals from my PCP for the consultation with Dr. Steward and my psych eval. I have my consultation on the 21st and am so excited. After that I can start to worry about getting insurance approval. Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration! Joan B.

Jenni...you are doing sooo GREAT!!!!! Keep it up sweetie!!!! BIG HUGS Deanna K
