Finally broke the cycle!

I FINALLY got under 180 today! I've been waiting for the scale to move in that direction for 2 weeks now! It's been fluctuating between 181.5 and 184 ARGH!!! Well, this morning I weighed and it finally said 179!! Probably won't last, but I'm counting it! HUGS Kimberly

YES!!! Congratulations!!!!! Now it will start moving again!!! Smoochies Arlies

Thanks Arlies - hopefully I'll see it move again soon. Good news is I got on the scale this morning - just to see, and it STILL said 179!!! WOOHOO!!! HUGS Your scale obsessed friend

Well, when you're right - you're right! You are the queen! I got up this morning and it said 177.5!!!!!!!!! It's moving It's moving!!!! Maybe I'll hit the 60 pound mark this week! WOOHOO!!! HUGS K

Just remember... Everyone experiences plateaus periodically. This is your body adjusting to your level of intake and output. Don't be surprised to see it again. However, most of the time when you reach a plateau in weight loss, you should still be losing inches. Don't weigh everyday. Pick a day of the week and weigh on that day each week. This gives you a better feel of where you are. Whether a person has surgery or not, his/her weight changes everyday.

Adam, Thanks for the encouragement. I am DEFINATELY scale obsessed! I can't break the habit. Seems I've replaced one bad habit with another! LOL I was expecting the plateau - and took it in stride - but boy does it feel GREAT to see the scale moving again! You are right about the inches. Even though I was at a "stall", I was getting into smaller clothes the entire time. So I definately lost a few inches over the past 2 weeks. YIPEE! I'll be in the office on Wednesday, will y'all be at the new place yet? Think I read it was moved back again. So - where - Hospital? or New Office? THANKS! Kimberly

I mean Thursday of course! See ya then.

Terrific!! Get your protein and water. Inches do count too. I have stayed with in the same 5 pounds for a while but was able to wear smaller clothes. Keep on losing!! glenda

Thanks Glenda! I think the walks are helping too. My legs beg to differ though! LOL They are screaming at me tonite! LOL HUGS Kimberly

That is great. Don't get too discouraged when they stand still awhile. They will eventaully move. Becky
