Frustrated!

 I have hit another stall!  I hate stalls.  I've been stuck for two weeks.  Grrr...I so wanted to meet my challenge of 100 lbs lost by my b-day, but that didn't happen.  I'm soooo close though. Just wish I could cross over that threshold.

Kendra, When I saw your subject, I thought you were having another health related problem again. I was so relieved to find out it was a stall. See, things could be worse!!! Those who have been there before you know you can do it. We who are yet to go, are still in awe of all you have been through. Thanks for you courage and for sharing your experiences with us. Jayne

Oh thank you for your concern, although my baby girl has been throwing up and diarrea since yesterday.  I hope I don't get it.  Hopefully it stays w/just her and doesn't go through my whole family.  Poor thing, she keeps putting herself to bed (which is probably the best thing for her too).  She's just 2 yrs old and I hate seeing her go through this. Oh I know things could be worse, but it is frustrating nonetheless.

Kendra- I'm also glad to hear you aren't sick AGAIN!  I do hope your daughter feels better! How is the water going?  I know you have admitted to having trouble getting it in with work and all...The extra water can only help with everything, including keeping the digestive tract happy and healthy!   I used to leave messages on my scale.."the scale is my friend"...You could try that one! lol

Hi Jen, No I'm not sick again, but with my luck I'll end up sick.  I catch everything that comes through the house! The water isn't going so well.  I wish I could drin****d tea in it's place, but it's not caffiene free.  I love diet arizona green tea...wish they had a decaffinated one.  Well....they do, but they're redesigning the packaging so it's not on the shelves right now (yea...I contacted Arizona). So I'm struggling right now and need to get back on track.  I haven't been going to the gym as much as I would like, but it's not because of my doing.  My husband's schedule has changed for the next month so it only allows me to go once a week.  I don't have anyone else to watch the brood. I know I'll get through this...it's just like I said...Frustrating! Thanks so much!

Kendra, Have you tried just getting green tea - either bags or the loose leaves and making the tea yourself and keeping it in the refrigerator? Figure out how much sweetener you need. It will be Kendra's Custom Celestial Tea. Jayne

Jayne, No I haven't.  Good idea though!  My secret pal sent me a bunch of tea's this past month.  I should give that a try. Thanks for the idea.

unfortunately stalls happen and there is NOTHING we can do about them (provided you are doing what you are supposed to be doing) I know this doesnt make you feel any better, but  It will pass.

When I was 9 months out I hit a stall that lasted 8 weeks.  I thought I was done losing at that point since my stall lasted for so long.  I found if I changed my food around and exercise a bit the weightloss picked up again.  After the 8 weeks the weightloss picked up again but at a much slower rate.  Try to change things around a bit it may just get the weightloss going again.  Good Luck! 

Hi K, I used to have that same problem.  I nearly met my goal at 6 months (missed it by 3 days). As you know, they just sorta pass.  Stay active and keep the protein and liquids going. Then one morning, you'll jump on the scale and ta ta!  You're there. You look great! Christian
