How do you know?
How do you know when you've really reached a plateau? I've been floating around the same weight for nearly 3 weeks. This is the longest my body has stayed at the same weight for this long since I've been on my diet. I've lost 40 pounds. I haven't been this size since 6+ years ago. I have a feeling that my body is just putting on the breaks because I'm at a point where my body is Really changing for the better health wise. Should I just accept that gut feeling of what's happening here, and stay the course?
I've hung at one weight for 6 weeks or so before seeing the scale move again. It's enough to make one crazed but when I know that everything I'm doing is spot on and I'm not taking in too many calories for my current weight, then I know it's a stall and I should just keep on doing the do. I believe our bodies have a "memory". When I hit a weight I was at for a long time previously, all bets are off for a while. My weight will hang there until my body figures out I don't want to be there! LOL This happened to me at 265 and at 225. Lori
You phrased my thoughts about hitting a wall Exactly! I just keep telling myself that my fat cells are freaking out and don't want to budge... not a pound more! Well, I'm sticking to the plan and this body will get smaller eventually! Thank you Lori a million times. It's such a comfort to know you and others on here have gone through the same thing. Now I'm off to remind body memory of life at 180 pounds.
