Can you please help a newbie with your experiences???

Welcome to our friendly group.

Instead of going nuts with the scale every day, take your measurements and measure each month.

It seemed that months my weight didn't move, the tape measure showed results. Not too long ago, I tossed the scale in the tra**** was driving me insane.

As Karen said, don't cut back on protein or your weight loss will slow. That's a new concept isn't it?

Stick to your eating plan and results will come. Probably not fast enough, nobody ever feels it is fast enough. But you will succeed. We'll help.

You are doing great!  Be sure to take all of your measurements too.  A lot of times when the scale isn't moving you are still losing inches.  It will amaze you.  I am 2 1/2 years out and lost a total of 194 lbs.  You will be there before you know it.  Welcome to the group.

Thank you all so much for the warm support and help while I struggle with this stall....at least this morning I was back down a llittle, so I am hoping to have some great news to report tomorrow...this will be the MOST important lb I loose before I get to 199 which will be the "I will be dancing on the ceiling" post!!! :)

Only 6 more lbs to go to my "ONDERLAND" post!!!  That is HUGE, not only 1/2 way to goal, but also ONDERLAND....(which I am ashamed to say I have not seen in about 15 yrs).
