The scale finally moved!
I just went through a 45 day stall. I played by the rules and I didn't fret too much the first few weeks, but it sure gets boring when nothing really happens. Then, finally, today the scale moved! In the mean time I went down another clothing size.
So....don't panic when you slow down. Just keep going!
Some of my stalls have lasted so long that I quit counting the days; however, for no apparent reason the scale always starts moving downward again. If you stick to your plan, you WILL make progress . . . just don't fret too much when the scale isn't moving like you want it to. It's a lifestyle . . . . no sprinting for me . . . . just everyday trying to make healthy choices. Feeling great!
I've had to resort to meditation to keep me from going postal when the number on the scale doesn't move enough to keep me happy. In my rational mind, I realize that my body can't hold onto this weight forever considering what I'm feeding it. But damn, it's so annoying.
Today I fit into a smaller size pair of jeans so I know the fat is going SOMEWHERE in the universe and not clinging to my fat ass forever.
Congrats Beth! Thanks for reminding me that IT WILL HAPPEN. Maybe I need a mantra.

Hip Hip Hooray! You stuck with it & it's paying off. I needed to remind myself too sometimes when the scale doesn't move. Keep on going, just keep on going, yeah that could be my new mantra.
