Good Morning LW Friends...

Good Morning LW Friends...

I am struggling with my emotions in the day to day hustle leading up to Christmas...and my weight has stalled...Im walking and exercising but my scale not moving downward...I am 10 months out and have lost over 100 lbs...have another 10 lbs to go to goal....it just isnt budging!!! I log my protein, food and fluids...all seems in order!! I know you vets have heard this all before and have given encouragement and advice...thanks for that...just think I might be dealing with some Christmas depression and the wrath of my scale...Thanks everyone for letting me vent...Merry Christmas to All and Thank you for your valuable posts and advice this past year...

Congrats on your Weight Loss!!!   You need a signature Gold Apple for those 100 lbs.!!!!

Sorry you are feeling down!  I'd say that you body is just resting. A 100 ppoud loss is something awesome to celebrate so don't worry so much about the last 10.  If your body feels you aren't at goal yet it will come off eventually if you stay on Program.  When I was working on my last 10 I added in a couple more Protein drinks and lowered my carb intake.

Thanks Roz for your message...Yes I do need that Gold Apple...its been a struggle but I am proud I did it!!!  I dont know if this is a seasonal depression cuz I normally dont have issues with feeling down...I think you are right about my body resting...Ive done alot of changes in the past ten months...I am so grateful!!  I appreciate your imput and Happy Holidays Roz!!!

Wow 100 pounds in 10 months is great!!  Congratulations.

I bet your body just needs a break and is resting now.  You might want to change things up a little - add something good to your food and get your calories up a little and then drop back down(not bad carbs or sugar).

It is a very emotional journey.  Hope you have a great Christmas and holiday season.

Hi Linda...I want to thank you for your advice...I think you are right too...I will get my calories up a bit and drop the carbs too...see if that helps....Have a wonderful holiday too..

All I can do is agree with Roz and Linda. Hang in there - once the stress is over and your body has gotten its rest, then you can think about those 10 pounds. Right now, think about the awesome present you've given yourself by being able to do so much more than you could a year ago.

Hi paranoidmother...I agree with Roz and Linda too...and I will take time to reflect on how far Ive come in the last 10 months without feeling the stress of the scale...thanks for your message!!

100lbs is wonderful.  Don't get discouraged.  I really slowed down at 5 months until I raised my protein to over 100g and lowered my carbs to around 30.  Then it picked back up and I ended up lower than I ever dreamed possible.  I think you just keep on keeping on and let it happen.

If you have any questions about your diet, you may want to post on Miles and Menus and see if the veterans have any input.

Hi Price....I will try to raise my protein too and lower the carbs!!  I slowed down around 6 month mark..Thanks for your encouragement and imput...I hope you are doing well with the knee...Happy Holidays to you!!!

I'm just over 10 months out too and have been stuck pretty much in the same place since Sept. I'm about 10-15 lbs over where I wanted to be but still at a good weight so if this is where I land, I land.

Follow Price's suggestion but don't get hung up on a number...yet...you are still in your honeymoon period.
