Idiot Box...NOW I know why I call it "Idiot Box."
It is stuck, I am stuck. But then, "Lo and Behold" (It is coming up to Christmas, Solstice, Hannukah, Kwaanza...) I realized the pattern!
Yes, I saw the weight graph pattern. It trends downward but every few weeks it repeats, I get stuck, I record the same weight for a while, the cycle has to reset itself or something.
So, perhaps the lull is the "norm" for me, but I hate it.
Idiot Box...NOW I know why I call it "Idiot Box."
My mantra: Low fat, low carb, high protein...Low fat, low carb, high protein...Low fat, low carb, high protein...
Still grateful for:
- The people I love who love me back!
- The good health of my loved ones
- My FS Buddies who support and encourage me to continue
- "Butt-kicking" myself to a smaller size today

The box sucks is right. I remember when losing 10 lbs. a month was the norm for me. Well as long as it is going downward we are okay!

Hahah ya. I can look at my graph and see why it shot up... thanksgiving, xmas, new years, girlfriend, surgery recovery, weekend, etc! My m.o. is that I'm good during the week and party on the weekends. The graph shows it :D Goota love how the idiot box shows trends!

Better it be stuck than on its way up! Hang in there. Remember: patience - patience - patience.

The stalls.... frustrating but also the story of my life right now lol. As long as it's like a reset and goes down after than no problem! It gets so much harder when you lose to lose more!

Doctors, scientist, nutritionists, and the nobodies who just want to get rich off a new idea - if none of them have been able to decipher the code to weight management then there's really no sense in beating ourselves up when we can't figure it out, either. The more I learn, the less I know. We just have to take it one day at a time, keep trying different tactics, stay active, eat healthy and watch our portions. It's tough but we're tougher!

Being stuck is waaayyy better than gaining. You are so determined that I know you will get to your goal weight before you know it. Hang in there!

And I thought I was the only one who called the scale a bad name. I call my Sunbeam scale Sum.....thing... that sounds like itch... are you measuring? Maybe you're gaining muscle?

HCB you will persevere and overcome. I am in the exact same boat. God willing, I won't overeat tonight, and I will have strung 3 days together of responsible eating. I so hope to lose at least 3 pounds in December, that would be lovely. We'll beat this!

I would love to ring in the new year with that first number on the scale a 1...instead of a 2, but realistically, if it's a 2-0 something, i'll be happy, instead of 2-1-something...trying to get back into the swing of things, which I know with the holidays here will be interesting, but WE WILL DO THIS!!! hang in there friend! ho ho ho...hmmm lol

I believe it is just a re-set time. Your body is re-adjusting to the new slimmer you. Once all that settles the idiot box will continue to click downwards.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Have a great day! :D
