I'm frustrated about the scale not going down, but feel encouraged with some new information/suggestions that may help me get over this bump. I've been thinking alot about this weight range and realized that my body has never allowed me to get below this point in the past either...it must feel really comfy here. When I had gastric surgery 10 years ago, this was where I stopped losing too! I then got married and started having babies..after each child, I would lose the prego weight...back to this same weight range and not go below it...even thinking way back to high school and college it was the same...I'm needing to "trick" my body..my metabolism...
I have been getting lots of compliments at church and from my husband about how I "look"...I read an article way back about how fat cells can be stubborn, lose the fat inside them but will take on water which is heavier to try and keep it's shape..and that this water can stay in the cells for several months and may make it appear that you haven't lost weight when in truth you have...maybe this is what's going on! On this road I will continue to walk down...at least I know I'm making a huge effort in being healthier and feel mentally better for it!

I had an almost 5 week stall at a weight that my body felt comfortable at. I call these set points, and I am sure that there will be several more along the rest of my journey. The first 50 pounds came off so easily, but that is because I had never been that heavy before, and my body wasn't used to being those weights. When I got down to 210, different story....took me almost 3 months to lose that 10 pounds, then came the stall at 194...I was there for almost 5 weeks. I just kept doing what I was doing and eventually my body cried UNCLE, and the weight loss started again. I am now at 189, and while the losses are slower, they are coming and that is what matters. This isn't a race, there is no finish line (well, there is, but that line leads to God's mansion), so it really doesn't matter how long it takes, it just matters that I keep getting healthier. Keep going, the weight will come off. I am sending you a buddy request, I hope you will accept and if I can help in any way, please let me know.

Thank you for the encouragement and the buddy request..just accepted it! Great job on your weight loss so far!!!! I look forward to any suggestions you have during this rough bump...I've cut out MIM's this week and haven't had a A-bar either...going to shoot for 20-25 total carbs, more water (been drinking 64-100oz) but will try to get 112oz...see if I can get this scale moving again...

Your plan sounds great. I do total carbs, less than 20 a day, and I am happy. I am never hungry, my energy levels are off the chart (someone asked my hubby about it at the chili cook off Sunday, stating that they didn't know how I do it since I am no spring chicken anymore, lol), and I feel fantastic! Just hang in there, it will happen!
