Total Weight Loss - 66.8 lbs

I am truly one of those "stair-step" losers.  I went back for my 6 month appt about 1 1/2 weeks ago...and I got 'The Look'.  You know that look.  It's the look you get when someone is disappointed in you.  The staff member at the surgeon's office weighed me at 187...down only 7lbs from the last time I was in there (for my 3 month appt).  I did point out that my 3 month appointment was basically a 4 month appointment because of rescheduling due to the Thanksgiving holidays, etc.  So...I only dropped 7lbs in 2 months. 

And, had had basically been recycling the same set of pounds, over and over.  It's really disheartening...extremely frustrating...and you feel like a failure. 

I ramped up my physical activity - - 30 Day Shred, Couch to 5k and have been really diligent about my food choices....and it was still not coming off.  Then....suddenly...it does.  I have upped my carbs a tiny bit (adding an additional 20g or so per day) and have allowed myself around 100 additional calories.  Maybe that tipped the scales in my favor...maybe the timing was purely coincidental.

Sometimes I think my body just likes to screw with me.  I've dropped 3lbs in the last four days....and I am 1.3 lbs away from my next interim goal - - falling out of the 'Obese' category -  and finding myself simply 'Overweight'. 
I may cry VERY hard when that happens.
