Stall........

Ok, so I have been very depressed lately (ask Dawn). I have finally hit the dreaded stall. On May 9 (my 4 months) I was 220. Today I am 219.6..........talk about a kick in the gut. I have really picked up on my exercise this month tho. But as hard as it is to imagine, there is a bright spot to all this. I do take my measurements every month on the 8th. Although Im not loosing any weight I am loosing inches. Since May 8th I have lost 2 inches off my waist, 1/4 off my upper arms, 1 inch off my chest, 1 off my hips, 1 1/4 off my thighs. So ladies.......take those measurements. Even tho you may not loose weight you are still loosing inches. I miss you guys, kristi

Oh Kristi, I'm sorry you've hit your stall, but the loss in your inches is completely awesome!!! I can't wait to measure on the 6th!

Hey Kristi It's good to see ya. I'm sorry about your stall. I think we have all experianced this or will experiance it in this journey. Continue to exercise and follow your doctors orders and it will start to fall off again. The inches you have lost is amazing! Keep up the good work. You have done a great job so far. I know this gets hard at times but keep the faith. Kay

Thanks Kay, I guess I just needed to put it out there and see what everyone else thought. I miss ya girl......... kristi

I stall all the time. Just when I think I might be able to loose more than 10lbs in a month, bam!, it hits and there I sit for a week or 3. At the end of the month, down 10lbs, as usual. So I am trying not to get excited about that anymore. The inches is real cool. I seem to be slowing down on the inches lost thing. I have gone down so much, 10 inches just in my waist. I am wearing pants that were on the tight side 2 weeks ago, they are now loose, have to keep pulling them up. So that is what I look to now. Your pic on your posts are so pretty. You look so thin in them and beautiful.

Thanks sweetie. I think you are doing amazing as well. WOW....10 inches is alot. Keep it up. kristi

Keep your chin up!! Things will get back to normal and the weight will start dropping off again. (telling myself the same thing) LOL. I was watching Tyra last week and they had a weight loss show on ...The Dr. said something that made a lot of sense to me! (believe it or not) It's basically what you said in your post. The scale will LIE but your CLOTHES won't!!!! You know your still losing when your clothes are getting bigger. Keep up the great work! Anna

Arg Kristi!!! Give me a call so we can b**ch together!!! Dawn

Don't worry your body is just settleing into it's new weight. Keep up the good work. Hazel

Its good to see you, hope the summer life is going well! I think stalls are a fact of the process. As we've all said, the body needs to adjus****er weight, TOM, yada, yada, ya. You've been a BIG LOSER so far so I'll concur that its just taking some time to balance out and get ready for the next big drop. But we feel your pain, nevertheless, and are here to hear your woes. Knowing that this is part of the process and living thru it are two different things. HUGS, Tiffany
