Slow day on the board...

So I'm going to whine for just a moment. I haven't lost anything in a week. In fact...I'm up 4 pounds from a week and a half ago. Aunt Flo will be here shortly, and I'm sure I could blame her, but it's still slightly upsetting. I'm a slow loser to begin with and was very worried that after 6 months I wouldn't lose anymore, and even though rationally, I know this is not the end, I'm still freaking out a bit. Ok kids...sorry, and thanks! Aileen 323/219/150ish

My body did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, and it took 2 weeks for the scale to start moving again, but when it did, it has been really going down. You've already lost over 100 lbs. You're doing great! Hang in there. Karla 337/223/150

I can identify with you, but I don't have aunt Flo to blame. It is just one of those dreaded stalls. I have done the up and down a five pound range for right at a month, but I guess I am lucky, this is really the first stall I have had. It is just so disgusting because I am only about ten pounds from goal. Hazel

Hugs to you ((((((aileen)))))) I seriously hate stalls. They make me agonize, question my habbits, blame myself, etc. When in reality what I need to do is learn to be patient! But, it can be upsetting... but you have come so far! Focus on how well the surgery has worked so far and how hard you have worked so far. You know its not over, you know you will continue to lose. Hang in their hun, according to many the weight loss can extend till at least 18 months post op. No need to freak out yet. Take Care, Mary

You're not alone Aileen. I'm in the 3rd week of a stall myself. I know how frustrating it is. I just have to keep on keeping on and hope it will break soon. If not, I will try that Plateau Buster Diet for a week and see it gets me moving again Regards and hugs, Ronna
