Back from Dr. (Re: Stall)

So, I went to the doctor today about my month long stall. He basically said that I was doing everything right and that he ran extensive PreOp tests that showed no abnormalities, so he HIGHLY doubts that there is something physically wrong with me. He did aknowledge that a month is a loooooooooong stall but said that since my weight loss was so rapid in the first month (I averaged about a pound a day) that this is not that big of a surprise. So, guess I just have to be patient and the stall will pass... which is GOOD news, considering how many other things it could have been. I have to follow up with him by phone in 2 weeks and if the scale still hasn't moved he said he would write a paper and submitt it to the New England Journal of medicine because it will be such a rare occurance

(he was joking of course). So, for all those who platuae- just tough it out, so long as your water, protein, and excercise is in you just have to wait.

Keep on going! That is the key... so when/if you stall just remember that it is qutie impossible to consume so few calories daily and NOT lose weight. Eventually it will come off. And

if you lose slow maybe there wont be as much excess skin in the end? Heres to hoping!
