Topic: RE: Do you have a weight loss pattern?
That also seems to be the same as me. The only difference in me is that I seem to stall for about a 2-3 week stretch then all the sudden I'll have like a 4-6 pound loss within just a couple days. It is kind of a teaser for me though....but I always know that after that week is up I am looking at another 2-3 week stretch of stalling
. I just keep doing what it is I am doing and I know things will happen.

I have lost a total of 63 pounds. I have been stuck on 175 for the past 3 weeks. I know I haven't been getting in my fluids and or my protein. I work really odd shifts and thats what I blame my fluid intake problem on but I really need to force myself to do better. I also find that the more h2o I drink, the better I lose. I use to get down when I would reach this sort of stall, but I just came to the realization that as long as I don't see that scale go UP...I am happy!
Could somebody remind me again how many oz's of h2o we should actually be drinking?? I thought it was at least 64oz but not real sure.
Keep up the good work and pray for less hair loss soon!!

I started at a Womens 30W and 4X top. I'm now in 2X almost 1X tops and starting squeeze into 20W bottoms. I haven't been in these sizes in over sixteen years so this is amazing!!!
