Finally dove off the plateau cliff!!!

First off.. thanks to all of you for pep talking me through this last "big" stall..

Well its been 5 weeks since my 9/24/09 3 month check up. I was 188.4 that day... (WLS office scale)
Today 10/29/09 I am 180.3... (again, WLS office scale)

The last 5 weeks have been very stressful financially for me.. I had something that I thought was taken care of 2/08 come back to haunt me.  So that taken care of, I'm now behind on other bills and will struggle to pay off the money borrowed to pay this. 

So the stress I'm sure slowed down my weightloss. The last two weeks I worked really hard on water, walking, and eating right.. very little carbs if any unless naturally in foods.. reading labels.. eating organic yogurt instead of high fructose corn syrup filled ones.. (bub-bye yoplait light!) Things like that.. I was stuck at 188 for about 3 weeks and I think the last two is when I lost the last 8.. I was in shock when the RN told me my number today.. I'm so happy to see numbers and I know I'm losing again... I knew I was losing inches but the #'s just reinforce it!

Nice work!!!  Way to break through that stall!!

Nice job, Stacy!

Way to go on plugging along through your stall! Sometimes small dietary changes and stress can be the thorn in our side keeping us from those few pounds we want to fall off!

Keep it up!

It is so easy to stall - glad you stuck it out and remembered the basics and had good results, Stacy!

great news!  Isn't it amazing to see what is in some of the foods that we think are 'healthy', I've been on the organic highway for a long time, but it's hard sometimes because there aren't 'low sugar' or low fat alternatives in many cases.  Thank God for Stevia!

That weightloss is AWESOME!

 Nice work Stacy!  I bet you learned more about yourself and healthy eating during that stall!  (I have a sick need to try and find something positive out of what may feel negative....sorry!).  Thanks for the update!
