Okay I know a real stall last for weeks and I know I am not in a real stall, but I have not lost anything is almost 2 weeks! I do not weigh everyday, I weight weekly, but lately I have been looking at my scale with a loathing look, so I may avoid it for longer than a week and see what happens. I was warned at my 3 month check up that I more than likely would hit a few weeks of no weight loss and that it is normal, so now it's  here. Although I know it's normal and I am still sticking to my plan, I still can't help but feel a bit of frustration. I know this is a marathon and not a sprint and lifetime habits are being formed and I need to relax, but even knowing all I know I have to admit I still feel frustrated!!! Thanks for letting me vent, I think I feel better now!!!

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

I'm trying to get focused on my exercise to bump things into motion, whether it's the scale or the inches.  I still go into a little bit of shock when I see myself in the mirror, so I'm counting it as time to have my brain catch up with my body.

I am with you girls at the May 23 rd date and I feet like I am stalling too:(
I started and 315 and I am down to 250 but I keep stalling. I feel like it should be coming off faster. Keep wondering if I am doing something wrong that I am losing so slow. I think its something to do with protein though. I increased the protein and then it seems to work to get the scale moving again and then I slow down on the protein again and I stand still again. Its hard to get all the protein in unless I still drink two shakes a day.
