Wow, a size 12? lol

Okay, so I was checking the sizes of my clothes this morning for work and I saw a 12 and thought well 14's are a little big...what the heck I'll try them on and see how they fit.  Okay, girls, they fit!  ~seriously~ I thought to myself. 

Now here is the weird part...I haven't lost much weight in the past 8 weeks, as most of you know from my complaining all the time, and it made sense that I went from a 16 to a 14 without weight loss what why a 14 to a 12 without weight loss?  Not that I'm complaining, but weird?  yes or no?

And when the heck am I going to see the scale move again?  Or is this normal for being 8 months out?  I'm not sure... 

I have been exercising a ton or more intense but I've always have walked...but I start jogging/walking, then I do my Wii, rollarblade, stairs, and swimming...so basically I do what I feel like doing so I don't get bored; like I did from only walking all the time.  So is that why?

I suppose there are a lot of reasons why but just wondering what my OH friends think???

I can't solve your mystery, but I thank you for give us plateaued individuals hope that even if we can't lose a pound, maybe, just maybe, we can look smaller to others. I'll take what I can get right now.

SUPER congrats on the size 12....that's a big wow. You're officially in the safe zone, away from women's clothing!

Exercise does have a lot to do with your clothes size. I weighed 190 something two different times in my life, and the second time I go there with a personal trainier, and I looked WAY different than the first time when I was flubby. I'm sure your toned form is a different environment for your clothes.

Congrats on everything!

In the month of September I went from a 12 right to an 8, and my weight loss slowed way down that month.
I do exercise a lot, and have definitely noticed that even when I'm in a slow down, things tighten up & get smaller with working out.

Are you in a real stall, or are you just losing slowly? I've had weeks where I didn't lose as quickly, but so far only 2 weeks where I didn't lose anything at all. Exercise usually keeps things moving, especially if you're mixing it up as much as you say.

Well, I call it a stall because I've only been losing one or two pounds every few weeks.

I'm going on Aktins today to "jump-start"my weigh loss again.

This is my "normal" work out but then again how normal is life?  lol

Monday & Wednesday=Water aerobics
Tuesday & Thursday=walking during work with a friend and then stairs or running or rollarblading
Weekends=I'll do a Walk away the pounds video and my Wii

Congratulations Selena!  I went from a size 18 to a 14 without losing an ounce.  That was in the beginning, but it happened!  Just think, shopping gets so much better now.  You can go anywhere!  It makes such a difference!

You are probably losing inches instead of weight right now with the exercise that you do.  It is amazing how your body changes when the scale doesn't move.

IMO all that counts is what size you are.
