7 weeks

May 26, 2010

Ok I am going to just start asking the million dollar question.  What the hell happened to my weight loss?  I am down 35 lbs and yes I know I have never lost 35 lbs in 7 weeks before but when is the scale going to move again?  I have bounced all over the place mentally and had one really bad day but overall I just keep doing what I am doing and waiting.  Fortunately I read a lot on the boards so I know stalls are normal and I know that usually the weight starts to come off again but please this seems to be taking forever.   My NUT says just eat protein first and get my fluids in and it all will fall into place.  I consume about 1000 calories a day but I see lots of folks who can't or don't eat that much.  I am very careful and make sure I always get over 60 g of protein and usually closer to 100 g.  I have just started adding some fresh fruits and veggies to my diet and I am hopeful that it will allow me to cut the calories.  I have been working out on the eliptical which darn near kills me but it is not boring.  All I can say is stalls are a lot easier to deal with when they belong to someone else!
Ok now to the good things.  I have lost 5 inches in my waist.  I had to buy smaller bras and a lot of the clothes in my closet that I could not wear a month ago now fit.  Something is moving it is just not the scale.
