Stagnant weight - break out the tape measure

It occurred to me today that my weight has been stagnant for 10 days... I remember when I thought holding the same weight for 10 days was some amazing accomplishment now it's some sort of curse and I'm growing impatient.   A good friend of mine gave me some advice that when the scale stalls bust out the tape measure. Woo - hoo Motivation. Inches decreased all over my body! What great advice!!! So I'm back to feeling positive and trying to remember that my body just dropped 50 lbs in 2.5 months it may need some recovery time.   My appetite is funny, some days I can only stand a few bites and other days I'm eating a decent amount. The crazy part is I seem to lose on the days I eat more. I know I know - the body needs fuel but I can only put in what I can stand.   Does anyone else have some advice for when weight gets stagnant?

Almost half way there

It's not every day I put my thoughts out for others to see, I'm more one of those I have everything under control on the exterior people. This journey of losing weight has not been easy but I'm so thankful that it was a tool available. Today I celebrate 50 pounds GONE! I'm not at the half way point yet but it's in my sights and for that I feel so blessed. I decided I needed a celebratory gift - so yay new shoes     My husband struggles with kidney disease and is a home dialysis patient. This disease has changed so much about our lives and I would love to just see him healthy. My goal is to lose enough weight to be tested (and hopefully match) to give him my kidney. However, part of me also feels connected to this incredible community of caregivers who realize the strength it takes to provide care to a loved one with every ounce of energy you have and still try to maintain some normalcy. Those people will always hold a special place in my heart for I have learned first hand how difficult it is to live through that. I hope some day there will be an artificial cure, in the meantime we hope others who are healthy will find it in their hearts to donate an organ and save a life.
