Just like the temps in NC today my temper is warm.

 

Last week I went on a wonderful 5 day vacation with the hubs. We were in Orlando and took in Disney and SeaWorld. It was great and boy did I move it, move it!! My step counts for the days were redic- 22500 the first day and the following days from 15000 to 20000. I only partook on one alcholic drink. Due to band tightness I wasn't able to eat very much. However, when I did eat it wasn't the healthest due to it being away from home. I tried to make good choices, but you just never know what they put in things. I spluged and had ice cream twice - not huge amounts - one cup. The icecream and one crepe was the ONLY desert like things I had while there.

 

When we returned and I weight on the 6th I was up 4 lbs from the 30th when we left. I thought, okay, salt in take was likely higher than normal, plus I was on my TOM. I figured once my monthly vistor checked out and I got back to flushing my system the weight would drop. Well....... Sunday I was down a half lb, Monday down and half more. I have now been at 192.5 for two days. Before leaving I was 190.

 

I was so looking forward to the 180's. I have been in the 190's since Dec and I am soooo sick of it.

 

Since getting back I have remained moving. I have been trying to keep my steps around 8000-12000 a day. I am drinking my water again my TOM is done. So why are those pesky pounds sticking around.

 

I am frustrated. I have been in the same 10 lb range for 4 months- enough already!!!! Frankly, I am worried because what if my body won't let go of more weight? I am sticking to the plan, moving, talking to my doc and my weight is not going down any more.

 

My doc says I have done great and not to worry so much, I should just stay the course and I will be fine.

 

I so want to hit the 140's, my body just doesn't apparently.

 

Have any of you experience long plateaus or extreme slow down in weight loss? Please your expereices are welcome!!!!!!!!

My experiences with plateaus is I have to be committed to a plan for at least 7-10 days before I see the scale move. That means, I eat 1200 calories a day, exercise strong for at least 5 days and no slips. One or two slips in that time span will doom me to staying at a plateau.

My weight goes between 193 and 195 for about one month now. I don't get it either and I am very past TOM's. I see my doctor next week but I am down since my visit with him in February.

Maybe you're replacing fat with muscle, staying the same weight. Do you measure?

I definitely can say that I am not taking off weight as fast as I first was. I have gone weeks without losing and then a lb or two will come off. Sticking with the plan and counting on the math.lol

Hang in there!

Plateaus are hard, I sat at one for over 4 months and you are correct it is very frustrating. I know it is easy to say have patience but honestly that is what it takes, sometimes when we are losing large amounts of weight our bodies need time to adjust to the weight loss. One thing you may try is increasing your protein, I lost best at 90 gms and above and exercising 5-6 days a week for 40-60 minutes. If you could do some strength training to start building muscle your body will burn fat faster. Good luck to you!
