MellioM 116 Posted August 31, 2012 I am mental. Today I went shopping for needed new work clothes. I bought one XL dress, mostly L clothes and even my first ever Medium shirt!!! So why am.I sitting here near tears because I haven't had any weightloss in a month??? I really need the scale to start moving again. And no, I haven't lost any inches in the past month either. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karewpah 173 Posted August 31, 2012 We're all a little mental...at least I am I think the new clothes will help you...they'll motivate you...you'll feel better and that will translate to a loss on the scale. Maybe change things up a little bit with food/exercise....some times the body just needs a jolt Congrats on the new clothes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandman27959 38 Posted August 31, 2012 Ugh. How frustrating! Congrats on the new clothes though... I'd go back to basics and make sure you're following your doctors instructions to the letter. Even a few hundred calories or a few minutes of exercise can make a big difference. Don't lose faith. It'll start working again. Easy to say, right? This is the part that separates the wheat from the chaff. Hang in there. This is your new lifestyle - not a diet. D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MellioM 116 Posted September 2, 2012 Just wanted to say that I broke my plateau! Oh and I do waaaaay more than a few minutes of exercise at least 5 but usually 6 days a week. I'm a runner and I do at minimum 2 miles a day (and that is only the days where I just don't have time). I also strength train 2/3 times a week and sometimes take a cardio class like step or kickboxing. 2 lalaj and DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DetChatt 188 Posted September 13, 2012 Those plateaus are the worst. I hit one every few months like clockwork. Glad you broke through yours and yay on the new clothes !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asherscrashers 43 Posted September 13, 2012 i feel so mental ever since i had my surgery i think we focus so much on the numbers on the scale and forget to look at the other things like smaller clothes, and more energy and getting off medication... i also get so frustrated that i have let my head win lately instead of my band telling me what to do ... i will not be hungry physically but my head will tell me i deserve a treat since i have been working out... please tell me i am not the only crazy one with that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
