Another stall broken...

I had been hovering right around 250 for some time (since early December). 250 is an important "milestone" weight for me for a couple of reasons; first, I simply never thought I could get my weight down to 250 and keep it there (let alone lose MORE). Second, for adults the weight limit on a lot of things is 250 pounds; for instance, I had to buy an ultra-heavy duty office chair for my computer because at 330 lbs I literally destroyed Office Depot-type cheapo chairs too fast, so it made sense to invest in a heavy duty, high quality chair.

But my weight "stuck" around 250 and wouldn't budge... at one point during the holidays it bounced back as high as 254. My gf tried to convince me that it was Water weight, but my glass half empty mind just "knew" that 250 was as low as I go and now I was going to start climbing again.

Well, without any real change of diet or exercise habits, I've started losing again, and am now down to around 246. Hopefully this trend will continue to my Hawaii vacation at the end of February; I don't want to look COMPLETELY disgusting in swim trunks!

Does anyone else have the same experience where your body seems to hold on to weight for a couple weeks, and then with no real change in diet or exercise habits, abruptly start losing again? I can't figure it out; in this case I know that it was literally NOTHING I changed in my diet and exercise habits (still moderate but not perfect with my diet, still utterly bad about exercise), so it must have been some internal, metabolic thing!

That's awesome that you are losing again and an encouraging post to read. My body seems to lose 5lbs or so in a week, stall stall, gain a little then start losing again. I'm not sure what our bodies are doing but sounds like things work out in the end. Btw I seriously doubt you look disgusting at all in your swim trunks.

Hah! Thanks for the compliment. I bought a piece of home gym equipment to that end, also. I'm never gonna be Brad Pitt, but hopefully I can avoid being Homer Simpson...
