Frustrated!

[SummerMarie 89]

I know I should be happy and I am happy with my weight loss so far.. I was sleeved September 20th and am down 80 lbs.. I keep hitting a slump where I'm not losing or if I do I go up a lb then come right back down.. I've upped my exercise and kept my calories the same.. At one point I even upped my calories as well as my workout and exercise routine.. I'm 5 months out and am happy with the number I've lost but not the number on the scale , if that makes sense.. Anyone else have the same issues!

5 months - down 80 lbs??

thats terrific

since you haven't posted your ticker, or profile (hint, hint) i don't know where your weight # stands

how much more you have to loose???

i can see that you are working hard, trying to change things up also to try and solve your problem

not loosing, going up and then down again a lb or 2????

what a bummer

easier said than done but..........you gotta be patient

don't get discouraged - sometimes people then might go back to old bad habits

don't let that happen to you!!!!

don't watch the scale

have you taken your measurements - do your clothes maybe feel a little bigger????

i'm sure things will work out

good luck

Thank you. I have no idea how to post the ticker.. I looked on my profile and am not sure where it would be.. Can you help? Btw my start weight was 258 and I'm 178.. I'd like to lose 38 more lbs

Time to put that nasty scale in time out! Put the scale in the darkest closest you have.......It's totally bad. Please stop weighing yourself for a few weeks and take a mini vacation from it. It will drive you crazy. The way the weight drops and then stalls is completely normal and the further out you get the slower the weight comes off. So time to work on being grateful for all your accomplishments ups to this point....Yes, you have done a great job! The rest of the weight will fall off in due time but now it's time to enjoy today and not focus on tomorrow..... Eat healthy, Protein, protein, and protein, and veggies. Drink a lot of Water and Celebrate the many little NSV's you've experienced up until today.......You have succeeded!

It's funny you say put the scale away because right after I posted this I walked into the bathroom and took the scale out and put it in my closet that I never go in on a top shelf.. Lol

I know it's ridiculous to feel frustrated to have come so far in such a short period of time and I have dropped 5 sizes and can finally tie my shoes and not be out of breath.. I can run 2 miles in 30 minutes when I couldn't even walk a mile in that time.. I need someone to tell it to me straight. .. Thank you.
