when I started this I am sure I was smaller than 211 that I posted. But I only get on the scale at my doc's every 4-6 weeks witch was today and I found out I am 195lbs. Should I change my challenge start wgt? or just go with it?

My weight loss has come to almost an absolute standstill. No clue what the deal is...frustrating! I'm so close to "ONE-derland", but I can't get there! ARGH! I'm excercising like crazy, too! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! My body fat is droppin like crazy, but the weight is static.

Venting aside, I need to figure this out if I am going to be successful at this challenge. I'd love it if I could do it before my vacation at the beginning of November, but right now all I'm doing is treading Water.< /strong>

Has anyone discussed this with their doctors/nutritionists/nurses? Any suggestions?

Pft. My scales had me UP 4 pounds to 350 this morning!!! I'm gonna SCREAM!!! But I haven't exercised in almost 2 weeks now, so I'm sure thats it. Either way... I will wait a few days and see if that number drops again... or else I will have to adjust my goal!!!

Hey there Stef...how long have you been at a stand still? If it's more than two weeks, ya might think about changing up the exercise routine and eating patterns. Sometimes it's just a plateau and we have to suffer through it...then BAM! There goes another 5lbs! I'm sure you'll break through soon. hang in there

I think about two weeks or so. I have lost about two pounds in that time, but that is a drastic change from before. I will definitely try changing up the eating, but I don't know what to do to change up the excercise. Maybe add lifting weights? I'm addicted to the bike...can't not do that! I'm not really doing anything specifically for upper body...any ideas? I'd love to see four to five pounds gone a week like before.

[wombat712 2]

I'm seriously scared to get on my scales when I get home!!!! I've been out of town all week with no scale and I've eaten desert!!!!! :hungry:I feel like a cow and I'm so disgusted with myself - I'm probably not gonna make the goal and have to change it :faint::cry

Your body is probably just adjusting to the loss you've had thus far. I know it's frustrating, but I'm sure it will pass soon and you'll see another nice dip on the scale. You LOOK fantastic!!! That's for sure Then again, you are a knock out before your surgery too!
