Weigh-in: Week 30!!!

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

I’m so glad to have made it this long still blogging, still weighing in, still paying attention to eating and doing a much better job at eating right, back again on excercise

The bad news is, in the last month my weight loss has really slowed and this week it was all I could do to hold it at zero loss, zero gain - no change.

I am down lower than I could even imagine a few months ago. That’s the *more* good news.

What am I doing? I’m eating better than ever but not tracking foods. I’m back to working out and working out HARD!

I’m thinking I will just have to keep concentrating on food and working out, and, if the plateau doesn’t bust this week, I’ll try changing the food up some.

Hmmm… Still 7.8 pounds above the halfway point. I sooooo want to drop another 10 pounds or so and get soldily back into Misses sizes. I’m hovering right where I was after I moved to NC in ‘95 and could no longer wear the Misses.

Three week average loss: .8 pounds per week. I’m also sitting at 49.4 pounds down from where I started last August, so I’d like get past that 50 mark. The grand total is still 67.2 pounds lost.

If I do a good loss this week, or even a moderate loss, this may just be an adjustment my body is making. Otherwise, change will have to come!

You have done fantastically well so far and I know you’re going to make it, you have such a great work ethic.

Keep it going, keep focussed on the prize, and make sure you seriously celebrate crossing that 50lb barrier. Take yourself shopping and buy some real nice clothes.

Hey there. You’re doing great. Just keep on the good work. And the plateaus just mean you’re body is taking a break from losing weight, adjusting itself and gearing up to lose even more weight. He he! I don’t know if that’s strictly true, biologically speaking. But I’ve seen that plateaus are like the calm before the storm. So keep it up and hang on. You’ll soon cross all the half-way and 3/4th way marks. Tc

I know exactly where you are at! I gained a pound last week, but took it off this week. Now my waist is down another quarter inch, for a total of a half inch, yippee! I still haven’t started a diet blog yet, but I’m working on what I want to say.

Ive been thinking about how I am not focused lately. Staying focused is a hard thing…esp when you are at a plateau…

Hopefully, things will budge, but if not, changing up the routine, as you said, will hopefully do the trick for you!

Hey, gottaloose! Great to see you out and about! Thanks for the encouragement. You know, it doesn’t feel like I’ve been working hard, but it does feel like what I’ve gained is far to good to give up. I’ll agree with you - gotta keep going! This will have to start working again, one way or another! LOL Delita

goodlife, what a great image! I think I’m going to hang onto that, that this is the calm before the storm! That statement alone can probably keep me inspired for another week! Thanks! Delita
