Hitting the plateau mentally and physically
The last couple of weeks I have been having trouble staying positive. I start to feel like my whole life revolves around the number on the scale! I feel like I have hit a mental "plateau". The first 2 months went by sooo fast and I dropped 25 pounds. Now it seems like days are going in slow motion and the scale hardly moves...I have 4 more months to go and I'm so worried I won't hit my goal. Has anyone else felt like this while on program? I need to snap out of it! I guess I just gotta keep pushing through one day at a time.

Hope that helps - so glad your first two months were so successful! Hope to hear of continued success from you. |
Thanks for the support. I think I am frustrated because my coach left for another job with hardly any notice. I live 75 miles from the center so I visit every other week. She had been calling me twice a week to check in and it helped a lot. I don't know any of the other coaches and I guess my info was not passed on because I haven't gotten a single call and nobody had looked at my file since my last visit. I will be bringing this up on Wednesday when I go to weigh in. I have a scale at home and I started to weigh myself every day but that is making me feel worse because I seem to be stuck for the last 2 weeks. It really helps to know that others have felt this way. *I CAN do this*!!!

Laura- I would be really upset about that too. The "personal touch" is exactly why I chose Metabolic Research Center. I think I might be able to do this myself- but I wanted that accountability.
I'm feeling confident that you will find a new consultant that you like when you go in. Also- why don't you try to find a local exercise class that is a bit more holistic- perhaps yoga. That can remind you that it's not just about the scale, but wellness and transforming your life. |
Laura -
Keep up the good work. I know that I felt "off" when my consultant left in the beginning but I really connected with another lady who had been through the weight loss journey and really seemed to help me even more. Realize that this is your journey... you have the tools, you have the knowledge, you just need to keep your head straight. I often say that the majority of my weight loss has been mental and preparedness... planning my food, my water, my drinks...everything. I also know, for me, rest and water were two MAJOR factors in plateaus... sometimes you can't help lack of sleep, but a few more zzzzzzs and it seems to help... Hang in there! |
Oh wow - you all have coaches who handle you personally? I'm handed off randomly to a different consultant every time I walk in. And I've never gotten phone calls during the week. Now you're making me feel bad - like I've paid just as much money and am not getting the same level of support! But then again if you can only go in every two weeks, that's a big difference. I'm there twice a week.
Anyway, I'm sorry to hear you lost your coach. But 25 lbs in two months is nothing to sneeze at! Seriously - be proud of how far you came and know that you did that work, not your coach. Keep it up. You are right, you CAN do it. You've already proven that! |
