Good Point 65! I haven't measured since the reboot - I suppose I should! Thanks for the reminder!

Do you ever reward yourself for just staying on program? It helps me sometimes to get through a rough spot. I like to go out and buy a cool piece of jewelry...I don't want to buy any clothes, since I will get to go shopping in my closet.
You and I are in the same spot almost exactly. About the same height and weight. And I am also "on a reboot". The second time around is harder, according to my coach and I have seen other comments about that on these threads.
The good news is that you KNOW it works, and it will this time too. Physiologically it just has to if you stay OP. And you are probably due for a big whoosh!
One more tip. I really like the Smooth Move tea, for one obvious reason (poop weighs a bunch sometimes) and it is a good way to get water in . I drink one per day. More than one a day would put me in the bathroom most of the day!
Hang in there. I'm with ya!
Delgen,
Thanks for the kind words. I know I need to focus on the positive, but sometimes it's hard. I'll look into the tea... if needed. So far, I'm having the opposite problem... same as last time. (a little TMI)

I'm discouraged because I did everything right this week. Very frustrating but can't let the scale defeat me.
(((hugs))) Sunflower. We'll get through it together. For me it's the KNOWING that it works that's keeping me going... I just wish it would be more readily apparent. lol

Instead of getting down, I make it motivate me to NOT get in this situation anymore where I NEED a big reboot!! If I would have not fallen off the wagon, I wouldn't be here complaining about my slow losses.
Keep with it everyone... remember a small loss is better than a zero loss or a gain.
KLD Your stats are very close to Delgen's and mine. We can be in a mini-club together!

If I can be stalled and still plugging along, glad I'm not gaining it all back, you can be losing slowly and moving forward at turtle speed. It's all good!
A loss is a loss!
Celebrate it!
Lisa, Thanks for the reality check.
I went out today to a wonderful market for produce and stocked up on all things IP friendly. Then stopped at TJ Maxx and bought a size 8 pair of dress pants... too tight right now, but I AM going to wear them in March!
Just had a delicious dinner of turkey burger and oven-roasted cabbage.
Time to watch some mindless TV since hubby is out 2nite.
Peace to everyone!
