I have been going back and forth, back and forth between 264 and 262.4, with no real explanation. I hadn't changed anything, it wasn't TOM. I was perplexed, but I kept trudging along, knowing at some point something HAD to give. This morning, it did. I saw 260.8 on the scale. I am SOOOO close to going down another decade on my weight, I can feel it. I was getting super discouraged. Even if it goes back and forth on me again, I NEEDED to see that lower number to have the reassurance I need to keep on keeping on. I feel a sense of renewal having seen that. That puts me at 30 lbs lost since January 3rd. I feel unstoppable.
I honestly have no idea where I'm at today. I haven't weighed in for a few days. I got my TOM (which I was actually thrilled about because with my PCOS I actually haven't had a TOM in a year and a half!!!)
Anyway, it turns out I probably have a bakers cyst behind my right knee so exercising is really kind of out for me right now and so I'm going to have to really cut carbs again to try to get this weight loss going once more.
JsMommy! Way to go!!!! So glad you broke through that stall. It gives me hope
Mela - sorry you're out of exercise Here I am making excuses about getting started.
I've had a pretty good week. It's been 4 days since any cheat of any sort. I'm on a roll. I've lost 6+ lbs in those 4 days but it's been the same for 2. It's dumb to feel frustrated at no daily loss but I at least thought I'd have ounces per day for the first 10 lbs. That's my norm with restarting Paleo. Oh well. I do feel a lot better. My energy levels are slowly coming up and I think I'll get out into this sunshine and walk today. We all need the Vit D. It's been a rainy 6 months of winter. I hope everyone else is see improvements this week! Good luck ladies! We CAN do this!
Hello all. Just checking in to see how you are all doing. I'm still plugging along. I know, slow and steady is the best way to lose. Quick fix fads don't last. Etc, etc. But I can't help but wish that it would come off faster. Oh well....Just need to remind myself I'm in for the long haul
JsMommy - slow and steady will build life long habits that you can maintain! You're doing great!
I've finally broken through my 265 block that I've had since January. I would get down to 265, but then binge and bounce back to near 270. FINALLY under 265. 5 days on plan, yeahhhhh! & my first 10 lbs lost!
My weekend wasn't stellar but not as bad as it could have been. After 7 days of constant cooking every meal, I caved to go out to eat and not have responsibility or dishes. Of course I've bounced back 3 lbs but I'm hoping that is water weight. We shall see. Good luck this week ladies! WE can do it!
I'm back up to 262, but I'm really hoping it's just water retention. I did a HUGE hike (huge for me, anyway) Saturday with my biggest loser challenge. 7.54 miles. I remember the last time I did a big walk (the 6 miler) I was up for a couple of days afterwards and then had a big woosh down about 3 days later. I'm super proud of me and my best friend. We may have whined and been hurting, and were some of the last in but we made it the whole hike. I especially feel better today because I found out there were others who turned around and headed back before reaching the actual turn around point. People who were in better shape than us.
I cannot get out of the 250's--that scale won't budge!!!! I'm on the IP plan--I'm dreading my session this week and I have NOT cheated once!!! I just hope I have lost in inches or they will swear I have cheated-they are very strict at my clinic...

IP plan? What's that? I don't recall hearing that before.
I'm still plugging away. I saw a 259 a few days ago. But since then, it went back up. This morning was 261.4. I'm really hoping it's still just fluid retention. if not, I figure if I keep on doing what I'm doing, it will eventually start to go back down again. I'm frustrated.
I'm basically starting over. PCOS is the worst!!! I gain weight like it's going out of style but have to work so hard to lose anything. But I'm determined it won't beat me. Time to cut the carbs again.
Here I am making excuses about getting started.
