YES. I know your frustration!

In July when I started exercising again, it didn't stall my weight. It accelerated it instead. I think that's bc I wasn't doing that much exercise -- just the 10 min BBL routine and riding my bike a few times a week. The weight dropped so beautifully. Ahh July, you were glorious. ;)

Then at the end of July, I started exercising more -- longer exercise routines, plus they usually include weights. I expected that to stall me/bump me up, because I have a strong history of my body reacting like that to more intense exercise. And tada, it did. :D In the past, after about 6 weeks things would right themselves. So I'm hoping that happens again, for both me and you! :) I saw that you're up and that's most likely your muscles retaining water. I know it's annoying :mad: but keep up the great work. :cp: The scale will start to show it soon.

jr - Those cooler weather hikes sound so gorgeous. You have some lovely months ahead of you. :) GL with your goal this month!

Thank you for your encouragement!! It is so hard to trust that the weight will come off, sometimes I feel like I am just going to stay stuck and not be able to lose anymore, but I know that is not likely the case! I just want to be out of the 180's (well, I'm technically back in the 190's now, but I am not counting the little gain lol)


blondie Congrats on making it to goal, over a week early!! :carrot:

I really don't think I'm going to end up losing anything at all this month - which is frustrating - but I also haven't gained anything either. Gotta get back on track before the end of the month so I can start September off with a bang!

I'm not there yet but progress is progress and I'll take it!!

Went from back to where I was at the beginning of the month to down 3 pounds basically in one day... lol. This is basically just proof to me that my work schedule is messing up my weight loss journey. So I may be having a conversation with my boss about not working at 4am anymore.

I weighed today. I'm the exact same weight as I was when I last weighed one week ago. I'm actually relieved bc I feel heavier than I did last week. Bathroom and female issues. The former have become my norm. :o Anyway, I took it as a good sign that I'm the same bc since I feel noticeably heavier, I must have lost some fat that's helping the weight stay the same even though those other issues are adding bulk ;), so to speak.


Wow! Congrats on the loss, and I hope you're able to get the shift change.

Way to go kelijpa and Sencha!
