Moved the weight bar to the left
 

For the past couple of weeks my weight loss has slowed dramatically -- down to 151, up to 154 (that one scared me, I was like: What did I DO?), then back to 151 for a while...

I decided to calm down and acknowledge that I've done a very good job with my exercise and eating habits, and it would be okay for me to hang out at 151 for a while. I am working out very hard, both cardio and weights, and I am monitoring what I'm doing. I have not slacked off. I can chill for a while until I decide how I want to mix things up, wait for the weather to warm up so I can get back to doing my usual running, etc.

This week: 3 pounds!

The best part about this is that I use a doctor's scale at home -- the kind that has the upper bar that measures in 1-pound increment and the lower bar that measures in 50-pound increments. This morning I got to move the lower bar weight from 150 to 100 (and of course the upper bar weight then went from the left all the way over to the right :lol:). I went: Whoo hoo! Go team! Moving that weight from 150 to 100 felt GREAT.

(My body has been feeling different recently -- for example, I took off my jeans the other day...without unbuttoning them.)

That's so awesome I've very happy for you!

Yup I can't wait till that stupid scale goes from the 200 to the 150!

I stressed myself out so much before my doctor appointment that I've gained weight!

I told myself yesterday to calm down- I KNOW I'm working hard and I plan to see the doctor again in three months (after my appointment tomorrow) and then we'll see some real results!

lol.... I think you need new jeans.:D

I too use a doctor's scale at home and moving that lower bar to 100 is one of my mini goals.

:bravo: Woohoo! Don't you love those new decades!!! Congrats! You have worked hard for this!!

That's awesome! We have to look for each small victory and savor it. I'm so thrilled for you.
