Started Michael Thurman 7/4 at 237 lbs.

7/11 - 227
7-18 - 225.5

Not quite as significant as week 1. But.... I only exercised twice AND I wanted to see the effect one off plan meal per week would have. I had tomato and green pepper pizza and red wine for a True Blood date with hubby on Sunday! Guess without significant exercise to offset it, one meal can have a profound effect on loss. At this weight, I should be losing 5 lbs a week in the beginning!

May 31: 199.8
June7: 193.6
June 14: 192.0
June 21: 193 (I am sure the bounce is temporary)
June 28: off the grid :P
July 5: 194.8 ...Another reminder that if I do not count my cals I gain.
July 12: 191.2 ...Yup, when I count I lose, when I don't I gain.
July 19: 186.0

Slow and steady screeched to a halt. I've been at 184 ever since. Bounced up a pound for a while, then back to 184. Then up a pound, then back to 184. Going on 40 days now. The Flood with Noah and the Ark ended after 40 days, maybe this stuckage will too!!

Grrr! Wish the darn scale would drop, but that would require me to be diligent about sticking to lower carb/higher protein and no sugary cheats now, wouldn't it? Can't have that!

On a brighter note, my exercise has been consistent and my clothing feels looser. That's got to count for something!

3boys - I am not sure that 5lb a week is realistic unless their is a lot of water weight involved.

Guac - You are doing great! Your clothes getting loser show that something positive is happening.

Seagirl - the wooosh fairy really owes you a visit. I think what was said on another thread about training causing your stall may be true.

7/11 - 227 (-10 lbs)
7/18 - 225.5 (-1.5 lbs)
7/22 - 221 (-4.5 lbs)

Changing my weigh-in day from Wed. to Sunday morning since I plan to continue my once a week treat of pizza and wine with hubby during True Blood on Sunday night!

This was a much better week, even though it was a short one (only 4 days since last weigh in). Getting on the tread mill 3 of those 4 days was obviously the key!

I was down to 226 at one point, but bounced back a little. That's okay, as long as the long term trend is downward.
