Hi, don't get discouraged, it will be better... Try changing up your exercise routine, after walking for a while my body got used to it and I stopped losing, by changing it up, I soon lost 3 lbs in less than 3 days. Try another activity for a week or so and see what happens.

Nola, I think the assessment on your last post is probably right on the money.

Isn't it funny (well, interesting) how we can just keep going about our plan, very confident in what we are doing, KNOWING everything is in place, and then one weird report from the scale can make us question everything? Infuriating! I would imagine this is even more the case hovering right there around where you are (*almost* under 200!).

Glad your head is back where it needs to be, because we need your voice of reason around here. Seriously! :D

Thanks, Shannon; you are a sweetheart. :hug:

It astonishes me how my rational, in-control, even-keeled nature can get so thoroughly rocked by one lousy week of scale misery! I'm proud--okay, maybe even a little vain--about my diligent adherence to my plan. I never got the "perfect attendance" ribbon in grade school, but now I know how the little apple-polishers who did get one felt about it. :D

And then...BAM. Reality acts as the iceberg to my Titanic. The human body will snap back from disruption, and sometimes that snap negates an illusory weight loss.

I just want to reiterate how thankful I am for this support network here at 3FC. In previous weight loss attempts, I'm pretty sure that an event like this would've caused a fall from dietary grace; thanks to being here, I've stuck with my plan where it worked and re-evaluated where I could improve it.

I love y'all, I truly do. :val1:

I think that's such a strength of this place! I think so many of us have hashed out a bout with the evil scale and come out victorious because of the support here!! I know I have!!
