As predicted, I've been holding steady at anywhere between 165.2-166 for the past 5 or so days. Usually I hold on to a weight for 6-7 days, so I'm really hoping for a drop sometime soon. I get so frustrated seeing the same weight day after day, whether I eat 1400 calories or 1800 calories the day before! Feels like there should be some correlation. But no, my body clings on regardless.
166.0 today. I hate it when the scale teases you and it starts to almost settle in the next digit under. So close! Hopefully I can hit 165 before I bounce back up because of ovulating
I got on the scale today just to check that I hadn't bumped back up and was very surprised to see 167.2? I'm lucky to lose 5 pounds in a month, so I'm pretty skeptical that it's not some water weight fluctuation. Maybe it's me losing the bloat from my TOM last week? Anyway, I'm not going to formally mark it down unless it's still down after this weekend.

Congrats! its definitely hard to lose 5 lbs in a month. Last month I only lost 2, but this month I've already met goal (4 lbs) and I don't feel I've done anything different! It's funny how our bodies work.
165.8. I can't wait to be closer to the 150s than I am to the 170s! Almost there
164.6 still!! Damn, I really wanted a serious drop but that is actually really on par with what I should have lost last week according to Fitbit calories in and out… so… I guess I just try to make my deficit higher this week. I just want to lose these 4.8 pounds so fast (and the next 20 basically) because I'm SO CLOSE to being back to where I was and SO CLOSE to being normal size instead of chubby and just ughhhh it feels like it's taking so long and I know I need to chill because the 150s will take longer, the 140s longer than that, etc until I hit my goal weight, but damn, it's hard adjusting to the slower rate of loss.
At the halfway mark! I had a pretty big whoosh period earlier this month after stalling for a while, so I expect the second half of the 160s will take longer than the first, but I'm still feeling good about my progress. It's just so hard not to feel a bit demoralized when one of those great whoosh phases is over and the weight loss slows down to a more normal pace.
I hear you Nerdette… congrats on getting halfway! I lose really consistently in hold/whoosh, so I spend at least a week at one weight then lose over 1-2 days. It's so frustrating being at the same weight day after day especially if I had a great deficit the day before or did a lot of exercise.
