I am stuck….
ok I am pissed! It has been several weeks since Christmas, and I have really had no major weight loss! i am still eatting healthy, no pizza, no candy, no real junk to speak of, staying under 1500 calories each day, I am gonna have to cut back to 1200 again I can see! I saw the scale go down to 146.2 this week, but now it seems that it was comfortable at 148…so back up it went! This is so frustrating! it seems like as I was losing to hit my goal I could lose, but once I hit that magic number now the weight is staying put, and I can’t get not another lb off! this is making me mad…I am exercising, eatting right,, doing everything the same….maybe I should start weighing my food out again…I guess that may be a mistake I have had, and then you know at night…If I could curve my nighttime snacking I know I would do better….I tried to stop munching on the cocoa pebbles as much after last week I had a run in with 5 bowls of it! So ok, next week I better see at least a lb off! I am not kidding, I feel good, look good, finally, but I still want to lose a few more lbs, really around the tummy! So…dang it I knew I should have joined that kmart challenge! Ok buddies, I will I will I will lose at least 1lb next week! HOLD ME TO IT! WEigh in sat am…I will report! Angie
Alright girlfriend stop beating yourself up. You have lost 72lbs and are currently 148 and you look fabulous. How low are you trying to go. You should be so proud of how far you come. Don’t have me contact Shanna and have her give you a swift kick in the rear.
Be proud Angie you have done an amazing job sweetie.
At Curves, (in the book) they say when you hit a plateau you should eat what you want for about two days (without being too crazy) to make your body stop producing the starvation hormone which slows down your metabolism and then jump in again being very good. They say it will look like you have gained a few pounds when you do this, but most of it is fluid and it will come off in another couple of days of being good. so don’t freak out if your weight goes up. They say this tricks your body into letting you lose weight. They suggest you eat the calories in your free days that you would want to have as your norm when you are done dieting and are just maintaining. Like if you want to be able to eat 2000 calories a day without gaining weight then when you jump start your metabolism eat from 2000 to 2200 calories. This has worked for many women. Also they say you should do this any time you go a week or more with no weight loss which can’t be attributed to hormonal bloat.
I’m having that trouble too. My weight keeps bouncing, and I’m having trouble fitting more exercise in. Hmm, that “break” thing may work, because I did that while sick, and then when I went back on I lost! Hang in there, you will make it!
