Stick it out!

Sleepy · 02-28-2012, 09:01 AM

i just came off an 11 day stall

i started questioning what i was doing
what was i doing wrong? should i do something different?
starting reading different groups/blogs/boards and got very confused

finally released 3.5 pounds this morning

i prayed and prayed all night to just lose 1 pound, just 1 please

just let me know its still working
i had to check the scale 3 times this morning

a long stall is so frustrating!!
but stick with it people!! its still working!

do not let it deter you

C'Marie · 02-28-2012, 10:07 AM

Wow sleepy! Good job!!!!!! Lots of us would've given up and dove into something not good for us!

Sleepy · 02-28-2012, 10:38 AM

Way to stick it out!! Very inspiring!! you totally deserve that drop and I hope your losses pick up from here!!

Congratulations, Sleepy!

Thanks for posting this -- the long stall is a fairly typical pattern for a lot of people, and often the losses resume and pick up to a nice level after it breaks -- I hate to see people freaking out when they are "stalled" for a day or two (which is not a stall at all) -- real stalls (of weeks at a time) are actually normal, and as frustrating as they are, it does pay to wait them out.

You are a real trooper, and I am glad it is paying off for you!!!

actually i did add a bag of 100 calorie popcorn and added some butter to it

i remember last round when i was stuck i ate some butter beef (stick of melted butter + onion soup mix poured over beef stew meat cook in crockpot all day) and the same thing happened

Needed this today!!! Glad to hear you finally broke it by sticking with it. I will do the same Sleepy, thanks for the encouragement!

Also remember that the best measure of success is not on the scale, but on the tape measure!! When you are stalled...check your measurements!!
