Yesterday I posted about being frustrated because I was not losing weight. I had lost 9 pounds then put 2 back on and was extremely frustrated. Well this morning I stepped on the scale and was down 4.4 pounds and I have now lost a total of 11.4 pounds since January 27th. You all encouraged me to stick it out and wait and it worked and I just wanted to say thank you. Hopefully this will also encourage someone else who may be dealing with similar issues. I am so grateful for this group!!!

    Yay! So glad to hear it!
    Now, just remember this for next time. Because there will be a next time. It's just a normal part of it all. :smile:
    Don't let it get in your head. I battled this hard myself for many months. I have to keep reminding myself every time it happens again.

    Yeah Congrats!

    I too have struggled with this on and off forever. It is common and normal.

    Keep focused and doing the right things and you will achieve your goals before you know it.

    I tend to share all of my struggles on here, I've driven myself near crazy with trying too many different things and getting frustrated. This group has been a tremendous help to me as well.

    :) Just as long as the overall trend is two steps forward with one step back rather than the other way around, you will be doing fine. ;)

    Congrats! Your losses are quite amazing so far - you could be on "My Diet is Better Than Yours." ;)

    Amazing drop! Some months I loose less than 0.5 pounds others more than 10. For me, 11 pound since Jan 27 is hitting it out of the ball park. Whatever you are doing keep it going! Congrats!!

    It's so worth it to hang in there and not get discouraged when the scale does that! It's not easy, but worth it for sure!! Come here and rant about it all you want because we surely understand! Now, you can be ready for next time! I'm sorry it will still be just as frustrating, but will pass just the same when you keep on keepin on!! Wonderful job you're doing!! :smiley:

    You never can predict what your body is going to do in the short-term, and even a couple weeks is short-term. All you can do, it stick it out and be patient. In the end, the results come. I'm glad yours showed up sooner instead of later.
