I know I know I know it happens....

I know it's normal, I know it happens, and I know to expect it....BUT PLATEAUS STINK!!!! :grumble: :grumble: I've been eating great, working out more than usual, and for two weeks now the scales won't budge. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: It went down .5 lbs yesterday but back up today
But I'll just keep at it. And work through it. I was hoping to lose another 4lbs by the time I go up to visit my family and friends in OH for 4th of July weekend...Looks like that may not happen.:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: But I'll try for 2. I should be able to do that in 1.5 weeks realistically..I hope, if I can get over this darn plateau. Ok, just needed to vent. I hate these things....but I guess it's just all part of the process....:grumble:
On a positive note, I have noticed my clothes fitting differently and even though I know the scales that measure body fat aren't completely accurate it did show a drop of 3.5% body fat from three weeks ago. And that drop is consistently showing up every day for the past 4 days. So while the number may be off, I'm hoping the drop really happened.:drinker: And as sore as I am from doing all this workout stuff...I don't find it hard to believe....Scary to hear myself say this (but in a good way) but I am totaly addicted to working out...:bigsmile: I love the rush it gives me....Ok I'll stop rambling now :bigsmile: Everybody have a good day. I've gotta do some work...:sad: :sad: :sad: But I'll pop in and out of the message boards... u all!!!

You will be great! Your body will get over it and you will continue to lose. I know it's hard!!! I was losing so well for so long that I got really used to those great losses!! However, even with weight to lose...my body has shed SO much and I am so much healthier (with muscles even!!) that my body is not letting go as fast!! I was hoping to be about 10 lbs less than I am by now......BUT, whatever..it is what it is! I've had a few maintains.....but I know my body will get to work again and I will keep on going!

I say don't use a calendar so much and just take it a week at a time...you will get to your goal weight! It might not be the exact day you were hoping, but you WILL get there!

I am an endorphin junkie myself!! I LOVE how I feel when I work out! I LOVE feeling my muscles working and getting stronger. Keep going girl!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thank you...and BTW...you look great. You're truly an inspiration...WOW! 90lbs! That is absolutely amazing!!:drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: As always thanks for your support! I usually do go a week at a time, but we're having the engagement party and I just wanted to be down 4lbs more that I was...but hey just since the last time I saw them I've lost 16 lbs. So I guess I should be proud of that. And a total of 24. So not too shabby. I suppose :bigsmile:
