...I weighed in at 166.6 :laugh: :devil: I've been stuck at 166 for the past week or so... But this was just crossing the line for my "friend," the scale...

So here's to tossing the scale for the next couple weeks :drinker: That's what it gets for crossing me!!

    Love your post topic...lmao! Hang in there. We all plateau. Your body is adjusting right now, so when you hit these plateaus then instead of the scale concentrate on how differently your clothes are fitting. When this happens to me I tell myself everyday "it took a long time to put it on and it'll take a long time to take it off too". You got this girl!!:wink:

    Frickin' scale. :mad: Mine did the same to me this morning too.

    You know what - screw it. We're not defined by mere numbers, right? :flowerforyou:

    Girl I have the same problem, ive been stuck at the same weight for about 2 months!! Im trying different things. More water, eating back more of my cal's burned, etc. Hopefully something will work. I only have about 6lbs that I want to loose, so it may be my body telling me instead of loosing anymore, just tone! Anyways, some of my wonderful mfp friends are doing something called zig zag....freedieting.com/calorie intake/calculate/put in stats/calculate/7 day cycle. wa la!! Going to try that this week, just to see, it might be worth a shot!! It's basically going up and down with your calories, I think so your body doesn't get in a rutt ! I have heard your body gets tired of the same routine. Good luck!!

    HAHAHAHAH!!!! If there was karma on this site, I'd be boosting yours right now :happy:

    Yeah I've heard about that calorie zig-zagging thing... Who knows, it might be worth a shot :smile: My issue is that I've only been on this journey for 5 months and I've only lost 8 lbs, so WHY AM I PLATEAUING?? lol! I don't get it! XD

    About the calorie zig-zagging--is that net calories? Or the total amount you consume in a day?

    I have literally given my scale the finger before, scowled at it and threw a few F bombs at it. I am also planning on putting mine away after tomorrow for a week. I hate it!
