I haven't lost any weight in the last 6-8 weeks. In fact, it seems like I have gained and lost the same one pound every week! I purchased a dress about 3 weeks ago, the one in my profile pic...and it's a size 12. Today I bought a suit and had to get a size 10 and it was a little loose!

Take THAT scale (:laugh: victory dances!!). Who's your momma!! That's what's up!!! Woohoo!! :laugh:

Ok, I just had to get all of that out of my system! Gotta love a NSV...have you had one lately?

    Yay! That's what's up! I've been the same for almost a month now and I am slowly starting to give up. We depend on that scale sooooo much right? I needed to hear your wonderful event to inspire me to keep going. It just bothers me that I am stalling at 17 lbs like I only have 20 lbs to lose! I have well over 70 ilbs to lose but my body is TRIPPING! Maybe its me. Thanks again for sharing! I guess I will keep on keeping on (with a sad face) :-).

    Keep at it, as long as you're feeling better...tell that scale to hit the bricks! You can do it!!

    That is because you are losing inches instead of pounds and that is the best thing ever, congrats, chica!!

    I keep saying ( so MY ears will hear it) that the scale is just ONE gauge- as long as the BMI, Body Fat %, inches, etc are going DOWN, and the energy, confidence and willpower are going UP......those are ALL indicators of how I'm/we're doing

    And we all know, the number on the scale can vary throughout the day, from day to day.....and it's insane to allow IT to dictate your feelings- anymore than we should be allowing a wrong food choice to throw in the towel and go back to our old way of eating whatever we wanted and NOT caring about our bodies.
