I'm sorry, but I had to post this.. I am so incredibly happy right now I could SCREAM!! I have been on a weight plateau (I've still been losing inches) for what seems like forever (stuck in the low 190s), and today I weighed myself and the scale read 189.0! :D

Now, I know this may not be my "true weight". Could be that I lost more water or whatever, but I don't care! I have not seen the scale go under 190 in a long, long time. So for those of you stuck in a plateau, don't give up! Just keep doing what you're doing and eventually it will come off! :)

    That is good news. Every time a plateau occurs...and they will, it is your faithful to your food plan and exercise regime that will overcome that level period with your weight. Without commitment in the good times and the bad times, we don't get the joy of times like this.

    I am so happy for you, Sis. :flowerforyou:

    Thank you!!! It's definitely worth it. Every bit of it. It may not seem like that big of a deal to some people, but to me, I cannot even begin to describe how stoked I am! :')

    Great job! I was stuck at a number for a long time too. It would go up from there but not under. It is such a great feeling when it finally goes down again! Way to stick with it!

    Do it! Count your lowest points... it's a great feeling of accomplishment. Your 'lowest' gets lower & lower. I count it. Some people say it's not yours until you've weighed that for 2 weeks. Not me... I keep track of those record lows.. they're mine. :)

    Thanks for this. My scale has been a total jerk for 5 solid weeks. I'm staying strong and hoping that it will catch up the the inches lost. I'd be happy to see even a small but consistent drop over a few days. .25 of a lb would make me happy right now! LOL

    You're welcome. I felt the same way! even a small amount would have made me happy. I'm just glad it finally happened. I hope it happens for you soon!

    Yay for you! It is tough when the scale doesn't move - so enjoy the progress!! I weight myself daily, but will only log if the weight stays for 3 days in a row. I haven't seen my current weight in 5 years (I am just 4.5 from my wedding day weight!!) Celebrate your progress :-)

    I feel the same way! Those low numbers are all mine! :laugh:

    And thank you all!

    That's excellent. I know how hard it is to be stuck on a plateau. Have you been logging your food anywhere? Weighing everything and logging accurately all food/drinks would help you play around with the calories you consume every day and the type of food so you can try to break through the plateau by eating either up or/and down, or changing the type of food you have been eating.

    Omg go celebrate. I know what you are talking about. I had plateaued and for 3 mo. That little arm did not move, when it did, it was as if it was a dress size instead of 2 lbs. it will keep moving now. You are on a roll!

    I weigh myself daily too. Well, I just went back to weighing myself daily. Yesterday it was on the low end of my plateau, and it had been. So I had a good feeling it was coming soon! So glad it did! And congrats on your losses! :)
