Hang in there.
I was stuck at 191ish forever..... Then 186ish forever....
I quit looking at the scales (except every so often to make sure I wasn't gaining). My size 12's kept getting a little looser here and there and I could wear more and more size 10's....
I ate Atkins (throughout the rungs of OWL) because I felt better. If i eat junk I feel like well junk.
Yesterday for my birthday I drug out the scales and had dropped to 175. Not that I live by my scales but it was really nice to see the number down to a new decade. And that is 85 pounds gone. And no I did not have any cake. I did have part of a vanilla malt made with low carb ice cream at Braums. Hit the spot. And there is no low carb ice cream in my freezer to finish off. I love low carb ice cream bu tif it is here I well eat all of it eventually.
I know I was so very discouraged never seeing the scales move. I tried a lot of different things to make it move including no dairy, no fruit, no grains, added supplements, took them away. The pounds disappeared when they felt like it. More exercise, less exercise, different types of exercise.... And I still do alot of activity of various types. I do weights for the upper body 3 times a week, I do yoga or callenetics or aerobics. I walk and ride bikes a lot with my son as well. But I do keep my activity level up. Exercise is not an option, at least for me.
Wish I could have gotten them to leave faster, but it just didn't work out that way. But the pounds are leaving slowly.
If you are having those same issues hang in there. It does work. It takes some of us a little longer. My goal was to at least get to this weight. I'll hang in here and eat like I do. Maybe a few more pounds will follow. Regardless, I can not express how much better I feel now than I did at 260.
