    i am so wishy washy...ggrrrrr!!!

    good morning friends! well i am the wishy-washiest gal you ever met. i have posted here and there and everywhere so those of you who have read them know......i am getting married in now 11 weeks! i STILL have 23 pounds to go. i CHEER the tape measure vs. the scale.....but....

    my name is betsy....and i am a scale-aholic

    here is the deal....i celebrate all these things. i feel better. i am enjoying the exercise. water is now second nature as is making good food choices. i know the book inside out. the watch e. got me for my b-day a week ago was not loose enough at the time to remove links now is. i shopped yesterday and easily zipped up the size 10. (in ONE style)...overall i feel good.

    but.....i have not dropped one ounce in over 3 weeks now. i just do not get it. i am playing by the rules. i understand stall but this is ridiculous. more water? more exercise? i am like the plan queen girl lately (jess calls it lifestyle girl)....i could be the atkins poster child but....i am not losing.

    i feel like a hypocrite for complaining about this when i tell others NOT to obsess over the scale but, well, here i am stressing about it. in 3 weeks i have to start the dress search seriously.....i am giving myself to the first of may to get results before i go and do that. PLEASE send any pointers my way you might have to start the scale a-moving once again.....this is slower than watching paint dry!!!!

    THANKS!

    Hey I lost weight my first month and then nothing for another 3 weeks! It is very normal. I think it's your body adjusting to the new way of eating. Just stick with it girl and you will succeed!

      Hang in there and the scale will probably drop quite soon... but it sounds like you're losing inches, which is terrific!
      If you're really worried, you could try posting a few menus in the Review My Menu section in case something needs a little tweak... though probably not, if your watch strap is anything to go by.

        Hey, don't feel bad. I got a ton of weight to lose and the scale is basically stop going down since 2 1/2 weeks. Since I'm much bigger, in my mind I should drop faster and it ain't happening. Think about having to lose 5-6x what you do and seeing others drop 30lbs+ in no time and you feel like you're spinning your paddles and going nowhere. lol.

        I want to take a gun to the scale and really show it.

          Hey I am getting married 1 week after you! I am also on a 20lb challenge. I am "wishy washy" as you call it lol! and have had so many "stalls" it is not funny! I think posting your menu is a great idea! maybe someone will see something you won't keep up the good job!

          Ohh just in case you did not know and so you do not become disappointed as I did.... wedding gowns run MUCH smaller! about 4 sizes! I know it is SAD!
          I"M BACK FROM ZERO TO HERO!

            thanks tracie! so you guys did not get blown away last week. that wind was awful!

            hiya sally! yea before it did not turn all the way round on my wrist so i did not wnat to take any links out. i like my watches loose but now it SPINS around and since the face has diamonds on it i do not want it to get scratched up...links are coming out

            hang in there confused. i don;t wanna come and have to post bail for you assaulting a scale.....but i KNOW the feeling....mine is abused on a regular basis!

            hi yani! my wedding story/details are in my goofy journal . tell me about yours! good for me i am not looking for a traditional wedding dress...it is a beach wedding. outdoors in laguna beach ...i know all about those wedding dress sizes...in fact that is also true for formals. i still like lyssie's idea of the duct tape dress (and julie mentioned a little number in saran wrap).....hey, they are adjustable!

                I hear you MIsplaced ! my scale hasnt budged for a few weeks now either .I am halfway to my goal and all motivated to chew up those last nasty kilos but things seem to be at a standstill. I can imagine with your wedding looming ( how exciting) you are feeling a bit pressured -- but your body obviously hasnt been told about the wedding because it is doing its own thing!!!! Hang in there .... sounds like even with the weight you have lost you will be a beautiful ,beaming bride ( can I be flower girl? i promise not to throw sand!!)

                      Keep avoiding the scale, cheering the measuring tape and take progress photos. What exercises are you doing? If you can spare the expense, time and daily dedication for 6 weeks, check out the beach body dvds.

                          I could understand your scale obsession if that was what determined how your dress fits, but you know very well it's not. Why the self-sabotage?
                          Going and trying dresses on is a great idea, and if sizing is all out of whack on the tags, then that's another thing to let go of. If the image looking back at you in the mirror is one that makes you happy, you can imagine your wedding day in that dress, then it's all good.
                          Relax~~you're doing all the right things.
