Hi Yes, I have the same issue. I was never a big eater, never ate breakfast, sometimes skipped lunch and would only have dinner. Everyone told me you have to eat 3 or more meals a day. I now eat at least 3 meals a day and healthy. I watch my intake and I exercise regularly, yet I cant get out of this rut. When we go out to dinner, very rarely will I have a glass of wine - it is so frustrating but even though the weight is not dropping, I do feel that I am getting in shape, my clothes fit better and I feel better. Hang in there! Report Inappropriate Comment |

Be patient....it's coming!! May I suggest walking? This is what really helped me take off, just plain ole walking! Buy yourself a pedometer, and start out with 7000 steps a day. Then make your way up to 10,000 then 12,000...do this every day, and watch those inches melt away!

Hello, I had the same problem last week. I was told that it was water weight, that also may be the reason that you are not seeing the scale move. I know it is difficult when you are doing everything that you are supposed to do and the scale doesn't move. Continue to think positive and give it a little more time and your water weight will balance itself out. It took about a week for my scale to move but it was worth being patient. Stop by my page and add me as a friend, I would love to have you as mine! Good luck!

Hectic only touches the surface of what my week has been. I've been so busy this past week. I let my job go. I began the steps to return to school. I scheduled all my exit exams with my doctors (my health insurance will expire at the end of the month). I attended vacation bible school all week and bible study on Tuesday. I went to my mother's house every day to tend to her daily needs and met her physical therapist on Mon and Thurs. I met her visiting nurse on Thursday also. In addition to all that, I went back each night to give mom her night meds at 10pm. I was so busy that I forgot to take my meds for four days. I wondered why I was feeling sluggish and off. I barely exercised. I made healthy food choices though. I grilled chicken and veggies and ate leftovers most of the week. I drank my water daily. I was just frazzled and run down at the end of each day. I need to go shopping for next week's groceries today, but instead here I sit with my exhausted self blogging. I better get off my duff and start jogging. Next week will be better. I will do better with my meds. I will let my siblings do more for my mom. I will still make my personal obligations at my doctor visits and at church. I will schedule time to exercise - I feel so much better when I do my cardio and strength training. I will not quit! I will not give up! I will endure! I will survive! I've worked too hard to not see this journey to the end.

I twisted my back while trying to assist my mom into her wheel chair today. My back is hurting so bad. I'm restless and irritable. It's been a tough Thursday for me.
I once heard someone say people and things come into your life for a season. You may need some people for a season. God places people and things into your life for a distinct purpose. You are not to hold on to things or people longer than their use. Once something or someone expires you most let it go. This weekend I had to let a so-called friend go her separate way. She (A) was causing unnecessary stress in my life. She called me with some petty mess that she exaggerated into a full blown mess. She took an innocent misunderstanding to another level which caused me (B) and another person (C) to get upset. I was mad, the other person was mad, the devil was rejoicing and she (A) caused other innocent individuals to get caught in the cross fire. I had to step back and pray before I approached this person. We (B and C) stepped away from the crowd and talked. We found out that we were on the same page and the person in the middle (A), the instigator, had some unresolved issues with her (C) and didn't like the two of us (B and C) agreeing. This isn't the first time she (A) attempted to tear apart another of my friendships. I'm just sorry it took me this long to see how manipulating she (A) could be. She (A) is controlling, insecure and unhappy with herself. I told her (A) if she can't bury the hatchet with this lady (C) and let go of her hostility, that I would give her (A) the gift of goodbye. She chose the gift. It's not important how many people you have on your side; It's important that you have the right people on your side. God and you are a majority. Sometimes you must let go and let God fill the void. This is how I feel about my weight loss. I must let go of some bad habits to make room for my blessings. Goodbye my friend, hello to a happier, healthier, new attitude and a new lighter me. I haven't lost as much weight as I would have liked since joining SP, but I have gained lots of wisdom and insight. I'm making room in my life for greater things. I may have lost a friend, but I gained a family. 
The scale isn't moving. I'm getting frustrated. I drink my water. I make healthy food choices. I watch my portions. I'm more active - I walk at least three times a week. I mow my own lawn and trim my own hedges. Why won't the scale move? I have to weigh in next week and I'm not looking forward to it at all. I don't want to hear my skinny nutritionist tell me how disappointed she is that I didn't loose enough weight. I don't need to pay anyone to tear me down. I've been journalizing my food and exercise but I don't see a reason why the scale isn't moving. I know I should be grateful the scale isn't creeping upwards, but why am I working extra hard to see no results? I began eating breakfast again. I'm not a breakfast food person. I love my fruits and veggies. I've replaced turkey for beef burgers. I want the numbers on the scale to go down. I want the dress size to go down. I won't quit the battle, but I need some ideas on dropping those numbers. I'm definitely dropping the skinny nutritionist. I can use that extra money for the new clothes I'll be buying to replace my current wardrobe. I feel better all ready now that I got that off my chest. Thanks for listening to me babble on and on.
