Plateaus
I am at a plateau of 237 lbs. I have been weighing this for 2 weeks. I have been walking everyday and sticking to my low carb diet, but every morning I am still at 237 pounds! I feel a little discouraged but I am trying to be positive and congratulate myself for the 27 pounds I am lighter. I am in virtually every challenge, and am hoping to be at, or very close to 200 for January 1, 2009, but this plateau has been slowing me down.
Being a diabetic, I look at the whole picture. Yes, I am stuck at the same weight, but my blood glucose numbers are doing great, and I have dropped a size in my clothing, and I feel so much better! It must be good as my endocrinologist went around his office telling everyone I was morphing and he called me “mildly diabetic”, and was just thrilled with my “excellent” numbers on my labs. So, I guess if this is what it’s about being on a plateau, I surely can’t complain!!! I have faith that if I keep doing what’s working for my health, then of course I will be weighing in one morning and the scale will actually say 236!!!!

You are getting healthier and healthier. Good for you. Eat 200 calories more one day and 200 calories less the next. Of the good stuff of course. Keep your body guessing. Log carefully. Week calories will be the same but you will confuse your bod into losing. Look at your nice graph!!!!
Good luck

Twenty-seven Pounds.
27 pounds!
Stacey those are REAL numbers. Great job!
Be patient and keep up the good work. Your efforts are all going towards building a better, stronger, healthier you. Nothing you’ve been doing has been wasted.
You really should be very proud of yourself for the 27 lbs! That is amazing..not to mention how well your labs came out! You go girl!
Sometimes plateaus can be overcome by drinking more water. I was reading a ladies blog the other day and she has already lost 100+ lbs. She said thats the only way she ever got past her plateaus. it could work for you too!
Yes, 27 pounds compared with the weight gain last year and not moving at all! Look at you Stacey, you are also losing inches.
Thanks for being such a good buddy. Walk on!
Yeah! Stacey! You’re blogging, alright! I am so proud of your success sista! Keep walking, keep smiling, keep blogging!
You’re doing great!
I thank everyone for their advice. Since a new month is beginning I am going to up my walking and really pay more attention to my eating as I think I have been sliding a bit and probably eating too many calories. Thanks!
I have 1 more pound to reach my mini goal! I got to 236, and 235 will be my mini goal. So, I can’t really complain about anything! I am grateful not to be in the 260’s or 250’s anymore, and even the 240’s!!!! So, I am feeling pretty happy.
