 Re: This is going slow Stacy, forget the scales! If your clothes fit loose, if people are noticing your losses, then you're losing! I've had problems with the scales just looking at me, like, "What, I'm supposed to go down for you?" But when I look in the mirror, I see my face thinner, I'm starting to see collar bones, my jeans are looser, I know I'm losing. So, ignore the scales for the time being. Let your tape measure be your new friend. Keep hanging in there. You can do it!  |

| Re: This is going slow Babybluejay posted this last year, I copied it and put it on my wall at work and when I feel like I am spinning my wheels, it helps put it all in perspective, might help here to post again: Losing Weight is Not a Race - It's a Hike Many dieters quit dieting because they don't lose weight fast enough. Fast enough for what? Comfort (?) Makes no sense, does it? Surely it's LESS COMFORTABLE being overweight. Surely it's LESS COMFORTABLE giving up and then having to start over again. THE POINT There's no time limit on losing weight. Losing weight is NOT timed. - Races are timed. - Exams are timed. - Voyages into outer space are timed. - Factory shifts are timed. - Weight-loss isn't. TAKE A HIKE Weight loss is like a long hike. You walk a few miles, then take a rest. You carry on for a while. Then maybe you check-in to a hostel or camp-site. The following day you continue your hike, and so on until the end. Sure, you have a rough estimate of how long it's going to take. But if it takes a little longer than planned, you don't just quit. KEY QUESTION Suppose you have 40 pounds to lose. Suppose you plan to do it within 4 months. But suppose it actually takes you 6 months. Is this so bad? Hope everyone is doing and feeling well and if not get back on the trail after your rest;-) Carolyn

| Re: This is going slow DON'T GIVE UP!!! After losing 70 pounds since March, the scale has only jumped up and down a few pounds for the last month. HOWEVER, I have been getting a new crop of compliments AND I have dropped another size, without losing a pound! Crazy but it's working! If your clothes feel loose, enjoy that feeling. Maybe use a tape measure and measure your belly, thighs, upper arms so if you are experiencing the same thing, you may just be losing inches but not pounds. Are you exercising? You might be trading fat for more muscle.
