I have been between 184.0 and 183.2 for the last three weeks.I had a baby 1 year ago and for the longest time I couldn't lose any weight at all.in june 08 I joined a gym and still saw no change.on july 24,08 I started a food journal that following week I dropped 2.8lbs. I was losing 2 pounds per week up until three weeks ago.I am so frustrated! I really bust my butt at the gym and I eat well but it isn't getting me anywhere right now.I was well on my way to reach my goal of being my pre-pregnancy weight by Thanksgiving but now I don't think I'll make it! I want to cry because this is so frustrating.I measure myself and I have lost 1" in my hips,1.5" in my waist and 1" in my chest so I have made progress plus of course the 15lbs lost.I just hate seeing the scale stand still.The other day I said "I don't think if I lose 19lbs I'll look the same as before I had the baby" and my 13 year old said "You won't mom you're huge". out of the mouth of babes! Oh well I'm sorry I'm whining I just can't believe I hit a plateau so early in my weight loss journey.I'll try to be patient and stop feeling sorry for myself!
Don't worry! You're just starting out. Cut yourself a break and imagine how hot you'll feel just by changing your habits! If the weight needs to come off, it will in time. You are doing great!
Plus, teenagers are known for attitude and sarcasm. Disreguard your daughters comment, as I'm sure she didn't expect you to take it into serious consideration. Good luck!
