I have been stuck at the same basic weight for the past 6 months. Someone said, "There is not plateau, you just get lazy or stop caring." I do not agree at all! Even though the scale has not really moved, I am losing shirt and pant sizes and still making progress. But I still want the scale to move DOWN! I am not afraid to ask for help, so I have and here is some of what I was told. I need to become a "natural" eater. I need to "accept" that I may be at my comfortable weight; not everyone is skinny.
I will not accept this and I do not understand what half of all of this means. One thing for sure, none of this weight loss stuff even makes sense any more. I spoke with my doctor on Friday and he is so happy with my progress and he does feel I am in a dangerous and vulnerable position to go back to old habits so he spelled some things out for me. What is happening in natural and normal. My body might be comfortable right now but it will not stay at this place and I need to continue to work hard. He drew out this diagram to help my understand.
There are really big words he threw in which I not going to attempt to spell but there are things going on in my body which will try and put the weight back on. The first 6 to 18 months were easy and the weight came of fast. It will come of slower from here on but it will come off! Just do not go back to where I was!
OK: Short term goal...
249 pounds by March 9, 2015
What should my long term goal be? 225? 200?
Shoulder is an issue right now! Hope I can get past this!
Check back and I will try and keep posted on what is happening!
