Plateaus

So, I talked about this a little bit already when I mentioned NOT weighing yourself every day.  This is a gradual process and you're not going to lose weight all of the time.  My most recent LONG plateau, ironically, was when I was at 99 lbs. just aching to hit that 100 lbs. lost mark.  Well, unfortunately, that plateau lasted 3 LONG weeks.  However, I still kept at it and took my measurements throughout it and lost a couple of inches in that time.  Once I hit the 100 lb. mark, I lost 3 lbs. the next week and 2 the next--so they do break, eventually.

It just requires a little bit of patience.  If you have quite a bit of weight to lose, you'll lose some very quickly at first--but it will slow down.  Do not give up---anything worth while will take effort and time.  This has taken me over a year and I still have 23 more lbs to lose to hit my goal.  Remember we're in this for the long haul and the longer it takes to lose the weight, the more likely you are to keep it off FOR GOOD!!!
