Bump

I didn't have a stall at week 3 like everyone told me I would. I am currently stalled though and have been for about a week and a half.

Had a follow up appointment with my Nut on Friday and she suggested that I eat more and to drink more. I'm supposed to email her on Friday and tell her if the scale is moving for me. The whole being stuck thing is kinda frustrating but it is what it is, not gonna stress about it. Just wish it would have waited a few weeks since my 20 year reunion is at the end of next month. Would be nice to be able to buy a dress and know it will still fit when it's time to wear it!

I stall a LOT. I think I stall for half the time, and the other half of the time, I lose little bits. During my first 90 days, I spent 39 of those in sold stalls.

Despite that, I've gone from a size 18/20 in jeans to 12/14 and from a 2x to a L in tops in 4 months. So I guess it's going to come off, just not according to my preferred pace. The first two times I freaked even though I understood what was happening. Now I'm like, meh. Whatever.

I mean, what would I change anyway? I'm already doing what I should.

I spoke to soon! Currently in my first stall. Haven't lost an ounce this last week.

I'm tryn to be calm....and am for the most part. HA Woke up this morning and weigh the same as last Wednesday.

Good news is my anger has decreased over this last week also so at lease I'm not Pissed about it on top of everything

I had my surgery Nov 6, which tomorrow makes 3 weeks...and have been stalled for then past two weeks! So irritating! I know my BF % has gone down a lot because I measure with an Omron machine weekly. But still...! I go see my surgeon next week and hopefully will be past this!

I have an Omron as well and those things tell the real story.....not the scale. The scale will eventually move for you, trust in that. But if the Omron is showing you progress now, you're doing it right. Keep it up.

Are you all talking about the handheld one that looks like a video game controller! There's one at my gym that I like to use.

Yep....that's what I have. I had mine measured yesterday by the trainer with the calipers, and the number she got was very close to my Omron. I'd still like to get measured by one of those bod pods. They are very accurate.

My trainer did the calipers too and it was really close as well. He told me that you have to be well hydrated to get a good reading, but that's not too difficult these days.

What the heck is an Omron? I must google!

Ok, I googled.... how does that thing measure body fat if you're holding it in your hands?? Interesting.

It sends electrical impulses I believe through your body as you hold it. Some kinda weird magic.
