Hey everyone! Happy (almost) New Year. I know we all have goals and mine is to get to my goal (even if it takes more than the year 2020). I pinched a nerve in my neck but I'm walking and even doing some classes, but I can't lift weights yet because of that. I can't fathom it, with the pain, and even doing what I am doing can be tough sometimes. I've lost a LOT since July (most of it on my own, pre-surgery) and now I've hit my first real stall. I've added the exercise and I haven't cheated even once on the diet. I have been cleared to regular food as of yesterday. I am changing it up. I know I'm losing inches and I'm not a slave to the scale, but it wouldn't hurt to see the stupid number move, as I'm 5 lbs. away from losing the first 100 (I was very heavy, so I'm still not going to be near goal, even with that). I'm happier, healthier, off meds, but, like everyone else, I want the number to move. I'm trying not to stress it, because I know that makes it worse. So, my question - what do you all do to make that number on the scale move. I like different ideas anyway.

Please share. Thank you!!!

You know you are right around the 3mo mark. I think if I remember, I had a heller stall around month 3? Make sure you are making your protein goals hon. ((hugs)) And make sure you are really drinking your Water. No doubt the pain has your cortisol levels up which jacks with insulin which you know what that means...less weight loss. Hang in there!!

I am good with my water intake. I seem to hit or exceed that goal daily. I am not always the best with my protein goal, but I've made that a bigger priority. The scale did move today. .6 Lbs - I'll take it!

Happy New Year! Thank you for all you post. I read your comments all the time. You're an awesome inspiration!
