oh, I remember the good ol' days when I could drop 11 pounds in 9 days...after losing 200 pounds though, it doesn't work like that anymore...but I do get lots of months when 3 weeks I get nothing, then it will be 5-7 pounds in the 4th week..sigh...maybe one day I will get there.

It happened to me many times in the past year.

I was stuck at 242 for the past 3 months. Just came from my doctor appointment and when stepping on the scale, it read 236. My home scale showed 240. I was once 375, so 236 is nice. I find it hard to believe that just 300 was 64 lbs ago.

Just keep an eye on it, dont get upset. Look at how far you've come and the hard work you did to get here. As long as you dont go up is what counts. Follow your diet, take your vitamins, drink lots of water and exercise. We'/re all behind you! YOU'RE DOING GREAT!

You're doing a fantastic job!
