Well done to all the losers!
WI today but scales are not promising any loss at all which is frustrating because I am being angelically good at the moment!:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Do you think we should have a title change to this thread?! Can we be heading for Spring now - so much more positive!0

Other half has hit her target after losing 4 and a half stone, we still behave most of the time just with the odd naughty meal now and then.
Had lamb shanks lastnight.

It might just be because you have lost so well the last 3 weeks, that your body is just adjusting a bit. I'm still newish to this but I do find a really good loss, is usually followed by a tiny loss or stay the same the next week.I have only just realised - I got my 6 stone shiny this week :j
Massive congratulations, that is amazing. :Tcyclingyorkie wrote: »Well done to all the losers!

Same here, W-I for me later, and it's not looking good despite me totally sticking to plan and having very low syns. I lost 3.5 pounds last week so I think my body is being stubborn now.0 -

Piglet I feel your pain - it's so demoralizing especially when you know you've stuck to plan. Remember that the female body works on a monthly program and not a weekly one!!! So look back at how well you've done over the month and try to think of it that way.
The only other thing I can suggest is to check that you're drinking enough water but cut back on it on weigh day as it does make a difference!Mediterranean Mum

thanks MM,
I do drink 2 / 2.5lts a day, and 1lt before weigh in,
i dont have periods cause i am on depo, but i do think that every month your body changes and thats why i have has a few 0.5lb losses and a STS at that stage of the month,
i am starting to wonder now if i should have left my in initial target where it was (12.12) instead of knocking a stone off it (to 11.12) but i will give it another month / 6 weeks and see if the losses have picked up, and if not, reset the target,
i think what shocked me the most was apart from being good, was that i was at my GP on friday, who weighed me, and i had lost 4lbs this wk, and she said i was fine as i was if i never lost anymore, tho at the mo, i do still think i might be able to shift another stone (the LAST one!!)
