Worrying About Plateaus (Loss Stallouts)
« on: February 27, 2011, 02:18:13 PM »
For those of us who obsess with what the scale tells us...

With the passing of my sister early this month, I've been reminded just how short this life is and to enjoy every moment of it to the fullest.

With that in mind, I decided from there on, not be too concerned if my weight stalled out at a certain point.
I would just stick to the FTS rules, and before long, the scale would start moving again... And it sooner or later, ALWAYS does!
In fact, I recently reported breaking the 50 pound loss mark this last week.

I realize that we all would love to wake up tomorrow morning and be at our goal weights.
That's just human nature... We want what we want. And we want it NOW!
We are sick and tired of being FAT and want to get rid of the FAT right away!
But the reality is, our bodies lose weight at their own rates.

Try to find the "rhythm" of your body on the FTS program.
I believe I have and am much happier and contented since I did!

Remember, we will be eating very much like this (while maintaining weight) for the rest of our lives.
So just enjoy the FTS lifestyle, and your body will lose that FAT naturally at it's own pace.

I agree too Tony & Jo!!  I know that if we stay the course even when we "think" we are stuck, things will eventually happen!  I hadn't lost anything this whole month, then finally last week the scale moved a whopping 2 ounces!  ha ha  Then as of this morning, I am down a total of 4 pounds this week! (4.2 lbs now for the month of February.)  If I had fallen off the wagon while on the plateau, I would have missed out on this GREAT week that was just around the corner!  I am staying on the FTS wagon no matter what!  :)

I agree.  I know this can work for me even though this week my scale moved up.  It will work because I now understand what happens in my body when i eat the way  I used to.     

I need to stay off my scale.  Hubby took it away for me...only to bring it back on Sundays!

I plateau about every three months. It's aggravating but then it stops and starts coming off again. As for the scale, Momx04 I love that your husband takes it...mine does that too. It's just so hard not to step on it everyday when it's right there taunting us. Ya for good husbands!!  ;D ;D

I think sometimes we just need to stop and pat ourselves on the back for our accomplishments.Think about how good you feel.The medications you have come off of.The years you have added to your life everyday as you get healthier and healthier. ;)
