6 months out

I know it is normal but I have been fighting the same pound up and down for 2 weeks now. I haven't lost as fast as some but I am not doing too bad. At least I don't think so. Just needed some encouragement and figured what better place to come then here with people who know how it feels 

Totally understand. I am 7 months out and keep fighting the same pounds up and down for the last 2 months. I have increased my protein and reduced my carbs these last few days. Been walking A LOT also.

I'm right there with you! 

I know it is because of my behavior changes.  I think as we get further out it gets harder in a couple of ways -- 1) we have less to lose, so our bodies rebel a bit & 2) we are not quite as motivated.  

Here's to a week of solid work w/ great results :)

I've had a few periods like that as well.  It's a drag.  

But I use TrendWeight (the link is in my sig below) and it really helps to keep me sane.  Even when I've had those annoying times, my trend is always going down, so it helps to keep me motivated.  :)

Oh my gosh.  I am glad I am not the only one.  These two pounds keep me insane.  I lose them and then gain them right back.  I do admit that I have not been particularly great in my eating, but I shouldn't be gaining weight.  I have refocused and will...WILL get these two pounds off for good.  :)

My weight loss has always been lose a few then plateau, then gain a bit.  But it always falls eventually.  so hang in there.  If you stick to the plan, and eat less calories than you need, you'll lose weight, regardless of the number on the scale that day.

I just stalled for four weeks in this pattern, and today I was down 5 pounds.  You just got to keep the faith.  It works.

Yep, I am in this boat too. 6 months out.... My thing is I don't lose for 3 weeks, then drop 4-5. In that three weeks I may go up one or down one but it doesn't stick till week 4 when *POOF* all of a sudden I drop 4 or 5. I certainly have nothing to complain about but long gone of the days of weekly losses.....
