I think it's now safe to say

I've broken a 7+ week stall! I'm down 5 lbs in the past 6 days. I'm sure it will slow down again soon, but it's so nice to see that scale number drop again.

I've been doing M&E since last Thursday, but plan to return to Atkins OWL tomorrow. I've also kicked my exercise up a notch since school let out (I'm a teacher) and am walking 2 miles in the mornings as well as my normal low-impact aerobics in the evening.

I thought this morning as I was walking that being excited about the scale reading 235 is about like being excited to see the gasoline price drop to $3.09. I think only members of the TDC can possibly understand why I feel like singing at the top of my lungs. This also brings me back to only 15 lbs away from my low the first time I did LC, so I'm seeing the light at the end of the "losing what I regained" tunnel.

Thats awesome. What a great feeling to break that stall -- wishing you many more visit from the whoosh fairy in the weeks/months to come.

Keep on trucking.

That is great! And congrats on sticking it out through that seven weeks!

Thanks Bob & Val--the two of you have no idea how much it helps to see your success.

Pam, you have shown such great preserverance through the last 7 weeks. I'm so glad that the M&E helped you break the stall. Congrats on all the exercise you've been doing. It won't be long until you get there!

[kathleen24]

Wow--that is so exciting to be that close to the breakthrough point--a new low makes it seem `really-really-real' . . .

This is a great example of perseverance and courage. WTG,GF!

Good deal! Congrats!

Congratulations! I can't wait to get that close to "losing what I regained". I'm about half way through, so can really appreciate what this means to you.

Good for you for sticking with it!

[CaseyZee]

Good for you Pam. I'm impressed with your ability to stick to it for 7 weeks in the face of an uncooperative scale. I bet you feel great!

Good stuff Pam, and holy cow! (a real low carber expression I might add) our weight is so similar.

I'm 15 pounds since the lowest low carb adventure too!!

Let's push on!!!

Sing it out, sister!
Way to kick that stall in the tail!

[MizKitty]

Pam, that's the best feeling when the scale starts moving! Way to go!

[Kandra]

That's wonderful!!! WTG!! :thup: I'm so glad that M&E worked so well for you!

[OtherCher2]

Congrats on breaking your stall. Now send the whoosh fairy over here for a couple of days...

[CNYMom]

Congratulations! :cheer: I know how great it feels when the scale starts moving again (and in the right direction, too!) I love M&E :)

WTG! :thup:

It's great that you've been able to start losing. Remember this the next time you stall (and you *will* stall again...) - it eventually ends. Working to control the things you can control - what you eat, whether or not and how much you exercise - is all that you can do. The scale takes care of itself, at its own pace. So long as you keep your plan clean, you're doing great. :)

I've given her strict instructions that she's to come directly to your house when she leaves here--but you know that whoosh fairy--she has selective hearing.

[BayouBecky]

WAHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic news!!!

[Kandra]

I've given her strict instructions that she's to come directly to your house when she leaves here--but you know that whoosh fairy--she has selective hearing. .LOL....and she's blind as a bat, too. I put a picture of her doing her whooshy thing to me in my siggy. At first I thought she was ignoring me but now I think that *&^ is blind!

Congrats and keep going! Whoosh away!! Lynn
