Frustrated as usual

So, I've lost a total of 1 pound over the past month. Go me? LOL!

A month of maybe 2 days over 1400 calories the rest 1100-1400 and 5 days a week of 60 minutes of exercise and I lose 1 whole pound. Yippie! Hip Hip hurray? Not exactly.

Since I started on March 2, I've had 3 plateaus. No I'm not gonna go look up the spelling for plateau.  The first one was 3-4 weeks, the second was 8 weeks and the most recent was another 4 weeks.  I guess I shouldn't complain. At least this time I lost a friggen pound.

So, over the past 28 weeks I've lost 33.6 pounds. That's OMG still average 1.2 pounds a week? Jeez. I thought it would be less than that and I could go to my Dr and complain and tell her I want to see an endocrinologist. Nope, not spell checking that word either.

Why does this seem like it's taking forever?  Why was I once able to lose 72 pounds in 9 months and now I can't lose more than a pound some months?

Nope. I don't like this.

Well I guess if I minus all the weeks where my fat gene said, "Lose weight? Me? Uhm NO. No way in hell. Never" I'm actually averaging 2.8 pounds a week. LOL I really stretching things huh?

I guess I should be happy that I'm still losing - if you can call it that.

I'm still doing South Beach - mostly phase 1 though I do have fruit and bread maybe 4x a week. No sugar. I haven't had sugar since July I think. Still, only 1 pound in a month? What's wrong with me? I seriously think something is wrong with me!

The sucky thing is that I supspect the more I lose the slower I'm gonna lose. How much slower can this go? Will I ever be normal? I'm approaching the weight I was for several years - what I suspect to be my bodies so called set-point. I'm wondering if my body isn't going to protest when I get there. Maybe a several month long plateau? Screw that. Maybe it's there that I'll have to turn to the pills/not eating thing. Just to get past it.

We'll see how it goes.
