the scale. I try not to step on it because I know this is what it does to me. My weigh in day is actually Monday morning, but I stepped on it today. Mistake. I am still at 235 pounds. I have not budged in about 2 weeks. I must be doing something wrong.
I feel like I am doing really well though. I keep within my points. I would say that I am 95% at logging my points, so I should be ok there. I have been working out. Just don't know. Maybe I need to look again at my points and really evaluate what I am eating.
There are certain "tricks" that work well for me. I know I am the type of person who has to to say no eating after 7 pm. However, there are days when I don't have enough points eaten yet. Maybe I need to start trying to take that into account and make sure to have all of my points before 7. My husband is a snacker at night and I could easily snack right along with him. That is part of what has gotten me to this size.
I am trying to look a the silver lining of the cloud. I have not gained weight and I am still doing well. It is just so frustrating that I have been working so hard and not seeing a payoff. You can't tell me it is a plateau either! I am 235 pounds, there is still plenty to lose.
Skinny vibes to all.

I dont think
you are at a plateau. Ugh I hate that word (lol)
How much water are you drinking? Maybe you should be drinking more...?
Is TOM coming soon. He can really mess with that scale.
I too try not to eat after dinner.
Maybe you arent eatting enough...your on points right? Not calories? Ummm...How often do you work out?
In theory if you are exercising, staying within your points and drinking plenty of water...I think you should be fine. Maybe your body is just taking some time to adjust. It wants to keep all of its little "fatty" buddies. But it cant keep them forever!
I think Brelee is right on with what she is saying. Your body may be adjusting. And I know this sounds crazy (I think so too), but have you considered that maybe you aren't eating enough? If you are excercising, are you adding activity points? If not, maybe you should. "They" say that when you don't eat enough or give your body enough fuel, it tends to hold on to what it does have because it thinks it's going to starve. So anyway, consider consuming your activity points if you're not already. And more water is always a great idea. Good luck! Stay strong and positive! Like you said, at least you're not gaining weight. :)
