I have been about the same weight for over a month now... I could scratch my head and wonder what is going on, but I know what it is... snacking... in the afternoon and evening... At least I am pretty sure that is the culprit... I need to figure out how to keep myself in balance from 4pm to 9pm each day... Not grazing on one small piece of candy, and then a cookie, and then dinner, and then a bit later another piece of candy and then another little bite, and then my normal "before bedtime" protein drink and whatnot... All of that has got to be throwing my blood sugar off in the evening... And doing so keeps my body from being in "harmony" to be able to release stored fats to be burned up as energy...
The plus side of all of this is that I am maintaining... that is a big deal... I have lost over 40 lbs and am staying at that weight - but I am ready to make more progress... So I guess it is about making the CHOICE to put my mind over my matter - have my normal afternoon snack, dinner, and later my evening snack - and not all the other things in between...
How do I plan to do this?
Keep busy - workout, visit with the kids, not have stuff at an arms reach to be able to have, plan out my snack for later and set a timer for when it will be time to have that snack and stick to it...
Lots of ideas, I just need to DO IT!
Like yours, my scale is stuck! My issue is not my intake, that hasn't changed. Hope both our scales get on with the program - and SOON!
