Hang in there Susan. You're doing an amazing amount of exercise, and your
body
is probably still trying to get used to not smoking.

I am in totally in awe that you have quit smoking and NOT gained weight. I
would have thought five or so pounds would have been forgivable. Forget
about frustration. You should be celebrating. And, yes, the weight will
come off in good time. Read what Det., et al wrote about re-feeds.

Have you been doing any measurements? waist size, etc? Are your clothes
getting looser? Maybe you're gaining some muscle?

I know it must be really frustrating to not see any change in the scale,
but
you are on the right path with what you're doing.

Well here it is Friday again. I give up, I am going to be 219 lbs for
the rest of my stinkin life at this rate. This is week FIVE of my stall
and I am sincerely frustrated and disappointed. I have done everything I
know to do to kickstart my weightloss again since I quit smoking and I
haven't lost one single lb. I haven't gained either and yes I know
that's a Good Thing(tm) - But working hard on the track to walk 5-6
miles each day and 3 miles on my bike each morning. Watching my
calories/intake carefully to stay under 1600 calories a day. You would
think that I would at least lose a single friggin POUND! ^%#@@!!#@ -
ARGH.
I'm now considering maybe a 2-3 day Fast. Any thoughts on that?
