Good things about stalling/slowing
It's been a GOOD thing for me that my weight loss slowed down, even if for
a little while it was driving me crazy. It forced me to take stock of my situation, and to remind myself that this is not a race to a finish line, it's a permanent change in the way I live my life. My stall was also good practice for maintenance. I had to keep doing low-carb, and keep up the exercise, without the external reward of seeing the number on the scale drop, which is exactly what you have to do in maintenance. I learned to appreciate my lifestyle for the intrinsic rewards like just plain old feeling better than I used to. Also, it was nice to be able to take a break from buying new clothes since I wasn't constantly shrinking out of them. ) -- Michelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. |

Why is it that so many people forget that they will have to buy several different wardrobes as they loose weight? It should be a duhhhh moment. Regards, Gunn |

Well, for me, clothes became a crapload cheaper once I got out of the damn big man's store! I could not believe the kind of ripoff prices I was captive to paying there. |

Why spend money on something that can be done in Excel? fitday's web service is free. does excel have a food database built into it? i've been using it for years and i've yet to see that little feature. |

I don't have anything to add, just that I *so* agree with this. -- As you accelerate your food, it takes exponentially more and more energy to increase its velocity, until you hit a limit at C. This energy has to come from somewhere; in this case, from the food's nutritional value. Thus, the faster the food is, the worse it gets. -- Mark Hughes, comprehending the taste of fast food |
