Ok, what the heck!?

Stepped on the scales this morning and I am down another 2 lbs!!!!???
Not that I am complaining, but that is a little concerning to me as I
was *so* stuck at 219 for 5 weeks and now I am 211. What does this mean?

It means you rejoice and do a happy dance? )
Congrats!

Seriously, if you haven't drastically changed anything then don't worry
about it. Just like when you first started dieting you probably won't
continue to lose at that rate.

It means that I have found, and am keeping safe for you, your extra
pounds. Please let me know when you'd like them back, or if you know
anyone else who would like to claim them.

Seriously, congratulations! It happens sometimes--we plateau despite our
best efforts, and then for no apparent reason, the stall ends.
Congratulations on not getting frustrated and giving up because the scale
wouldn't budge--this is your reward!

scale this week (how many buffets can one city have???!?)

That's kind of how it works for me too. It's like your body is sort
of catching up with the way you've been eating. Just enjoy :-).

It means you are very happy! Congratulations. Elise.

That's why I refuse to get bent out of shape over a "stall". Even
though losing weight is a *positive* change, it *is* nonetheless a
change to which your body needs *time* to adjust.

I "stalled" (I don't even call it that, as I eat the way I do for other
reasons than a number on a scale - and given that my WOE has not stopped
making me FEEL good, it's not a stall staying at the same weight for
*months*. Then I gained a few pounds, lost them again, and stayed again
at the same weight for weeks. Now, I am slowly starting to lose again.

Whew

Actually, for myself, I don't even mind. I mean, I used to be over 250
pounds. So far I've lost greater than 70 pounds. I have 35-40 pounds
to go, and if that takes another 1-2 years, I am fine. Given that I've
no grandiose plans to celebrate my goal by eating an entire cake (LOL -
in other words I am eating this way FOR LIFE), the numbers on the scale
are not going to determine how I am going to eat, or feel.

It means your body has adjusted to your new weight level and the plateau is
over! Keep doing what you're doing!
