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

ARGH.
I'm now considering maybe a 2-3 day Fast. Any thoughts on that?

Susan, you WILL lost again. I'm certain of it.

Rather than a fast, I'd recommend that you seriously consider a refeed
day. Go out somewhere and eat a great dinner -- eat 2500-3000
calories for the day or so. Then do a couple of days a little below
your 1600 average. Then got back to 1600. Seriously. This often
will get the weight loss started again. And even if it doesn't, an
extra couple of hundred calories isn't going to hurt you.

This is just how mine has been too. If you're interested, here's my
latest weightloss graph:

You'll see that I had many several-week periods at the same weight --
not long ago, 5 weeks at 191-192, then another 4 weeks at around 186.
If you look at just one of those little periods, it doesn't look very
impressive. But the overall chart ain't bad :-). Just keep keepin'
on!

I know how frustrating it can be when the weight just refuses to let go!
Have you tried drinking extra water, changing the type of exercise for a

few
days, cut back on carbs?

I find that if I have a day where I drink a lot of water (2-3 gallons in a
day) I see a more significant weight loss. OTOH if I drink a lot of diet
pop I retain like crazy from the sodium. Sitting in these workshops and
classes all week and driving distances I've been drinking water like it's
going out of style. Tonight however, I drank a 2-liter bottle of diet
ginger ale because it's one of my favorites and not carried by any of the
stores at home. I will be bloated tomorrow.

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.

Chris, I am like that, too. I stay one weight for a while - way to long and
then I lose more weight than should be possible in the course of a week. I
attribute it to the way my body handles fluids as I metabolize fat and work
my muscles.

Yup. I really like the Tanita scale that I have for that reason. Once
a week I check my BF% as well. When my weight has been staying the
same, it seems that my BF% goes down that same week. It's good to know
that "something is going on." :-) I mean, intellectually I know that I
haven't gotten off track or anything but it's still good to see that
show up in some number somewhere!

No. I'm not eating too much. I am logging everything as I faithfully
have been since June 15th. Same typical fare I have been eating since
June.. oatmeal.. chicken/beef..lots and lots of leafy greens and fruit.
0 refined sugar. 0 bread/potatoes.
I attempted to have a "healthy choice" frozen entree lastnight for the
first time and it was disgusting. Even my dog was hesitant when he got
the 3/4 of it I didn't eat. So having some ready made entree's is out if
they are those kind lol.
I know this is a long shot, but it has just occurred to me that alot of
LC dieters restrict sweeteners such as nutrasweet, equal etc because it
hinders their losses. I have been chowing on at least a pack of
"sugarless" gum(usually shared with my kids) each day since I quit
smoking. Maybe I am having too much?

Grasping I know.

You just stopped smoking. That's changed and slowed down your metabolism.
Remember how hard your poor little heart had to work when you smoked.

Give it a bit more time before you do something drastic.
