If I round to the nearest pound, I've been stuck at the same weight for 11 days. I've moved (both up and down) by anywhere from .2 to .8 of a pound but the average over the past 11 days is 'oh, oh, oh'. No change. If I was in my maintenance stage, I would be ecstatic. But, since I still have such a long way to go, I'm not so happy.
About 2 months ago, I stopped tracking everything I ate. When I was tracking my food, I was counting calories, fat, carbs, protein, water, etc. For 6-7 weeks after I stopped tracking, I continued making really good progress. Now, I've plateaued. I'll give it till after Christmas. If I'm still level (or if I've gained - please no!) by my next check-in, I think I'll go back to tracking every thing I eat. I feel like I'm being very careful. I'm basically eating the same foods and I'm still carefully measuring portions. Maybe I'm just not keeping track closely enough in my head. We'll see. I will go back to tracking, if that is what it takes, but I'd prefer not to do that. I don't see me tracking and journaling for the rest of my life. I was using that as tool to learn my eating habits, to learn which foods I could eat in which quantities, and what foods to just plain stop eating.
I'll be away from home, after today, until the end of the day Monday. So, if I check in here, it won't contain weight loss/gain numbers.
