I don't understand how my body loses weight. I stall for up to 2 weeks at a time and lose NOTHING and then in a matter of a couple days I'll lose 2-3 pounds all at once. Doesn't make sense to me. Hey, I'm glad for the loss. I was doing good at exercising and then injured my hip yesterday. You know you are getting old when all you have to do is stretch and you pull a muscle. All I can think is that my muscle in my left hip was tightened up because of the increase activity and swimming that I've been doing. When I was running errands yesterday my hip was hurting so I tried to stretch and rub it out and felt a tearing in my hip and it hurt really bad for a few minutes. I limped all day yesterday and chose to stay in today and rest the hip. It feels better, but is still sore. I thought I would have a big bruise on my hip, but nothing showed up. It's frustrating when simple exercises are causing me injuries. I'll have to talk with my doctor about this when I see him at the end of this month and see what he thinks. Maybe I should stick to simple walking in short periods of time? I could walk the dogs. They would love that.

My life style change is getting a little easier, but I still have my tough times. I seem to not be as obsessed by the scale anymore. I still weight myself a couple times a week, but don't freak out with the fluctuations. I've accepted that as a normal woman thing. People at work are starting to notice my weight loss. I tend to lose weight in my face first and that's why it shows. I plan to take a new picture of myself at Thanksgiving and I will post it for everyone to see. As of today I've lost 36.4 pounds.

The times you are not losing weight is because you maybe losing inches. Have you been measuring yourself as you go? I know when my weight stalls like that it's because I had a huge inch loss that week. 36.4 lbs is AWESOME - way to go girl!!! When it comes to exercising - I am finding that same issue (when you get older thing lol), I have found if I don't do a nice warm up and stretch before my exercises and also stretch afterwards, I pay dearly with my hip and SI joint. Can't wait to see the pics!!!

I've found the same thing..lose nothing for a while then drop a bunch. As long as it keeps going down. If you can maybe look into a person trainer...someone who can help you through learning how to excercise without hurting anything. You don't want an injury to put you on the couch.
