i am feeling discouraged with my weight loss

[cleo29]

I am just stuck within a few pounds and it is driving me crazy. I am drinking more water, which is something I tend to forget, working out a lot. I am making better snack choices too. I am just annoyed that I am not seeing any progress.

And since I am talking about annoyances, my charming new thing of getting night sweats during the days leading up to my period sucks.

Think how far you've come!

I know. And I know I have added a fair amount of muscle, but I am just stuck. I need to look at my food diary and see what I am doing or what needs changing.

And thank you all for the words of encouragement.

I'm sorry, night sweats suck. My OB said that ambien can sometimes help with them if that's something you are open to trying.

The last few pounds are the hardest, sometimes its just a lot of trial and error to get the last few lbs off. Keep at it!

ETA:  Clarification:  Trial in error in changing up your foods and exercises till you find something that works.

Interesting about the ambien. I am willing to try it. It is definitely hormonally driven.

Have you taken your measurements lately? You could be losing inches, but not pounds. I know it's discouraging to not see the scale budge, but keep up the good work!
