I don't suppose there's any real answer as such to this conundrum I find myself in, but I just need to vent.
When I first started seriously to try and loose weight last August I did relatively well and lost 16 pounds. Then I hit a plateau and then we had some family events, then xmas came along...I put everything back on.
It wasn't until about a month now that I realised that I really did have to start trying again. I was weighed then as 332 pounds at the doctors, then two weeks later after being proud as punch at sticking pretty well (though admitedly not perfectly) to my healthy eating regime, I was weighed at my dietician's and was the exact same weight.
The problem is my own scales at home only weigh up to about 330 pounds (sometimes if they're feeling generous they will go a little higher, if they're feeling tempremental it's lower) and so through this past month I've not been able to get a reading.
I don't know what's happening, whether I'm not loosing or whether I am just very small ammounts. I've no way of checking it. I'm sure that eventually I'll see results, but after a month of watching what I eat and counting my calories, it's pretty demoralizing not to see any progress at all.
Anyway, I don't know if anyone can give me any clues as to what I can do to shake things up or keep my brain on track. What kept me going last time was seeing the progress each week, now I'm stumbling blindly through and sometimes I just feel like...what's the point?
