Is My Stall Over?

I am crossing my fingers in a desperate hope that it is.

AF, finally arrived a WEEK LATE!!! I have no idea why, but since veteran WLS people say this is normal, then I will go with the "it's normal" line. I know hormones are all out of whack still, but things like this frighten me since I really would like one more baby, but I am 34 and already have 7 children. Still after I miscarried in Aug '08 I still have my baby blanket fabric and notions for that final baby blanket. I look at it everytime I open the linen drawer and hope that one day I will have a viable baby to make it for. {{{SIGH}}}

Ok enough with all that.

So, on Sept 22nd I reached the 100lbs milestone. Then on Sept 26th I reached my lowest weight of 220.2lbs. Then . . . . .nothing.

My weight fluctuated between 221 and 224. I was frustrated and even a little depressed. I figured it was just water weight for PMS'ing, thinking AF would come soon. So I waited, and waited, and waited. I took several pregnancy tests, all negative, just to make sure. On Tuesday Oct 15, I finally gave up, thinking AF just wasn't going to come. I think that relaxed me enough, because the next day AF arrived. WHEW!!!

Now I am on the down turn again it seems. Tonight before I head off to bed, the scale read 220.6 lbs. I am fairly certain it won't go below 220 in the morning, just because I want it to, ROFLOL. That always seems to be the case. If I really, really, really want the scale to move down, just a few points. . .it won't. Just to spite me, it doesn't move.

I am just really excited to see 219 on the scale soon. I am also REALLY hoping to hit 216 by Friday. That is my goal right now.

Of course the next goal after that is 206 and then 199 or even 196 would be nice, by Thanksgiving. But seeing as I had a 3 week stall recently, I expect I'll have another stall and probably won't be below 200 by T-Day like I want. But we shall see. Perhaps I will hit a stride and drop 20lbs in 5½ weeks; but I will not hold my breath too hard on it.

So stay tuned to see if my stall is finally over or not. And for me, I deem a stall over if I can get 2-3lbs below. (For example I like to be at 217 or 218 instead of 220; or 207 or 208 instead of 210, does that make any sense?)
