My weight loss has slowed, I am discouraged and looking for advice?

Asked by hug_of_war (10735points) May 28th, 2011

I have lost 35 pounds since August, the healthy way, at a steady rate without much trouble. Now I am 10 pounds from a normal BMI. But I haven’t lost even a two-tenths of a pound in 2+ weeks. I have tried upping my protein, upping and changing my exercise, lowering my calories, I am sleeping better than ever, yet still the scale doesn’t budge. I pretty much want to throw it across the room every morning when it says 148.8.

I am seriously de-motivated, it is hard to keep eating healthy when the scale gives me nothing. I am ugly and still have a huge tummy so I don’t really feel better by thinking about how far I’ve come. I am just really, really frustrated and I know eating healthy is great but nothing will be as good for my health as a normal weight.
