Change It Up, or Stick It Out?

Today was my official weigh-in day for the Biggest Loser contest I'm in.  After being 258.2 earlier this week, then 259.8 later in the week, I landed at 259 even this morning.  Still down 1.6 pounds from last week, but I have to admit I was really hoping I would be somewhere in 258.  I did well with my eating yesterday, too!  Down is down, though, so trying to keep my head up.  And I've lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks, so that's a good average.

Someone on one of my pregnancy boards was saying that not eating enough calories makes hour body hold into everything it does get. And thank you, ma'am, now I'm paranoid that I'm not eating enough!  I'm wondering if I should try varying it a bit - maybe eat a little bit more and see if it gets the scale to move.  On the other hand, the scale IS moving, just not as quickly as I'd like...and I'm not sure that's a good reason to change things up right now.  Maybe I need to just keep doing what I'm doing for a bit longer and see what happens.  

I wish that losing weight was easier and more standard for everyone!  Every body varies so much, and it is really difficult to figure out what works for me...it may take time but I feel like that time is wasted if something doesn't work.  

I think part of the reason I feel that time is wasted is because I want to see results immediately!  I have time frame goals, and I want to reach them or get close in those timeframes.  Maybe that's not a healthy way to look at it.  I keep thinking of the saying, "You didn't gain it all overnight, so you won't lose it all overnight."  I hate that saying!  But there may be some truth to it.  As with everything, maybe I need to spend some time trying various things to see what works for me.  

I hate that idea!
