Is it too early to call it a plateau?

This week I only lost .2 pounds from last week.  And ever since Tuesday, the scale has not budged!  That's pretty unusual for me, at least so far.  I'm worried that this is the start of a plateau.  I even increased my exercise to try and kick things up a notch, but the damn scale still won't budge!  I had hoped for a good loss this week, but I'm not holding my breath!  Especially with going out of town this weekend, too.  Just wish I could get things moving again!  I thought increasing the exercise would do it...I really did.  And maybe my body just has to adjust.  

Either way, I know I should focus more on the activity and eating better than on the number on the scale.  But I really wanted to be below 220 by the time I go in for my PAP at the OB's office.  Last time I was there, I still weighed in the upper 250's, so I wanted to be much better this time around.  

Maybe I'll see a big decrease in measurements.  That's really the most important thing anyway.  No one except me and the doctor will actually know the number on the scale, but if I'm trimmed down and not so lumpy, I'll be able to wear smaller clothes.

Struggling once again

Down to 227 even.  I was 226.4 but then gained some back over the weekend, and was 227 for my official weigh-in on Tuesday.  I need to get my butt in gear again.  

I got the results of my bloodwork back.  Everything is good except my bad cholesterol is 110.  Should be 100 or less.  So they recommended increasing my exercise.  After telling them that I do 5-6 days a week for 30 minutes a day, they told me I should do 50+ minutes 5 days a week!  Ugh!!  So I'm trying to increase my exercise a bit.  I'm doing 3 days of cardio, 45 minutes.  Then 3 days of strength training and trying to do 20-30 minutes of cardio those days too.  I don't know if I'll be able to sustain this all the time but I'm going to try.  Also hoping the increase in exercise will also help kick start the weight loss again.  

I have 2 months until the beach (2 months and 1 week) and I'd wanted to be below 210 for that.  That would be an ambitious goal for me now, but now I'm saying maybe 215 by then.  I really wish I would see some improvement in my arms by then!  My arms are atill so flabby!  If they weren't, I would be more comfortable wearing tank tops.  Still debating using those It Works wraps just for the beach.  We'll see.
