Wow, maybe it'll snow in Santa Rosa, Nikki! If it's that cold with precipitation. It snowed in Davis once or twice in the 22 years I lived there.
We are entering a cold spell here, too, for us.... in the low 20's F. at night.

Sunny, blue skies with big fluffy clouds, perfect temperature .... I walked 3.4 miles. I may even hit the treadmill on my break. I am so tired of not seeing the scale MOVE! I eat so healthy, I walk every day (except once in awhile I don't walk) and ..... nothing.

I would assume part of that weight retention are the drugs. Was for me, took forever to get it off. Keep at it!

I would feel SO much better if the number would just move. At the very least to get rid of the extra Prednisone weight. Then, I can just look at trying to lose the other weight that I had to lose. Argh

Hi Nikki,
I feel your pain. Still holding at the same weight for almost a month and disappointed about it. Probably not getting to the Y much this week. Wife is overnighting at her Mom's tonight with our only operating car. (Convertible is in storage.) We're under a winter storm warning starting tomorrow afternoon. Local weather guy says we could get 8" tomorrow night and Wednesday. Have I mentioned that I hate winter???

I have lost weight. Not in a bad way; I've been eating OK and getting a fair amount of exercise. Especially from my firewood gathering projects. But the weight stays in that one place, around the middle. It's got to be pred weight and maybe "wheat belly", though I've reduced my wheat intake somewhat. I've got my pred down to 7mg./day and heading for 5mg. I seem to be having less problem than I did around 8-10mg.
We are expecting temps in the teens at night later this week. That kind of cold, while not quite what you've had, Pete, could cause me more stress and cause trouble with the pred taper. Based on past experience. Did I mention I hate winter, too?

Losing weight does take some time. Longer for some than others. Your internal thermostat needs to be reset and, once your body figures out that this is the new routine (more exercise consistently along with fewer "bad" calories) it will make the adjustment. This is why many people re-gain weight after dieting, their body has not made a permanent change. Once regular exercise becomes part of your lifestyle you will see the change but again, it can take time. Remember, the biggest benefit to regular exercise is improved health and energy; weight loss will come eventually. I have found that when my activity level increases (spring and summer) I will not lose any weight for a few months and then all of a sudden I start to drop weight once my my body figures out..."hey...this is for real"!
On another note, its -35C here in Jasper today.
Stay active and all sorts of good things will happen but be patient and don't give up!

I am sending to you and to my other freezing friends some sun and warmness from Israel. eventough it is considered to be winter, most of the time it is sunny here. (after that the gov will claim that we don't have enough water and raise the prices of water, but this is another story).
stay warm. keep on exercising.

Rest in Peace, my brave Batman and take care of your weggies from heaven, until we meet again.
I would like to point out that we are well aware that it is much colder in Canada than most places in the US. The reason we are as low as -10C. in Olympia, WA is that cold air from Canada is colliding with warmer air coming in from the Pacific Ocean. Under no circumstances are we going to feel warm or comfortable at -10C just because it is -34C somewhere else! I do appreciate, though, your sharing the weather conditions up there, as it does put things into perspective, even though it doesn't make me feel any less cold.
