I gained 5 pounds, which puts me at 259. Exactly 5 pounds lost since Christmas, I feel like a total complete failure. Weight loss just isn't my thing. Definitely a time for a break.

Aimee, is weight loss really anyone's thing? I don't know of anyone that really loves doing this. Rather, I think we learn to love the way it makes us feel and look. What good does taking a break do? Isn't that the same thing as giving up? The only way you'll reach your goals is to keep trying....no matter how many times it takes...until you get it right.
Still no loss for three months in a row. I'm under a lot of stress which I hear can slow your metabolism but still 1500 calories a day and 5 nights a week at the gym should result in at least one pound gone right.
Beverly - you're rockin! Rhonda - glad to see you're back on track
Aimee, I know you're frustrated. And I know how hard this is. But just keep this in the back of your mind. One of my favorite quote that I've read here on 3FC goes something like this, "Losing weight is hard. Maintaining is hard. Being overweight is hard. Pick your hard." Dig deep - and know that this group is here for you
I weighed myself y'day. I'm back up to 187 (I had been down to 177 ever so briefly), which is where I was last summer. I'm trying not to be too down about it, but if I don't start losing soon, I'll have to look into WW (don't like counting points), Herbal Magic (cha-ching), or U Weight Loss Centre. *sigh* I've done so well on my own, but I think I may need a professional at this point.

If you are working out 5 times a week, you may need to up your calorie intake. I know it sounds strange, but I have heard others say that also.
