:lol: Im at 284 also and I bet everyone feels the same way! But everyone can go to the "gettings out of the 270s" if there is one!

I'm still stuck in the 280s! I was SO close at the end of January when I hit 282, but I got off track in February and it brought me up to 286. I went back on plan Tuesday and intend to stick to it, so we'll see how it goes!

280.2 lbs today! :carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot:

We can do it ladies!!! Last one to the 270's is a rotten egg haha :dizzy:

Down to 283.2! To be there weren't more days left 4days left of this month and 3.2pounds to lose that would be hard haha

Congrats ThinningVegan!! :D

@taliee
you can do it! just stick to your plan!!

I feel miserable, my weight is coming off SO slowly. And while I know 1) I have gone off track for an evening here and there and 2) slow weight loss is still weight loss, I can't help but think, I started this journey almost 6 weeks ago, and the weight should be coming off faster.

I know I have gone off track, but on the whole, I am eating SO much better, and more consistently than I was prior to starting my weight loss journey. As well I now drink at least 2litres of water a day (from NO water before) and I am also working out now, when I was very sedentary before.

I think I am going to be in this group for at least another 4 weeks...sigh.

@OhMyDogs

You can do it! Slow weight loss is better then none! Are you exercising?

I am, I go to the gym 3x a week and do 45-50 minutes of cardio and 1 set on the weight machines, I just added doing steps at home (about 30 minutes). I eat between 1600-1800 calories a day...of the weight i have lost, I lost 6lbs in the first week. The rest of it has been since the 17th of Jan. I am NOT willing to take 3 years trying to get this weight off. 1 or 1.5, sure...but 3 years?

I am not looking to lose 10lbs a week, or even the 6lbs I lost the first week, but at my weight, I would be happy losing 2-3lbs per week.

Im no expert but maybe to much exercise? I know for me I do 30-60min 6days a week and get in around 1000-1200 calories but everyone is different what about taking in less calories on the days you dont exercise?

well I was originally eating 1200 calories, and stalled out way early into my weight loss journey, so it was suggested that I eat 1800 calories, now I just can't get that many calories in most days, so I settled between 1600-1800.

Uggg...its just all so frustrating. Don't mind me, I am having a down day. I'll probably be a lot better tomorrow. I didn't get enough sleep last night.

Hi all,

Yes, I'm in the 280s zone also but it sure does beat the 300s+.

Clothes that I haven't worn for ages are fitting well, if not loosely. It's great incentive.

I'm looking forward to being down to the 240-250s. That, if Plan A doesn't slide into Plan Z3 should happen by the end of May. I hope so. My guy will be coming home from being OS, I hope to make a good impression. It's great motivation.

Keep up with the water, stay away from the chocs! Catch you later.

Ohmydogs... my suggestion is to up your water intake. I know it's difficult and going from nothing to 2 litres a day is awesome, but you should be drinking about 3.5 to 4 litres of water a day for your weight. As we get smaller we need less water, but I can't tell you enough how much of a difference it makes for me when I get in all my water.

Also have you tried calorie cycling or mixing up what you are doing at the gym? Perhaps your body has already gotten used to the exact same calories and exercises all the time?

Well, I was at 279 when I woke up today. I'm going to wait until Sunday before I count it as officially being out of the 280's just because that's my actual weigh in day. Hopefully it sticks. :p

Anyone still stuck in the 280's with me? I'm hanging out around 284. Maybe it'll be gone in a couple of weeks.

Im still here, but im at 280.4 and I found out if I weight at night and im around only 1-2pounds over then I lost weight so I might not be in the 280s when I weigh in the morning

Im just hanging in, hopefully in the 270's next week :wave:
