jellybellyjess, how are you eating and what exercise are you getting?

FINALLY! My scale is moving again! It's not much, but I lost another pound. Woohoo!

Still here. I am feeling a little bit frustrated about this scale standstill. I feel I would be less frustrated by it if it had taken another 10 pounds to stall like this. then at least I'd be stuck at a weight I'd never weighed before.

Oh well, gotta keep moving. I'm trying to increase my cardio over the next couple of weeks. I hope that will burn some more fat.

AKT - i have been slowly slipping back to my normal eating i think..i dont even notice im doing it! hopefully now i have realised this is happening i will do something about it! I have been like not adding salad/veggies and fruit to meals and that which i guess means i eat more of the stuff that might lead me to gain?
I have only really been doing walking at the moment.. i should prob step that up a little bit and hopefully that will help the scale move down.
I just get so frustrated that the rate of weight loss is so slow after the first like stone and i wanted to be like totally transformed by the time i go back to university and it bums me out that im not this skinny person yet lol then i just think whats the point! more food!!!
sorry for the very very long message lol i guess just writing it down helps!
any tips for motivation when there are no changes?!

jellybellyjess-
Girl don't get down on yourself, it happens! Just know that if you get back on track now, you won't have to start over from square one. You should start keeping a journal with all your food that you're eating everyday, I know everyone says to do it, but for me it's really helped. I tend not to eat bad things if I know I have to write it down and have proof of what I did lol. I have written down every single thing since I started in April and I think that is what has made stick with it so long. And as for exercise, just do whatever you can. If you feel like walking, then walk. If you feel like running, then run. Just do something! Good luck girl.

Thanks :-) that sounds like a good idea..i did it for a while and was sticking to good eating but then (i cant remember why) i just stopped doing it everyday so yeah im gonna give that a go
Hopefully there will be some scale movement!

Hi everyone!! I'm so excited to finally be joining this thread...it seems like I spent FOREVER in the 170s. I weighed in today at 167.4 - I had a 3 lb loss this week that blasted me into the 160s.

Hoping I don't have to stick around in this thread as long as I did in the 170s thread.

Congrats fat pants! I can't wait to see you all in the 150s thread!

So I went to the gym to weigh myself today and the scale was broken! So now I have to wait til tomorrow. The digital scale we have at home says 165 but I never trust that thing.

Ack! It seems like everyone is plateauing!

I'm at 161.2 as of this morning. I've been stuck between 2-3 pounds for a couple of weeks now, and, while it's mostly my fault (drinking wine and eating garlic bread and not wanting to get out of bed to run), I'm recommitted to seeing 159 sometime this week.

Good luck ladies!

160.0!

SEE YA, 160's!

Congratulations Macky!

A 1.5 week east coast/national parks vacation turned into a 3 week diet vacation. I wasn't horrible, but I wasn't journaling or running either.

I'm back in the 160s this morning, and finally back to my regular schedule. 169.2

I'm psyched to be in the 150's. It's my goal by the second week in September. I just want to be realistic. But I'm only 4 lbs away from 159!

ADIOS!

159.8 this morning

Good luck everyone!

Good job macky!

I feel like I'm not doing as well as before. I'm staying in my calorie range of 1400-1600 and working out at least 4-5 days but I'm not as on top of it as I was. Eating out more but making good choices, but still eating out is not as good as making it yourself. Maybe because everyone around me is like "where are you gonna lose it from" "you don't to lose any more" blah blah blah it's like you guys only see me in clothes, where I can hide my fat! lol

The home scale said 162.5 today but like I said I don't trust that thing, I'll wait til I go back to the gym.
