Philana I feel we're in a pretty similar situation!! I hit the 130's in November, and have been bouncing around 138-139 for the past 2.5 months!! I know it's my fault because I've been slacking...but I just don't seem to have the motivation now I had then. I think it's because my normal weight range is anywhere between 135-138...so now that i'm back to that, I just can't seem to keep my same work ethic to get lower :-( Here's to getting out of the 130's soon--or at least lower in the 130's ;-)

cmwelp - haven't seen you around in ages! I'm in the same spot..I'm at 136 but I've been going between 135-138 for the past few months. I also have no motivations to get my self down to my goal. I can't seem to get my butt in gear, this is also my normal 'healthy weight'. I really want to get below 130 though.

haha yeah Lisa--that's probably part of the reason I've been hanging steady for the past few months! When some of my clothes didn't fit, it was so easy to have the motivation to get back into them--but now that they do, I'm struggling to work hard!!

it sucks, because I'm still definitely putting in the gym time same as before, but I just can't pull together my eating! I guess it's all going to come down to how badly I want it. It looks like you're doing better than me though, so congrats Lisa!! Time for me to get my butt back on here for some support :-)

cwmelp - haha, I wouldn't say 3lbs is much better! I've been stuck here since before Christmas!! Today so far I did really well.

B= apple + 1/2 cup kashi cereal
L = 1 slice veggie pizza + latte
D = carrots and hummus and cauliflower with cheese sauce
S = mini chocolate bar
Total calories = 1150

If I can keep this up I'll probably lose get to my goal of 130 by Valentines Day..we can both do it!!

Oh gosh, this last week has been a nightmare for me in terms of achieving my weightloss goals. I feel like I've been on a week-long binge of anything I can get my hands on. Unhealthy food, or healthy food in massively excessive amounts. I ate a whole loaf of sourdough bread tonight - how terrible is that?

I keep going ahead with the mentality of "tomorrow is a new day", but each day I screw up just as much as the last one. I have tomorrow pre-logged again, so hoping to at least stay within that somewhat.

A couple weeks ago the scale was showing 133.6. Today it was 138.4 - I feel disgusted with my behavior lately, and have a total lack of motivation.

Some days I get stuck in a loop of:

Ugh, not losing weight - frustrating!
Losing weight is a pain, and I'm never going to achieve it...
I'm actually ok with my weight now. I'm definitely not fat!
Binge binge binge binge binge
Uuugh, so grossed out - time to get healthy again and lose weight!

Loop back to step 1, and you have a typical day for me.

Anyone else feel like this?

After some unfortunate decisions over Christmas ( I ate and drank everything I could get hold of:P) I'm back in this thread again after a weight gain of roughly 6 pounds.

It sucks a little bit to be back to be honest, however this is just a temporary setback and I'm hoping to be rolling out of the 130s in no time=)

I hear you all on saying it's healthy weight range so harder to be motivated. I started back up this week, but I've not done great so no loss yet. I think once I see the scale moving I'll get back into it again. I hope. I am just grasping for stuff that will work. Such as investigating IF options.

Hi I'm new. I want to get down to 120!!! I've been stuck at 130 pounds for the last 1 year since regaining 20 pounds via binging and depression. Hi everyone!!

I did. Especially on Christmas and the days before it. Jeez, I ate so much.. I ate, ate, ate and ate until I felt sick. But now I am controlling myself no matter how badly I want to binge. Because I know if I won't stop it, and always make excuses I won't lose weight.

Oh and in the end of February I for sure want to be out of 130's, so I hope I will make it!

Hi Everyone....I'm so excited to make it to this thread, but I think I'll be even more excited to leave. I've been 138ish for a week or so now, so I think I can say that I'm safely in the 130's.

Welcome BlueIsis! I'm at 134!

Anyone here that wants to buddy-up with me getting out of these danged 130s? I could really use it! hihi. Maybe motivate eachother through whatsapp or something!

ugh i've been stuck at 133-132 for the past 2 weeks. :-( gotta jump start my body back to losing instead of oscillating

Hi all,

I haven't posted for a long time and feel like it's time to get out of the shadows. I made 133 this morning, but am not sure if I'm make it again tomorrow. I was hoping for 130 by Valentine's day, but more likely, it'll be 131 by the end of Feb. It's so slow. It's definitely hard to keep motivated. I keep telling myself that I'll get to go clothes shopping once I lose all the weight--and maintain it for a while.

I don't know what to say except that I definitely hear what you guys are saying. Everything here makes sense to me. I don't consider them to be completely "vanity" pounds. With each pound that comes off, I'm a little more self - confident. I feel more sure of my body and present myself in a different manner—whether other people can see the change in weight or not... the fact is, I know. And acting different makes a big difference in how people treat you. I am treated better when I'm more self-confident, and I want that to happen. So that's that...

Anyway...I'm resolved to post more. so "hi!" everyone!!!
