Weight loss is no easy matter. I'm 130 pounds or so overweight at 310 lbs currently, when 180 would
Really be nicer. I dropped from 340 to 290 in only a few months, but have piled back on 20 lbs in just a month. Losing 10 lbs is easy as pie when you've got 100 or more extra pounds and nearly 20 extra inches on your belly. Those first 10 lbs are nothing when you have a ton of fat to start w ith. The last 10 lbs are like Impossible to lose. I reached sort of a plateu going from 340 to 290, could never get below that number. I weigh and measure myself constantly.
The main thing leading to losing 50 lbs was quitting drinking for awhile.the empty calories from booze cause a lot of weight gain. Being stuck at 290-295 for a month plus got me depressed and feeling hopeless so I went back to drinking and quickly put on 20 lbs or so. Time for me to give the vodka sevens a rest. I'll lose like 10 lbs in 2-3 days once I quit for awhile then 10 more pounds soon after and be stuck back at right around 292. That is just where my body settles at, a lot better than the current 310 ! I know exactly where it is going and that getting under 290 is unlikely.
Something along the lines of the last 10 pounds are not even in my thoughts as remotely possible. Ten pounds of fat left is like an unachievable fantasy, I'd gladly accept the fact that I can't lose the last of the blubber and take 190 lbs instead of 180 as a final weight, that is a petty difference ! My doctor has a realistic short term goal of me getting down to 260. I'm afraid to see her next week with the recent 20 lb gain

Wish I could ever get there!
