Thanks so much for your response! I am pretty excited to be where I am right now, but with goal so tantalizingly close, it's frustrating, a bit!
So for the exercise part, I am NOT doing weights because of an old shoulder injury that is very slow to heal. Just body weight resistance. I run, I spin, hike, do boot camp and HIIT, just modified with no weights. I won't be able to lift for at least another 3 months. I went to the doctor for a terrible plateau I had a couple of years ago that was related to being prescribed a too-strong antibiotic, but I'm fine now. I think I had a full physical within the past year and everything good. I agree with what you said about the calorie thing. After doing more reading on this site, I have actually been planning to try calorie cycling (or what used to be known as the "Wendy Plan", I think!). I'm going to add in a 300 calorie smoothie every other day and hopefully, going from 1200 - 1500, up and down, will cause something to happen. Am just going to try to be patient. After making it through a career change, a cross-country move, major sickness of a spouse, major downsizing, and (still) living in temporary housing with everything in storage until we find a house, all in the past 7 months, with no emotional-eating gain and even slight loss (15 lbs), nothing is going to throw me off track now (I hope!).
I have not been taking my measurements, but I can tell that I'm toning, if not losing pounds. I'm really comfortably into all of my size 10 jeans and am even wearing some M shirts, and I've never been below an L before. NSV!! I am really going to give myself time. I would be thrilled with a pound a week. I just want to be at goal by next April/May. Fingers crossed that switching up my calories will work.
BTW, your progress is AMAZING!!! 57 pounds since March is so great! You're almost in ONEDERLAND.
You'll be at GOAL in no time!
