On the down slide again..
 

After my last post I did a lot of thinking about what I have been doing different for that week or 2 my weight didn't budge. Well after much thinking I saw that exercise really was not the issue. I have not been exercising (like tapes, cardio etc) for a bit now and still lost weight. So Ok I marked that off the list. So next I looked at what I was eating. And saw that I was still eating the same amount of calories as I was when I was 160 and now I am in the mid 130s. Ok so I tweak those down a bit. Next was my water intake. I had slacked on the amount of water I was drinking. So I upped that back up. So with those 2 changes I noticed my weight took that dip off of 136. As of this morning I was 135.something. :carrot::carrot::D

I know I have may goal weight set for 130 but my main goal really is to be in my 32 (mens) pants comfortably. So because I am so close to 130 and I can put 32s on but they are still tight. I will continue on my plan until I can wear those 32 pants and them not be tight. Once I get there I will try my hand at maintaining. Which I believe I can do.

Hey need2lose,

Good for you! Keep going! :cb: :cb: :cb:

Are you sure you don't want to include some physical activity? That can make a difference in your calorie burn per day.

wow, that's great :D i can't wait to be anywhere near your weight!! good luck fitting in those pants comfortably!!

Rock on!! I think I need to reduce my calories as well to lose more weight. Good job :) And even more impressive that you've STILL been losing weight without much exercise.

Yay! Congrats on getting over that hump. I don't look forward to plateaus, but when I do hit them, it's nice to see other's experiences on how they overcame it. Thanks for sharing your story.
