Lost 2 pounds!! ^_^ I love it when the scale finally moves! Only 12 to go.

When I hit about 20 pounds to go I started an exercise program. That was almost exactly one month ago. It's taken awhile for my body to get used to exercising again and my weight loss almost completely stalled. I lost a total of one and a half pounds in 3.5 weeks. It was really frustrating. However I think my body is finally adjusting and it's letting go of some excess weight, I've lost 2 pounds the last 2 days which is super exciting. I'm down to 176.2 and now have 16 pounds to go!

Has anyone else has stalls in their weight loss now that you're getting closer to your goal?

Shamac....could you share which diet (yeahyeah, lifestyle change) you are on?
how much/what kind of exercise?

Sunster2, I'm not really on a diet. I say this because I decided to just watch my portions. However, here's the catch, I exercise like a mad woman. I'm not working right now so I'm constantly in the gym to keep from being so bored. I go twice a day for at least 1.5 hours each time. I do all kinds of exercise ( Zumba, cycle, hip hop, pretty much all the classes my gym offers).

Around breakfast I keep my meals light (when I eat breakfast, I am currently fasting until mid day) lunch is usually a chicken breast with veggies or fruit. For dinner I eat whatever my heart desires, as long as I watch my portions. I eat so light during the day because dinner is important to me, and I like eating junk food :o( pizza, nachos, sweets). My dinner choices are rarely "healthy", but its working for me, and when it stops working I'll try to eat healthier for dinner.

*I'm not suggesting anybody else do this, it just works for me at this point.

I joined the under- 20lbs-to-go club this morning! So exciting cuz I barely lost anything in a month (1lbs) and then 3lbs in one week! ShaMac I am like you in that I can't say I eat healthy all the time, but youre one up on me cuz for me exercise is minimal so I just eat very little when I eat junk which is still almost every day.i love chips and cheese and bread! Gotta have a taste even if that's all I can have. Some days it's like I am on an all carb diet. Not recommended!

I hope everyone is doing well!

I am down a bit more, atleast for today I was out of another decade. We shall see what tomorrow brings. -- I am under some serious stress, have a cold (poor me :)) and TOM is just around the corner. -- I hate the 160's! I used to loathe the 150's but for now I am dancing with happiness to see that 15x.x on my scale. Funny how our perspective changes. -- It will be interesting to see, IF I manage to hit my goal #1; normal BMI and how I feel about it. The old me 7 years ago would have thought that I was fat as a cow at that number, the new me may be perfectly happy and decide that 140 will be my goal. My ultimate goal of 125 seems so far away and unachievable.

176.0 this morning... 11 lbs to go. At 10 lbs, I'm writing a countdown on my bathroom mirror in a whiteboard marker :)

Down another 2lbs this week, so 6 more lbs to go!

I thought I would jump in here.

This is so hard now. I expect I will be on this thread for a very long time.

I would LOVE to know what everyone here is doing for food and exercise, if you want to share.
Thanks, ShaMac for sharing yours.
=)

15.5 pounds to go (as of Saturday morning), I'm hoping my weekend away didn't make me get further from my goal, I did try to stick within my calories!

Underwater- I love the idea of writing your goal weight on the bathroom mirror once you hit 10lbs. I may steal that idea and write in all over my kitchen.

sunster2- I keep it simple (for me) by tracking my calories. Right now my calorie goal is 1500 and I eat anything as long as it's within my goal. For the most part it's a lot of chicken breast and veggies with the odd chocolate and wine thrown in! As for exercise I lost most of my weight without any, but I'm currently doing C25K 3x a week, cycling 2x and weight training 4x.

I was afraid for a couple days I gained, so I didn't look. Today, I'm still under 20!! 17.2 to go. I can't believe it!!
