Goodbye. I am continuing on to the 140's group. I have been here with the 150s since November!!! and was beginning to think I was never going to break through. But, I am firmly 148-149 now and the journey continues. Good luck to all hoping to break through as well and I hope to see you in the 140s group soon.
May I join you all? I just got into the 150's for the first time in many years. My next mini-goal is 145 because that would put me in the "not overweight" category for the first time in over 10 years. But it's getting harder to lose - I was losing 3 lbs a week easy, then it dropped to 1 lb a week, now I typically stay at one weight for a couple of weeks before I see any movement. It's frustrating- maybe this group can help encourage me and give me some advice to get things moving again?

Hi! It's looking like it's just us two here! I'm pretty new again to this weight loss thing, so I'm not sure about advice I can give, but I can be there working away at he 150s with you!

Hey, at least we're not alone! I'm excited to be in the 150's again and am looking forward to pushing through them.
I've been doing some walking outside (just resumed, because it warmed up enough that it wasn't bitter cold out) and doing some video exercise programs plus watching my diet. Diet is easier said than done- I have a real problem with portion control. What's working for me lately is I don't use our big plates, but only the little plates or the bowls. The big plates are huge and if I fill one of those up, it's no bueno.
Yeah, I am super glad you're here! I have a problem with snacking since moving in with my partner. He's able to snack like crazy and look amazing, but when I snack it'a terrible! I gotta have more willpower! I am pretty good for the exercise, but the food is hard right now!

Thanks! I am glad you are here too! Maybe more will join us.
I hear you completely on the frustration - my husband is 6'3" and can eat anything and look great. I'm 5'5" and can't, haha. He makes the most delicious things and all I can do is eye them with envy because I know if I eat them I'll regain. Additionally, I work out about 6 days a week, and he plays men's volleyball a couple times a week and calls it good. Genetics and gender differences on fitness and weight loss can be so frustrating, haha!
Totally!!! It's super annoying! But, I'm glad we can do this together! I'm 5'1" so every little pound shows up SOOOO much! I also hope more people join us! Sorry for the delays in responding! It's been an insane week!!
Hope you had a great weekend, Kahaney! I got some walking in with my dogs, some shoveling (got about 9 inches of snow over the weekend), some errands, some volunteering and today did a T25 workout and some yoga.
That's great to hear! I did ok on the eating front, but I was stuck in a First Aid CPR-C course all weekend so that chewed up some exercise time! This means I didn't lose weight this weekend, but I stayed the same. So, could be better, could be worse! But, I can save lives now, so that's cool!

That is way cool! And maintaining is a skill, too. I only drop 1 lb about every 10 days, these days. The closer I get to goal, the longer it takes. I probably need to make another tweak in my diet to speed things up so I don't get discouraged.
Yeah, diet tweaking can be annoying but so necessary, haha. I'm struggling with being pretty hungry this week, but the first week is always the worst...At least in my experience with this weight loss struggle, hahaha.
Gah, so frustrated today. Got my latest blood results back and my A1C is 5.6. At 5.7 I will be pre-diabetic. I am at an utter loss- I exercise daily, I have lost nearly 50 lbs in 10 months, I don't eat sweets, drink soda, drink alcohol or drink juice. I eat 1 piece of fruit a day. I don't eat bread or pasta. How is it when I was heavier, didn't exercise and ate like crap I didn't have any issues and now I do? Sorry- I'm just venting. I just am upset about this, it feels like a slap in the face.
