Jenn You ARE SO NOT ALONE!! I thought I was the only one out there left!! I still have ATLEAST 90 pounds to go to get to a goal weight I put for myself, of 150, and I dont even know if that's realistic, but I thought I was being generous - yeah, I'd love to get to the 120's, but I just dont think that could ever happen..... I'm still losing every month, and a generous amount, but still have way more to go - I've lost more than 1/2 of me so far, and yes, I should be happy, but I just keep focusing on how much more there is to go, and think it's just going to take longer and get harder now.

You are not a long I have about 20 more to lose and I can not get it off for nothing I did the 5day pouch test lost 3pounds but i am working hard to get this off. I know what you are talking about.

Hi Jenn! No....you are not alone. I have been stuck on a plateau since 10 months out. It seemed that no matter WHAT I do, nothing helps. I still need to lose 35 pounds to reach a "normal" BMI. I have been VERY discouraged and seldom post here any more bacause I am sure everyone is tired of hearing me whine about the same old thing. I have tried a lot of different approaches.....more exercise, less exercise, more protein, less protein, 3 meals a day, 5-6 meals a day, no carbs, low carbs, whatever carbs.......you get the idea. The only thing I never cut back on was waterand vitamins. That was until this last week, when someone took pity on me and answered one of my posts (on another board) about trying "clean eating" (which I THOUGHT I was doing.....NOT). Since last Tuesday, I have been eating approximately every 2 hours. At each "meal" I have 2-4 oz. of lean meat and 1 cup of raw or slightly steamed veggies, in addition to a few other things. I lost 2 pounds the first 3 days and have kept them off all week! I plan on continuing and seeing where it takes me. After being stuck for so long, I am not getting excited, but it is the first loss in a long time. If you are interested, PM me and I can send you the details. What I like about this "plan" is that it has all 4 food groups and does not forbid. It is a healthy plan a person could do forever----not a "diet". The other tool I learned about (from the same member) is www.thedailyplate.com. I have tried fitday and sparkpeople, but this one tells you how many calories you need for the day, then when you put in your exercise and food eaten, it shows how many more/less you can have throughout the day.

I feel like I am the only one left from the October '06 board who still has weight to lose. Even though I have lost 188 pounds, I still need to lose more because I started at a high weight of 384 pounds. I am finding that the weight loss has slowed, it's harder to be as motivated. I still track every morsel that goes in my mouth but find I'm fighting with my head more than anything about what to put into my belly. Is everyone at goal or at least happy with where they are weight/size wise? Jenn

Hey Tabby, Thanks so much for your support for all babies. It really is a wonderful cause. As a NICU nurse we see all the spectrums of sickness in these really little to full term babies so every dollar that can, and does help is a wonderful thing. I hope you and your will enjoy the walk. 130 ? girl, that is fantastic. i'm still strugling with the last 19 - 20 pounds till I reach my personal goal of 150. Makes me nuts. thanks again for your support and keep up the great work Donna, sfy
