10 months and still struggling below that Century mark...

I really don't have any hidden secrets. I eat what I want but a lot of times I don't eat enough and get enough water in and that might be why I'm stuck right now. In fact my husband was breathing down my neck last night about only eating a can of beats for lunch. I always eat very light at my job but I have a job where I'm on my feet non stop from 6am until I leave at 2pm. My husband is right about the eating because I have been feeling tired and run down lately. Donna

Ah shucks. I was sure there was going to be a magic formula that I was missing out on. Only kidding. Thanks for your response. Whatever you are doing...keep doing it !!! Karen G

Sorry my dear Don't give up hope. I stepped on my scale about half an hour ago and it told me I'm down to 171lbs bu****ch it swing back up once I eat something We are our worse enemies as we are always beating up on our selfs. We need to STOP IT!! Donna 338/171

Karen, Don't feel bad you are not alone. What's the Century club? I feel like i'm never gonna get there and i'm at a loss of 95 lbs and was even a little closer and messed around a gained a few pounds....huh!!! I need to do better, you are not alone. dee

The "Century Club" refers to persons who have lost 100 pounds. I am stuck at 93 and trying hard to get to 100. Thanks for responding. Guess I am not as alone in this battle as I figured. Thanks Karen G 294 / 201/ 150?? ( i hope)

Sometimes going back to basics can work. Try a day of clear liquids...another day of full liquids. Maybe a day or two of soft foods. i do this when i'm in a slump and it seems to work. Its like kickin it back into gear. Also try uppin' your calorie intake and change your exercise routine. Sometimes if we fall into a "Routine" it stays that way... and if you change different routines you'll see some difference. Hope this helps you! 270/151 1# till Doc's Goal 11# till Personal Goal

thanks Gracie. I'll give it a try. Karen G

Nurse Gracie that is exactly what I did last month and will probably do it again - I was hovering (for over 2 months) at the 172-175 weight - one day I would be 172 then the next I would clock in at 175...I did all liquid protein one day - then started back on track and bam off came 6 pounds - I now hover between 164 and 167 - but I've been eating more than I normally do the last few weeks so I must get back on track...I am looking for goal at 150 - I am in to size 8 stretch jeans and 12s are getting too loose on top so I figure another 15 pounds and I'll be a solid 8 or 10 and happy...but it is reallllllyyyyy slowing down.

Karen, I was reading my journal and noticed that have been losing weight a lot slower than most people on this board.. so you're not alone. I started at 334 today I am 240, so I am six pounds away from that Century mark. I'm losing about 5 pounds amonth. I exercise 3-4 times a week... drink about 40 oz of water and eat sparingly. I take my vitamins and get in my protein drinks but I guess I need to pump up the exercise and drink MORE water. I'm worried that I might not be able to lose the rest of the weight. Truth is, it just takes hard work and patience. hang in there girl, I'm hanging in there with you. R.
