How is everyone??

 Seeing so much action and new faces around here, glad to see it, was dead there for a while! well as for me I have decided that I will go back to once a month weighing, my weight fluctuates too much and it drives me crazy. I have pretty much been on a stubborn plateau  for some time now, and I am ready to get past it! changing some things up and looking forward instead of behind me, one thing I will say, is though I have been losing the same 3-5 lb's over and over again, I have continued to lose inches, so my body is still changing when I look in the mirror so that is nice and good motivation for me to continue going to the gym and being active, I also stick pretty closely to my eating plan, and give my self small breaks from time to time, but nothing major, so I get very frustrated with the scale not moving, or moving those same few pounds rather. I have come a long way, but I feel I still have a long way to go, sometimes I feel like I will never hit my goal, and I only have 14 lb's to go to get to my 100 lb's lost mark and maybe it is sub concious but seems like my weight loss has stalled tremendously the closer i get to that 100 lb mark??? oh well, I hope everyone else is doing great and keeping their chin up! and I hope to report that I have hit 100 lb's lost very soon! 

I too am enjoying the new activity!!!

You are so close to hitting 100 lbs gone.......WAHOO....please let me know when you hit it!

Have a great day!

Hi Michelle, good to see your posting again.

Yes, somehow these big goals seem to be the worst to hit. You're so close, no wonder you're crazy about it - LOL we all are. No matter when you lose 100 pounds - we will be here to celebrate.

I'm feeling a little frustrated because my weight loss has slowed too. I understand why, because as we get closer to our normal weight, we aren't carrying all around those excess pounds of fat that burn off extra calories. I'm looking at all my hanging skin and thinking about plastic reconstructive surgery = but I know I can't do that until I've lost all the excess weight and kept it at a stable weight for awhile. So this is making me more eager to lose but my body isn't cooperating. Oh well, that's life so I just keep moving forward, one foot in front of the other.

86 lbs lost!! Only 66 to go!!! You have so much more behind you then ahead of you! I really feel that we stress about losing that our bodies become even more stubborn!! Take a deep breath stop stressing..enjoy this beauitful weather and they will start coming off!! I can not wait to see that 100lbs lost..you are getting so close!! We will be there soon..so glad we are on the same team!! Hang in there..keep your head up and just live :) I'm right behind you!
