So true! That happened to me at about 6 months or so. I was only eating about 900 cal but burning that in the gym almost every day. My NUT said to up to 1200 since i workout so much and boom! Witjin 3 days the lbs started dropping again. My body was in storage mode.

I am so sry! That was for Auntjanny. But so happy for you too. Cant wait to have all this excess removed. Its such a pain. I have currently lost 129lbs and just about 9 months post. I have been in a stall for the last couple weeks but partly my fault. Havent l been eating the best. Need to get my head back on str8 and get my butt in gear. In the gym everyday though just not eating the best. Good luck to you and the rest of you journey. So exciting!

Look at your diet and see what you are eating. I understand you are getting in your Protein but how much fat and sugar are you eating. Just a suggestion. Also you really should be working out up to 5 days a week. Need to burn the calories! I just came off a 3 week stall and i am 9 months post today. You really need to change up your eating and exercise routine every 6 wks or so your body doesnt adjust. Try working out 3 to 4 days and really push the cardio and strength. I was taught to do a warm up and then hit the strength before cardio. I do heavy strength every other day. The opposite days i concentrate on cardio and little strength. I work out 5 days a week and about 1 hr and 45 min a workout. It is important to losing weight!

Good luck to you and congrats on your journey this far

How uas onedaycloser been doing and wendyt and MImomaof2 and brownj15 and all those others of u out there in MI. Would love to hear from u all! Lets us know whats been going on with your wonderful journey

Broke my old mile time tonite. I actually had to slow down a little so i wouldnt beat it by too much. Never had to do that before...lol. Anyways my new mile time is 13:40. When i started this journey almost 9 months ago i was lucky if i could even walk half a mile. When i could finally my best time was around 30 min so ive come a long way especially for a person who absolutely hates to run.

Well welcome to our group. I guage myself on how i feel as well. At this point i still look at the weight but i have gone from a 4x to a LG in just 81/2 months so i cant complain. I took out my old clotyes a couple days ago and was just astounded at what i wore!! I could almost fit 2 of me in those clothes. My daught and i fit in them...lol. It can be a huge struggle to maintain and thats why u have all of us good peeps. We will keep u honest and on the right path. U worked so hard to get where u r at. Just remember that. Hope to hear more from u in future postings!

And for a bit of an update. Today was my weigh in day. I am down to 227 and thats a loss of 129lbs in about 8 1/2 montys. Weight has been slowing a bit so time to change up some stuff. I also started back on birth control since my divorce was final last month. Not that im planning anything but u never know..lol. Looking good these days (wink wink). I have also slipped a little. Had a massive baking day lasy weekend and then all the kids came over. I cheated!! Still lost 3lbs but couldve been more. Just been feelin a little down the last couple of weeks and missed support group so that didnt help. Only 47lbs til my personal goal weight and can look at having some skin removal. Excited about that. Looking like im gonna have to pay for some of it. Getting alot of excess skin and wont tighten up at my age. But just wanted to check in. Hows everybody else been doing?! We need to all get together at some point. Maybe find a halfway spot and meet for lunch one day. Talk to me ladies. Wanna hear from u all! Enjoy your weekends and stay healthy

Well lorilynn we are about the same weight now. I am 241 now but started at 356 6 months ago.

Muskegon here. Cant wait to enjoy the lake this summer. Although i have alot more hanging out now. Lol

Where abouts r u from. I live in west michigan on the lake.

My physician also says i can take whatever for pain. I take T3 but was given tramadol post surgery. He said any pain killer would he fine. I also didnt have to fast or do liquid prior. I did a high Protein diet 2 wks prior with products they ask us to use called Healthwise. It was wonderful. Ate 6 times a day and only about 7-800 cal per day but was never hungry and got me off the garbage and accustomed to good foods. From MI btw

So close I can feel it! Missed the last challenge goal by just a few lbs so gonna push hard this week. I can make that last 3 lbs. Wish me luck and good luck to the rest of u on your goals, we can do it!! Cant wait for the next challenge!

Now that u can workout your loss should be better. Get to the gym or make a good routine of cardio and strength for home if thats what u prefer. The weight will come off as long as you follow the rules and change your eating habits and have a good support system. This is definitely not something to go at all alone. I have lost 127lbs at just 8 months out and only have 49lbs to hit my personal goal and 100% of my starting weight. I know i will do it. You can do this. Just eat right and get in your activity. Do what is best for you to get the best results. We are all here for you to back you up and answer questions if we can. Good luck to you and hope to hear updates soon.

Acampbell- not sure if this will help but have u tried looking back at what youve been eating? How about ur workouts. Maybe change them up a little. Howany cal r u eating a day. Try raising or lowering depending on how much ur eating. When i hit a stall for almost 4 wks i was told to up my cal intake. Apparently i was starving my body cuz i work out so hard. I did and witholin 3-4 days i was losing again. They say about every 6 wks ur body adjusts to what ur doing so we should change things up on our diet and exercise to keep ur body guessing amd losing. Good luck to u

ok tired of this stall still 148. Not happy at all I don't know what to do. I have been struggling.
