I seen 169 on the scale this AM,,, I have been battling through the 170's for 2 months!

Is it normal to have to fight so hard once you get down in weight? I am excercising more than ever before in my life and I just don't get this slow weight loss when consuming only 6-800 calories a day. I watch my carbs, I only eat chicken, it is just frustrating!

Congrats on the loss! I think maybe you should try increasing calories just a bit, and see how that impacts things? If you're working out a lot, you might be undereating and getting in a bit of starvation mode?

Anyhow, well done you!

Myrori,

well done on getting through the 170 barrier...I am in the same boat; I bounce between 179 and 181 and have been doing so for since the beg of April!! My cals are a little more, say, 800 - 1200 but still low enough eh?

What I tell myself is that as long as there is no huge gain, I am ok. My mindset has changed a little more recently, and yes, I still get frustrated and a little cheesed off when the scale doesn't move... but now I have come to terms with the fact that this might take me a lot longer than I first thought. At last I can move how I WANT to and that keeps me focused!

Keep up the good work and regardless of the time frame, you will get there! Just look at what you have acheived in such a short space of time... and hey just 24lb from goal... that is bloody brilliant!!

Bask in your glory to date, that is what I say ...lol =]

CONGRATS!!!!
