Slowed Weight Loss

[dabrat2u 9]

I'm so glad I found you all! I hit my year mark and have only lost 64lbs. I know 64lbs is a lot, but I wanted to lose a lot less. The case manager at my doctor said I should only lose about 60% of my goal and my goal was 100lbs, so I guess I'm on track. I have weighed 180lbs for the last 3 months. Thank you for all your inspiring stories. They are motivating me to do more!

With you being a mom of 2 children, I can understand your frustration. I don't know how old your kids are but what I used to do was do activities with my kids that was fun for them and exercise for me. For example: I have all boys so I would play footall or catch with them. I would play basketball with them. I might even race them to see who can run the fastest. They had a ball knowing their mommy was playing with them and spending time with them. So you see it is a win-win situation. My kids are grown now but that is what I used to do when they were younger. Also, right now, I am pre op. I have finished three of the twelve classes I need to take before I am scheduled for surgery. I can understand,the stall in weight loss. One thing you have to remember is your body gets used to the same routine so you have to mix it up. For example: even if you do the same exercises but you change the order, the reps, and the intensity, then you will jump start your body into fat burning mode. I get bored so I always have to mix things up a bit. This way you keeo your body guessing. I hope this helps.
