Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

Mel, Is it a stall? or is it a slooooooooow loss? I haven't had any big losses in a while, but i'm still losing about a pound every 2-3 weeks. Kristi

Kristi, I go between 193-195 over and over again since December.

It's like my body is saying...that's enough...you can't go any lower.

I have been in a stall since late December. I have got to find a way to get past all the old fears jumping in my head. It's at those times, I want to eat everything I shouldn't! I keep reading where lots of people are near their goal, and I still have at least 25 pounds to go. It's frustrating. I am hoping that I can say I am back on track soon.

Head games are the worst! Thanks for helping me see that I am not alone.

I still have at least 20 to lose for my personal goal.

I too have 20lbs to lose, but I think my body is catching up with the loss, losing girth. I noticed on my belt i need to make another notch, so I know Im still losing in someway. I find myself now wanting to go to public places more. I was in Walmart and the cashier laughed at me looking at my chest where the sag is still there with some sort of fat there and it hangs like boobs... I felt my face get flushed a little but I just smiled and laughed with her and said hey , I lost a lot of weight and it's still coming off, I didn't make no reference on her being over weight but just said I feel better everyday and things like that I just take it with a grain of salt and move on!

Hey Mel,

For all of us, we have been at this for months and the scale has slowed way down. We aren't getting the compliments like we were a few months ago (or at least I'm not). We still have more we want to lose, but we keep hearing 'you look great' which I think plays with our heads and eats away at motivation. I think a big chunck of us are with you! I have a bit less than 20 pounds to go. I look in the mirror and think, I could just stop now.

On the up side, the weather is improving (even in Minnesota!) Last night hubby and I were able to take a nice long walk - OUTSIDE!. Soon the farmers markets will open with locally gown produce and other products. In order to switch things up a bit I am looking at making two more changes. One, I am going to research more organically, locally gown food choices. Two, with my Fit Bit I am going to focus on really hitting the goals. Even if the scale quits moving I think making these changes can only improve my health. At least I will feel like I am doing something positive!

Keep moving! Keep on keeping on!!

Hi Carol,

You are correct on all accounts! I have taken two outside walks this week. On vacation I lost my charger to my brand new fitbit, so I will get that back going soon. I have signed up for my first 5K. Its on Mother's Day. Looking forward to marking that off of my "to-do" list. I'm still working towards the triathlon, but it may be later in the year.

Good goals you have set. I am working on cooking more complete meals at home and just taking a couple of bites of each. I'm also working on getting my water intake up.

We can do this! I am so thankful for this group! Its great to know I can bring my issues here and you guys totally understand!

My dresses from landsend came intoday. I had ordered 3. 2 in small and 1 in medium. Good news is the small fit!!! Bad news is the one in nedium was my favorite.

4/10/14, it was my 10th month Surgiversary and I passed my surgeons goal, I have lost 100 lbs., I am now at 135, yay me. I am wearing a size 4-6, and loving it, I have no saggy skin, just a little bat wing but nothing major. My muscle tone is good, I've made major career changes, I quit my professional job to do something I've always wanted to do, I'm in Cosmetology school full time and loving it, so I don't regret any of my decisions and plus my husband and daughter has been very supportive.

Very very happy for you rocking the rny beautiful lady! congratulations and love life. im impressed you made the career change . its all about inner happiness

To piggy back yocolefleets post, I interviewed last week for a position at Mayo Clinic doing something completely different than what I've done for the last 20 years of my career. I am excited, nervous and really proud of myself for taking the chance. A year ago, I wouldn't have had the confidence to make a move like this. I made it to the second round of interviews on Friday meeting with the physicians associated with this particular program and they all went well. In fact two of the doctors said, "I look forward to working with you". I should find out next week or the following. If I don't get the job, I am still happy because I made the step. I'm very comfortable in my current role and trying for something so different is very exciting!

So YoColeFleet, we are sisters in recognizing our inner strength and following dreams. P.s. I just love your short hair! it is so cute on you. Very Halley Berry.
