Cant get out of the 80's !

[KimberlyBranco7 64]

Omg, I have been going up and down like roller coaster with this weight. I am stuck at 185.3 and don't know how to get down.

I have been drinking the shakes, exercising and more !

Does anyone know a way I can change this ?

Am I stuck in the 80's for good ?

I am beginning to believe my body doesn't want to be skinny

Breath... you got this... you know we are all going to have stalls (everyones stall is different) for the last 3 weeks i too was stuck in the 180's (until today!) Do you keep track of what you are eating & drinking? i wasnt, i felt that i was doing everything that i should, but i have totally been sucking on keeping a log and i know my Water intake has been less then par... but this past weekend, i did only potein (shakes twice a day, and just fish, shrimp, or egg whites for my other meal) i walked a little longer & a little faster & tried to get in more Water then i normally do even if it wasnt what i should have, just trying to get more in... today the scale said 179...

This worked for me, it might not work for you... but i have found when i stall for more then 2weeks ... i shake it up with more Protein shakes in my day & that seems to help... Good luck!!!

Ive had that problem ever since I got below 200. Spent what seemed like forever bouncing back and forth between 180 and 185, finall went down, now bouncing between 170 and 175. Loss has slowed to 3 to 5 pounds a month, which feels like nothing because its not a steady loss anymore. Just step back and look at a few months at a time and realize you're still making progress, even if stalls are becoming more frequent. It will happen!

Me too. 185-180 took seven weeks. Now that I have it 179, it looks like every pound is going to be a hard-fought battle of its own. Oh well.....keep at it.

I too am stuck in 80's, 183 for a week now. But I know it will pass. When I feel discouraged I just look back to where I started.

I've been stuck at 164-167 for a few months. The lower your weight, the bigger the struggle, at least for me. My body is very efficient at hanging on to every calorie!

Omg.....I am so glad to see others going thru this.... I am stuck between 182 - 180 for the last 2 weeks..... I have only lost 60 pounds and it's been 32 weeks. Afraid I'm not going to make goal within year......started back on liquids today....am going to try only this for 10 days and see what happens

[hopeful2 be slim 121]

you have lost 60 lbs...wow..quite an achievement...dont worry...you will loose since you are so determined..but dont get stressed...its the worst thing for weight loss.

[KimberlyBranco7 64]

I am increasing my Protein and working out more! I'm starting to realize its a tool I need to work with. I won't get FIT if I don't WORK.

[hopeful2 be slim 121]

thats very true...the sleeve is a tool. and we have to make it work for us. I was so stressed about my weight...but now I am not...so my sleeve is also responding...

more Protein more exercise and more Water.

all the best.

This just solidifies what I have already been thinking. I was stuck at 186 for several weeks, then seemed to get to 181 over 2 weeks then stuck again for weeks... I'm at 176 now and have been for a couple weeks... I think as we get closer to goal, it is harder, for me (not sure if it is the same for most girls) I just don't lose in my luetal phase. I might even gain a pound or two in that 3 week phase (I have a prolonged luetal phase). Then I have a couple weeks where loss occurs... Less as goal gets closer.

This is definitely a journey of patience and faith!

Am I glad to hear that others face this same struggle! Not glad u r struggling by any means...just good to know it's not just me! I was really feeling like I had failed at this journey,even if I kept those thoughts to myself,they were there. I've been stuck between 186-189 for over three months!!!! Started exercising ....nothing.....more exercising ...nothing...have been keeping food log and will start today by doing the Protein only. shakes and one meal. Also will increase my Water. Here's hoping I can budge that stupid scale!!!!

Just checking in I am still stuck in the 80s..... How is everyone else doing
