Omg I'm almost at 1 year

It's almost been a year and I'm not at my goal weight yet. I've got some work to do. Any suggestions on a jumpstart?

@@Justicenga in order to comment, we need a little more information. How far from goal are you? Do you keep track of your calories and carbs? How often do you exercise?

As far as a jumpstart goes, I'm not sure if the motivational benefit of quick weight loss is enough to overcome the diet mentality. A steady step by step process may actually get you where you want to go faster.

I haven't updated my profile in awhile. I'm down 75lbs.

I workout with a trainer 3 days a week and the I have homework from the trainer 2 days a week. I do a lot of weight lifting. I was recently bitten by the 5K bug and now I have 3 races coming up.

That's a lot of lbs - congrats! Are you still as mindful as you were in the beginning -- tracking what you eat, limiting refined carbs, etc.? For me, at 6 months, I find myself slipping into complacency. Haven't logged my food or drinks in weeks and am struggling with grazing -- especially since the bad weather is making me work from home more with access to the refrigerator.

For me, at 6 months, I find myself slipping into complacency.

I think I'm having the same problem. I track my food every now and then. I'm definite a grazer. In the beginning I would go ballistic if I didn't get my carbs in now I just shrug it off. I have to get it together. My goal was to be at 100 lbs by my 40th birthday. That's just around the corner.

I going in for my 6 month checkup in a little while and I do feel like they're going to be disappointed in me for not losing more. But even though I've only lost about 5 lbs in the last 6 weeks -- I am shrinking. Went from a an Xlg in tops to a large and from a 16P to a 14 or sometimes a 12 in pants. I work out a lot - mostly resistance and balance, hard to do do much cardio with my bad knees, so I have actually gained muscle since the surgery according to my fancy body composition scale. Sounds like you may be in a similar situation. I think I justify the grazing because of the exercise. I really need to get my s**t together soon.
