    I confess that I can't seem to shake this "I've lost 70 pounds but I'm still fat, so why bother?" feeling. I really hate this endless middle part of a long term weight loss effort. I do look at pics from before and see that I'm a lot less fat than I was, and that helps sometimes... But ugh. I can't help but feeling like I'm doing all this work and standing in place. 90 pounds to go is significantly better than 160, but there is no end in sight and I feel stuck. And a little burnt out.

    Set little goals. That works for me. And hello you've already lost 70lb that's kind of amazing don't beat yourself up. Easier said than done because we all always see our faults and never see our progress but you're doing amazing. Keep up the good work

    Done.

    I have the calories for about 12 more shots of Jack. I'm daring not dumb.

    I have tolerance for about 4 or 5 more.

    Also not posting anymore here as to not endanger thread longevity.

    Thanks... I'm trying to focus on the little goals, but it's getting harder to do that. I've been focusing on the fitness goals to give myself a little change of pace, but the food started slacking. Pain in the butt.

    What about a break from logging food. just to give yourself a little break. Still eat well but maybe take a day or two off. you're doing great with the running so perhaps a reward? I rarely log anymore because i get this feeling like you have...what's the point.

    Also if you're running more you'll notice your body Changing and fat melting away. It's why I run despite having it

    This is true. I took a picture at the beginning of March, and one at the end, and my waist line was much more clearly defined, even though I'd only lost 6 pounds. I am trying to push hard for just another couple months until my beach vacation... but I'm not having much success. So much for motivation, heh.

    Since you're exercising you should probably start going more by measurements and how your clothes fit. Have you started adding any weights? I highly, highly recommend it.

    I *really* want to... But I don't go to a gym, and I'm kind of a chicken. I don't trust myself to follow a video correctly and do the lifts without hurting myself. I have a weight bench, bars, and plates. I just don't know what I'm doing and don't want to hurt myself. I need someone to come to my house and show me how not to break myself.

    I'm not sure. As far as I know, that requires a membership... and the closest gym is like 45 minutes away, so a little inconvenient. I didn't think about that, but I'll look into it and see if a session with a trainer is possible, and affordable.
