Lost 100lbs and Need Motivation..

JenLosesIt

I've lost 100lbs the last 2 years and these last 20lbs are not coming off. I've lost motivation and find myself yo-yo ing up and down the same 10lbs. I'm looking for friends in the same boat and even friends with lots to go. I'm in this for the long haul!! Females only though please!!

I know what you mean. I've lost 80, finally under 200 and I keep screwing up! I do good for a few weeks then start to slip

I've got around 150 still to lose. Feel free to add me!

Sent a request. I lost 130 but have put 15ish back on. Working to get most of that back off!

I really think there's something about losing or needing to lose that much weight that no one who hasn't been there will ever understand. They mean well and tell you how good you look but it's a constant struggle, at least for me, especially lately, and I think about it all the time. Some days I feel like I was happier when I was larger, at least I wasn't analyzing all my food, but I know that's not really true. That's the thinking that trips me up!

I have lost 95 and still need to lose 35 more. Feel free to add me as this is definitely the hardest leg so far.

Use your progress pics as continued motivation. The last 10-20 is hard because you can't create such a large deficit. Just keep whittling away at it. Don't throw away all your hard work now!

That's exactly how I've been feeling lately! I love being thinner but I was "happier" feeling heavier. Or more carefree I should say. I sent you a request!

I feel your pain...i lost 135...and gained back 50! Now I am working on getting that 50 off and then losing the 70 to get to my ultimate goal. It is almost harder to stay motivated after a big loss I think. With me, I got busy...I was in grad school, working full time...I stopped really paying attention to what I was doing and got complacent. My brain slipped right back into old habits..and the result showed up on the scale! Sometimes I think that the more weight I lost, and the more people complimented me for it..the worse I felt about it. That totally makes no sense, I know. Its a process.

I lost 90 since January but recently had a set back and gained back 10 in the last month. For some reason it was easier for me to keep a weight loss calorie deficit when I first started. Now I'm still hungry when I eat maintaience calories - I used to be able to ignore my hunger but it's not as easy anymore.

I have been back on track the last four days, we all need to keep focused and remember the motivations we have for being healthy and fit!

Good luck to the OP and everyone else

Wow! Reading your post will be my motivator today! I'm on MFP almost 1,800 days... I know a gazillion ups and downs during that time but it never makes me "cut the chord" from MFP or my Fitbit! Today I will eat right in your honor! Remember to tell yourself "TGIF... Thank God I'm Fabulous"!
