This Challenge has given me the impetus to actually keep going, when in the past I have slipped back each time I got near to my goal weight. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement. It has been invaluable to me.

Turning 40 in March. Have gained weight steadily since a running injury 3 years ago. Had high blood pressure and sugar for first time at last dr appt. Time to stop trying to do something I can't do anymore, commit to a new exercise routine, and beat my sugar addiction!

Started this seriously when I went to the doc and the scale tipped 200.4 9 days ago. I used to always say to myself "well, I'm not 200" Now I am 200. I have faithfully been staying under my calorie count, going to the gym every week day and doing at least an hour workout on the arc trainer plus strength training two days a week. Needle has not moved one bit. Wondering what I could be doing wrong? Any advice would be awesome! I am 54 years old, have 5 kids and a very active job.

@Diekmann65 measure and weigh absolutely everything and track every single tiny thing.

Check your TDEE using an online calculator vs how many calories you are eating. If you are in a calorie deficit then you will lose weight - approx 3500 calories less than you are burning every day (which is your TDEE plus exercise) .

So if your TDEE is 1500 calories and you burn 500 more from exercise then if you eat 2000 calories you will stay the same weight, if you eat 1500 per day then you'll lose a pound a week.

Also research shows we tend to always underestimate what we eat and overestimate the exercise we do too.

And remember your weight fluctuates up and down by a few pounds depending on the time of day, depending on time of the month, depending on your macro split the day before etc etc etc. Looking at your loss over a 4 week period is far more accurate than day by day.

Keep at it and track/ weigh all of you food - little bites here and there add up fast!
The past week my scale wouldn't budge either....you just need to keep pushing until you see those numbers move!
Wow, 5 kids! They must keep you busy!

RoseyandReady

Food was going off the rails yesterday evening and this morning... brought myself back..under calories today and worked out tonight. Trying to be consistent and patient.
