I've lost 7 lbs so far....seems like I'm at a stand still.... :sad:

Starting to lose motivation...but the good news is I started at 206 lbs and I'm out of the 200s....I'm now stuck at 199lbs.....and I've been stuck there for over a week....any ideas on why???

I would love to lose another 10 lbs by xmas...and I know its possible but if my body would just co-operate.....I want to surprise my parents....haven't seen them since 2nd week of october and I would love for them to see me about 15-20lbs lighter for xmas......

Losing hope over here!!!!! :explode:

    Hello :) Went to take a look at your food diary to see if I could offer any pointers, but it looks like you don't have it viewable to the public.

    What are your meals looking like? How are you on exercise? Are you drinking lots and lots of water? I've found that a piece of fruit and glass of water just before each meal helps me to feel full and eat less - plus makes sure I get my 5 a day fruit/veggie and enough water.

    Hmmm...my food diary is not public? I thought it was...

    Breakfast is either oatmeal or special k cereal with banana

    Lunch, tuna sandwich or egg

    Dinner is chicken salad

    Hmmm, added you and still can't see it, weird :)

    Based on what you said your average day is though; are you getting enough calories? Sometimes if you burn a lot, but don't eat a lot, your body can go into starvation mode and actually hold on to the extra weight.
