Halfway to goal- for too long

marylynndrake

Hi all,
From Dec2013-May2014 I lost about 40lbs. I am halfway to my goal. For about 2 months I've just not had the focus that I had before. I have not gained weight but my weekly calendar is showing my weekly goals go by and I really wanted to be 6 lbs lower than I am right now. I am regrouping. I know I can do this. Those first 40 came off relatively easily. What have others done to kick-start themselves again? Thanks in advance for sharing!

I've had the same thing happen. I got along great and lose a certain amount of weight and then I lose all motivation. What I did was just walk away from it for say, a week. Then come back recharged and ready to lose some more. Also the more weight you lose and smaller you get the slower it comes off and that can be somewhat discouraging as well. But if you are making good food choices and keeping active, that, to me, is more important to me than the number on the scale (but hey, who doesn't want to see that number budge when you work so hard?). So maybe a breather would help, just make sure you come back!!!
