Just looking for friends to keep me on track

Hello, everyone!

I am 5'3". Before starting this diet thing, I weighed 160 pounds. I am currently at 151.5. I have been stuck here for sometime and I don't know how to get off. I just really want to hit that 10 pound mark! And if I do, I would feel like I really accomplished something. But looking at the scale and seeing that I'm not losing anything is very discouraging and I lose the motivation to keep going. The reason why I started this diet thing was because I was bulimic, and have been for 2 years, and just recently finished the recovery process. I really don't want to go back to that road and I'm hoping to find friends who understand me and are supportive. Thanks!

Anyway, I think you've hit plateau. To bust it, I'd eat about 300-500 cals more for one day or completely change your workout routine in order to confuse your metabolism, so it'll speed up and you will start burning cals again.

Hi Violingirl - feel free to add me too! I really admire your courage and dedication in posting about your previous bolumia. It's a challange I KNOW you can overcome! I recommend increasing your protein - that will also give your metabolism a boost! I don't know if you like "power shakes", but my husband has had great success with Whet Protein Shakes. There are a variety of brands available.
I am also looking for friends to encourge me to keep on a healthy diet...I am always tempted by the quick weight loss I can get with a low/no carb diet for a week or so that is soooooooo unhealthy but soooooo easily effective! Ugh!

I got your back if you'll hang and support me

First- congrats on your recovery =] Feel free to add me as well! I need motivation and friends too lol. I get stuck all the time as well, only was I can usually get past it (is like a post before me said) to pych out my body for a day or two, eat more calories one day followed but lower calories the next and I have to up my exercise plan for a few days and kick booty. Lower weight you get, the harder you have to work ( stick I know lol )
Anyways, like i said feel free to add me

You should be so proud of yourself for overcoming it. I suffered from EDs for over 10 years before I finally was able to be stronger. I know the struggle, and have similar stats. Feel free to add me. We can do this!

Hi, I would love to be your friend. I don't know what your eating plan is but if you're taking way less calories than needed to loose weight your body can go into a starvation mode in which your metabolism slows way down and you use less calorie thus hit a plateue. It's better to eat close to your needed calories and increase your exercise. Good luck - keepin touch!
