Just looking for others in a similar weight battle. Not alot to lose so it's slow and frustrating at times. Seeing other ppl lose lbs a week makes me happy for them but super sad for me and I tend to eat.
«134

    DON'T BEAT YOURSELF DOWN ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT. TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME AND YOU WILL SEE SOME RESULTS.

    I was 150 lbs before I started myfitnesspal in June. Now I am at 136 lbs and feeling much more comfortable in my own skin. I agree, it can seem slow sometimes, especially when you hit the 130's range, but just keep at it and you can see results eventually. Be patient. :)

    I'm in the same area. Going from 158 to 135. I understand feeling sad when you aren't losing quite as fast as others but remember the more you have to lose the faster you lose it. So if you only need to lose 20 pounds it might not fall off in just a matter of weeks are you doing it the healthy way. We will get there we just need to keep at it. :smile:

    I commented upon this last night on a forum post, it's frustrating when it comes off slowly, for me it's taken 8 months to lose 16lbs, but I take comfort in the fact that it won't go back on that quickly (if at all!) just keep plodding away!

    I started at 162 and my goal is 124 - I have been up and down from 128-133 for weeks. I also struggled from 137-133 for many weeks, so I am not going to stress About it, because I am confident that if I keep doing what I am doing, I will eventually get there

    Im just as frustrated too. Been doing this for 3 weeks and still @ 143, trying to get to 130. Doesnt seem like much but in past year I have lost 60 pounds, now that Im at the end it just wont go away. I do the P90X exercise video & I know muscle is being added but still shouldnt take so long, at least I dont think. Hang in there! We can get thru this...you can add me, I need support too...lots of it, as of how i feel this morning, Im ready for some major chocolate & say the heck with it.

    I'm in that area. Started over a year ago at 162lbs and got down to 147. Plateaued, slacked off, and last week I realized I was back up to 156lbs. :angry: So back to working out & tracking foods, my goal is to get down to 145lbs (or at least 150 then readjust if necessary) and go from there. It is a slow process!

    Just remember slow and steady wins the race! When you don't have a lot to lose, it's gonna be more difficult! Plus, keep doing what you're doing for the health of it! I'm sure you are taking much better care of your body right now, and that's worth the effort!
    I'm in the same boat! Started 3 1/2 months ago. 5'8“. Weighed in at 152, my goal is to lose until my leg fat is gone! Currently at 134 this morning actually! Was stuck at 136 forever, so I was shocked to finally see some movement! I think I'm shooting for 130, so I'm awfully close, but at this rate, could take a month or more! I'm so very determined, and will just keep on keepin on! Thinking about raising my calories as I've read that it helped your body realize you are truly feeding it. Anyone can feel free to add me, as we will all be reaching our goals soon and will enter maintenance together! (I must say, I'm truly worried about maintenance. I don't understand how losing this weight has been so hard with a big calorie defecit, yet when I eat quite a few more calories I will stay the same and not gain? Gonna want want to hear from friends on that one!

    dawnmichelea - that's good to know- I'm also 5'8" and wondered if my goal of 145lbs would be unreasonable for my height. I know it varies from person to person. and of course I'm more concerned with how my shape changes, same as you - lose that leg fat (and belly fat!). :happy: Well, one step at a time, and getting healthier in the process, even if it is slow going.

    I started at 150 and am now about 138. It is a slow process. It took me 4 months to lose those 12 lbs! Just hang in there and keep pushing through this battle. It only gets better along the way. :smile:

    Oh, this is SO me! Slow, slow, slow loss! I'm determined to keep it up, though. Every time I've ever heard the story, the tortoise wins!
