    ARGH...this is frustrating...I can SEE a difference...but neither the scale nor the inches are budging. But I look more smooth...stomach looks flatter, much less cellulite (yes I have plenty in my legs LOL). I guess I'll check-in when I see a difference. :grumble:

    Okay...I've made a comprehensive plan in an Excel sheet for the date, the workout, and the number of calories I'll eat every day from now until Jan 4th when I return to work. I'm going home Dec. 19th. It's going to be tough to stay focused, but it will be a little easier with everything planned out. I'm zig-zagging 1300-1400 cal/day, added fasted cardio a couple times a week, and even have a couple 1200 calorie days after my few free calorie days. This weekend I'm having a healthy refeed and eating 2000 cals/day Sat and Sun. I WILL attain my goal!!!

    Ok, I'm kinda sick of being stuck at 184! Three weeks. UGGG!!! Gotta come up with a plan to get those pounds to budge. What I've been doing doesn't seem to be working anymore, so time for something new.

    Lisa,

    Change up your exercise routine, if you ahve been doing the same stuff each week you body kinda learns. So add some more weight training or new cardio exercises.

    Good luck!

    I don't have a lot of suggestions, but I can tell you to stop! (Of course, this is the pot calling the kettle!:blushing: ) Stop and think before you eat. It helps. Doesn't always stop me, but it helps.

    Id have to agree with Lisa. Not sure why i had an epiphany recently but. Now when i eat things i ask if what im going to eat is really worth the gym time- gym = getting up at 530 when its cold and yucky.... some reason thats helping me.

    I even made cookies this weekend for the house. I ate exactly 2 because i had the calories to do so. Instead of buying the package and leaving them on the counter....

    Morning ladies!!

    I am SUPER excited because I got back down to 130.6 WITH carbs. I am really burning through it now! I have also lost 3.75 inches in the past 5 weeks, which is really good since I'm already fairly lean. Today I could see faint definition in the sides of my abs, woohoo! I will change my goal to 129 by New Years to keep it healthy and realistic.

    Woohooo!!!! Did it! FINALLY! Broke that 184 hold that I had goin' on. Don't think I'll make the 175 goal, but I've made my original goal of 185. So no sad faces here. Wish I knew exactly what I did that made it happen. I do have to say that I finally convinced my husband to eat some beef this past week. Doubt that did it, but after over a month of chicken and fish I really was craving it. (VERY unusual for me to CRAVE meat!) So perhaps I will adjust my goal to 180. Two weeks to get there. Surely I can do that!
