Started MFP at 165
2 weeks ago: 160
Last week: 160
This week: 156!!!!!

I'm finally dropping weight again. I had been dropping inches, but not weight. It's been hard for me to move from 160... either up or down Last year I ate like crap and never exersized and never budged from 160... this year I started eating right and exersizing and... couldn't move from 160. Finally I'm in the 150's!!! I'm really excited.

Just wanted to post a little celebration - as of this week, I am no longer OBESE! My BMI has dropped to 29.6!

:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

For the folks struggling with plateaus - hang in there! :flowerforyou: Some things to try if you haven't already:

1. Drinking more water. I find this helps keep my scale results more consistent, if nothing else - less bouncing around due to H2O retention,
2. Eating breakfast. I never used to be a breakfast person, but after forcing myself to eat a little something first thing in morning I now find that I am hungry for breakfast. I take this as a sign that my metabolism is WAKING UP and ready to go - so this has got to be a good thing.
3. Eating smaller meals and snacks throughout the day. Again, trying to keep the metabolism awake and burning those calories for you - instead of sleeping and storing them!
4. Adding strength training to your routine if you aren't already doing some. Anything that kicks your butt in a different way is good. :laugh:

I hope everyone has a great weekend! :drinker:
