finally got past the plateau!

sierra_12

hi guys, I'm Sierra (:
I started my weight loss journey in August, 2012 at 260 pounds. I was tired of being so big and decided to do something about it! I got down to 230 fairly quickly, by November, but the last 30 I really struggled with.
After what seemed like ages, i finally reached 205 in March. Then i plateaued and got stuck at 205 for almost a month. This last month I upped my calorie intake and finally reached 200 pounds this morning!
My goal is to reach 190, I'm ready to get it done! thanks guys, I'll post more once I reach my next goal (:

*a side note, a few commented that I don't look like I'm 200 pounds. I forgot to post that I am almost 6'1'' and fairly big boned. (:

U look amazing! Job well done????. U don't look 200. I honestly look like I weigh more than u. What have u been doing? Eat clean? What type or exercise

sierra_12

Thanks guys (:

I eat about 1300 calories a day (i know a lot of people on here disagree with that calorie intake, but its worked for me)
Now that i have reached 200 pounds i am going to up my calories to 1500.
I do pretty intense cardio daily and strength training. I rotate muscle groups daily.

I have really been watching my protein and sugar intake. As a college student, I was eating way too much sugar and not near enough protein. Ive been trying to get better about that. Cutting down on the sugar is easier than getting my protein. (meat is expensive! and i only have a microwave to cook with at the dorms lol)

You are definitely working hard at this and the difference is amazing. Your last five pound loss looks like it is a lot more.

Got to admit I will be one of those that will be pleased that you are upping your calories.

Well done!

Are you very tall? Would never have guessed you were 260, 230, or 200. You carry your weight really well. Great job!

You didn't lose anymore weight but you were gaining muscle and becoming more toned. You look great. I started 95 days ago at 219 and have been stuck at 204 all March. I hit 201 today and will begin some light weight training. You're an inspiration.

I'd kill for that figure. Lovely waist and hips.

You are so pretty, I love your smile holding the 2 kids! cute. I have to say your 200 lbs look a lot better on you than it does on me....how tall are you? You look great, keep up the great work! emily

Gracie1214

LisforLee

i am just under 6'1'' (: you can call me Amazon Woman (; lol

thank you all so much! its hard for me to visually SEE the difference in my body (i suffer BDD, like most women) but how much better i FEEL is incredible!

yeah, I'm excited to see what upping my calorie intake will do.. sometimes i find it hard to even reach my 1300 daily goal, so i think 1500 might be pretty difficult. but nothing worth having comes easy, right? (:

dixiewhiskey

You look so good!! :drinker:

Your thread is inspiring not only cause of your results but the mention of upping cals.. I've been stuck around 166-168 for a few weeks, upped my cals 2 weeks ago, hovering more now around 166lbs. Hoping that eating 2000+ cals a day will help me lose again

Well done! Keep moving forward!
