The battle in my head...

I am not stuck but need to re evaluate for this last 16kg (30+ pounds). For some reason, 16kg seems more daunting than the original 49kg. But I am going back to square one. My life has changed dramatically with 5mth old in house. I haven't lost motivation and I know that new habits have kept me from blowing out..I just need to find new ways around current situation (also been sick n kids and frustrated)!!!

Sweetheart, I know it is discouraging... But just look at how far you have come! I am so proud of the progress you're making. You have lost an entire person! And always remember that your weight loss starts to slow down over time. Don't beat yourself up. Just keep what you've been doing. Maybe make a few tweaks here and there, like committing to taking a hike while you're camping. But other than that, just know that you have made amazing strides on this journey, and tha you are an awesome and beautiful woman who deserves this!

I feel where you are coming from and I'm only down 2 lbs to your 160. Like someone said before, you are my inspiration!! You should be so proud of where you are today and just know that "this too shall pass" and you will be on your way.

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!! 160 lost your kickin A--. Great job. You must have been doing something right. It will all work its self out and you will be losing again. Just make time for yourself. Make others wait. 30-60 min. will not hurt anyone in your family if they have to wait for you. This is for a healthier you.

Today I worked outside at work in 90 degree weather. It sucked let me tell you. I was hot and tired and lazy feeling. I got off work and went home to a house that was in the hight 80's. That sucked too. But I knew I had to workout because my goal is to workout monday thru friday with weekends off. However it was just to hot. I went in my room changed into my workout clothes and did a four mile cardio walk in my livingroom while my two girls 18 and 19 watched me workout. My husband came home early from work and was there watching me too. They were wondering about dinner. Guess they had to wait because this was for me and it is something I said I was going to do. I didn't want to do it but I did it. When I was done then I got them dinner. I also did another one mile after dinner before my shower. Sometimes you just have to push yourself even when you don't feel like doing it or because your mind is full of all the things waiting for you. Funny thing is those things will always be waiting for you. Just make an hour a day for you. You deserve it. You are worth it. You can do it.

Keep up the good work you will get there. I just hope to do half as well as what you have already accomplished. Your fantastic!!

OMG...Please don't let these last two months deminish your accomplishments...You have lost 160 pds.!!! Wow!!! Congrats!...This weight loss journey is not a smooth road it has its ups and downs. Right now you are just going over several bumps but it is no reason not to stay on track. Keep on exercising and eating healthy and you will get through this. I am not on my second week of not seeing those numbers move so I understand what you are going through. My pattern has been that I lose for 1 or two weeks than I stall for a week or two and than I lose...you get the idea. I really felt like giving up but I decided to relook at what I am doing and try something new. Last week I committed to the C25K program in hopes of moving that scale and decreasing my carbs. Maybe you just need to shake things up a little. Try a different workout....One of my MFP pals posted this quote on his feed and it has helped me during these last two weeks. Hopefully, you will find some movitation in this quote....“The only thing standing between you and your goal is the B.S. story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.” If you want, send me a FR. I would me more than glad to movitate you. Good luck with your journey...I have faith in you that you can do this and that you will get pass this dip.

Babymine55, No girl you are definitley not the only one... I too have this problem (among others) For starters I HATE to weigh in, I will avoid it at all lengths... I know how do I know if I'm losing if I don't get on the scale? It has been my enemy for so long I can't see it as a "possible friend" so I don't weigh in... When I was 18yrs old I became pregnant with Twins! Yes Twins! I was a size 9, 5'9" Tall, and I weighed 142lbs... I have not seen that since (My boys are 21yrs old now) I have had a constant battle physical and mental with my weight... I really became an issue in 1995 when my boyfriend at the time (13yrs older than myself) wrote my weight on the calander! Yes for all to see and that is what started my dowhill struggle with food and weight... I fight it everyday and people who don't have this problem don't understand and they try to be supportive but don't really know how deep it goes unless they have been there... So girl no your not alone in this journey!!! Sorry if I was rambling I just wanted someone to know that they are not alone... Best of Luck to you and add me if you would like to... Have a great day!!! AND CONGRATS ON THE 160LBS LOST SO FAR KEEP IT UP YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
