slow loser

By the looks of your ticker it doesn't look like you have a lot left to lose~ like myself. They say it's harder to lose those last bits than anything.
I also feel that slower is better and that we will keep the weight off easier. My thing is that I can feel like I am on a diet and to keep restricting myself from foods/drinks I enjoy. Once we hit our weight loss goal we definitely don't want to end up gaining it all back by going back to our old routines.
Eventually you will get there. Slow and steady wins the race!!

I'm a slow loser as well. It can be disheartening at times because you give it your all to only see the scale move such a small degree. In the past I have let that halt my progress. I weigh my food and account for everything I eat. I wear a HRM when I exercise as well as a bodymedia fit band. This time I've come to the realisation that I'm a slow loser and that as long as the scale is moving the in the opposite direction I will be happy with whatever I get. A loss is a loss. Plus I know I'm getting stronger and healthier and that is as important to me as the weight loss.

slow loser if better than fast... if u take it off to fast u will probably put it back on that way too. Stick to the script. Don't shoot for being under.. try to be on the mark, it's not always easy to do... I didn't do it yesterday but I was working to jobs and left my food at my first job (dumb me). Drink lots of water and exercise. I don't eat back my exercise calories, don't really get it. But some do. Do what works for u. Don't get discouraged. Take pictures and measurements if you haven't. Incorporate strenghth training in ur exercise. Good luck.

it's frustrating for me. It's taken 5 months for me to lose 35 lbs. some weeks I dont lose anything. and then other weeks I lose 3 or 4lbs.

we just gotta keep swimming while our progress might be slow, IT'S STILL PROGRESS!

I'm a slow loser too! But still a loser, so not complaining too much. : )
I think it's okay as long as it's steady, of course with the occasional plateaus. A loss of 5 pounds a month is super healthy! That's about 1 pound per week and that's how it's supposed to be for a sustainable weight loss. I don't believe in losing 3 lbs per week, because that often means the diet is too restrictive and that the person will put that weight on again after they go back to their normal habits.
Don't give up, you're getting there. Also, if I look at your ticker, you don't have much left to lose. I've heard that it's harder to lose those few last pounds, so hang in there and work hard. You rock.

Another slow loser here! I have been faithfully tracking my food and exercising 4x a week (cardio and strength) and have lost 16lbs since March. I have started to accept that I'm just going to take longer to get to my goal weight. I'm not perfect and have slipped on my food choices over the months and missed a workout here and there. But I'm doing this for life and will take as long as need be to make the healthier habits become second nature. I have many NSV (non scale victories) along the way. I ran my first 5k Sept. 30th and I'm stronger and more flexible than I was this time last year! I have gone down 2 sizes in my clothes and am enjoying the changes in my shape and growing muscles! I have more energy and am overall very happy with my progress. I'm doing things now that I never imagined myself doing and it feels fantastic!!
