half way to my goal and its getting difficult

Wtg you have done so good.. I have been doing this for two years and even though it's a daily struggle I just keep plugging along and love seeing and hearing from others about my result... You can do this.. Don't give up hun.

Super loss! The second half is always harder. The blush is off the rose. The novelty has worn off a bit.
And the first pounds do go off easier. Partly because you drop a fair bit of water weight.
Leveling out your micros, macros, vitamins minerals etc. Makes you feel better.
Sad, but true you get used to feeling that way. It's not new anymore!
Your body catches up to your exercise program. It wants you to 'step it up'
As you lose weight, your body needs fewer calories. Smaller body less food.
But not so little it's restrictive. I have a goal. A major physical adventure vacation.
While working on the weight loss, I'm also saving up money , so I won't have to put it on credit.
A three fold motivation. And yes I still rely heavily on my MFP friends.
Stick with it Cindy. You're on this thing.

I have also just passed the 1/2 way point and hit a rough patch. I was all gung ho in the beginning and now I'm hitting a slump. Part of it is because MFP reduces the amount of calories I can eat every time I lose 10 pounds. This feature has been great because I haven't had too many plateaus so far. But I miss those little extras I used to have during the day. And in order to have them, I now have to EXERCISE. Uck, ackkkk, euwww...exercise. But I've been doing it and I'm actually starting to enjoy some of it. Other people posting say it gets better so I'm hanging in there. I certainly feel better.

I also decided that I could take a week off and just maintain. Not binge, or go crazy, but not be on reduced calories. I could reset my goals to 0 pounds per week loss and have a few things that I have been missing since I started 6 months ago. I haven't done it, but knowing that I could gave me a second wind to keep going.

I also have my bi-annual appointment with my cardiologist coming up in 2 weeks. So I have the external motivation of wanting to make a good showing to him. Two and a half years ago when I smoked, weighed close to 300, just hit age 60, had high blood pressure and cholesterol, I was told I had a 30% chance of having a heart attack or stoke in the next 10 years. At my last appointment, with stopping smoking and only losing about 20 pounds at that time, he said my odds were down to 8%. So I'm looking forward to even lower odds now.

So I guess what I'm saying is to try to enjoy the little goals along the way (10 lb. loss, a compliment here and there, a new pants size, etc.). Hopefully, it will help you stay on track. And you did the right thing posting to MFP. I'm sure there will be lots of others cheering you on. I am.

It took me over a year to get through that 'hump'. It just takes motivation and accountability. Accountability is what gets me through the hardest days!

I have lost 90 and not sure what my goal is until I reach it. I am in the same boat with you. It does get tougher with the second half of weight to lose. Mine has slowed down a lot since I can not swim right now. I try walking and it kills me from past foot problems but I still manage to try to get in a few walking days a week, Mostly in a mall or WalMart where it is safe. I am not giving up, I am around half way there give or a take a few pounds. I have also noticed this, I lose weight a few pounds then I have a water weight gain that I have to battle sometimes over a week when I finally get it back down I lose a few more pounds then the water weight starts climbing again. It makes me feel fatter because I am so bloated from water weight. Hang in there though, look how far you have come!
