Hi Christina,
I hope I'm not too late, one of my friends on MFP invite me to join this group (Galathea), I thought itrs a good idea since I've started the support here has been of the chart, so I need the extra motivation. I usually weight myself on Saturdays every two weeks, hope thats not a problem.
I started this site a month ago at 235 lbs
My current weight is 232 ( I know, I am not loosing it fast enough)
My goal weight is 150 which is a long way to go, but I know i'll get there eventually)0 -
the chart looks great! thanks for all your hard work 0

hey fellow challenge members,
i'm writing in hopes of some advice...i just can't seem to break this plateau! i've boosted my workouts, tried new workouts (walking on an incline, kickboxing, a balance class), spiked my calorie intake (from 1200 to 1500), zig-zagged my calories for the week, eaten exercise calories, not eaten exercise calories--nothing seems to break past 158. it's so frustrating because I think I'm doing everything right--any suggestions //advice?0 -

maybe change/mix up some of the foods in your diet, and the times that you exercise, i know it's not much but it's worth a shot! and make sure you're getting in your water 0 -
Jaci, I was in the same position, no change in weight for forever. One of the things several people mentioned to me was to try to lift heavier/fewer reps on strength days (as well as increase cals, stagger, the other things that you're already doing). I used to be a pilates/yoga kind of person, but I'm really starting to like seeing my muscles I haven't "bulked up" but I did finally lose a few lbs, we'll see what the scale says this Friday. The other advice I got was to adjust my macronutrients and seriously watch my sodium (still working on that one!). I changed to 50/30/20 (protein/carbs/fat) but was too tired on that so am now at 40/40/20 which I really like. 0

I feel like I have been at a plateau for a long time as well, but really, when I think about it, plateaus usually happen after I have been using a plan for about 6 weeks, and I begin to get lazy about measuring or don't count everything. I also find that the older I get, the harder it is to make a difference.
Stick with it and change will happen. Sometimes plateaus make me get really discouraged and then I just say the heck with it and binge for a few days. I am trying really hard to not do that this time.
Ultimately, what makes my scale move is running, eating a low fat balanced diet including lots of veggies, drinking lots of water, and no beer or margaritas :happy:0 -

Boy do I hear you on the alcohol! I'm not a huge drinker, but when I do have a night out (maybe once a month tops!) the scale hates me the following weigh in time. Tempted to try that Hungry girl drink/appetizer book that came out - this way I can have fun, but not drink crazy calories!0 -
Dont forget everyone! TOmorrow is the day! Send me your weights in a msg, on my wall or post it here in the thread! Cant wait to hear from everyone!0

Today's my lucky day...sounds like just the group I need to join. I joined MFP July 2009 and lost 26 pounds. I was at 199 for a few weeks and then quit logging in. Gained it all back by Feb 2010 and now I'm working to keep it off for good. MFP really works if I log in my food and exercise. This should be a great group!

Christina, I'm going to post my weigh in today because the girls from work are taking me out for girls night before the wedding. I still have 1100 kcal left and I did work out before, but just in case, I weighed in today instead SW 138, last weigh in 135.8, now 135. Down 0.8lbs. Not sure if I get to count it if it's not a full lb, but there you go. Hope everyone is doing well! 0

I'm down 4.4 pounds. YEA! I was at this place a couple weeks ago, before I went on vacation, so I know most of this is vacation weight, but it's gone and I can get down to serious business. :bigsmile:0
