    I haven't read through 14 pages of comments; but I did check your food diary and you are not eating your 1500 calorie goal ... no where near that. Perhaps before giving up, eat what you should. Some days you either don't eat or you don't log, either way ... go back to the basic .... look at your diary yourself when you lost the 14 pounds and see what was different then vs now.

    Never, ever give up on yourself!

    I gave up too many times to even count, which is why I have spent almost my entire adult life overweight. Now that I have found the things that work for me, I wonder why its taken me so long...

    One of the reasons is that I really never thought I could succeed. Losing weight and being thin was like an impossible dream, and in my mind, it was never going to happen. That is why it never did...I put my own roadblocks in the way.

    Are YOU putting roadblocks in YOUR way? Are you sabotoging your own efforts?

    Instead of giving up, get determined. Find out the cause. Why isn't this working? Are you counting your intake calories correctly and are you being honest about them?

    Losing weight is 85% diet.

    See a nutritionist. Have your thyroid checked. Keep trying. Otherwise, you're just a quitter, and you will gain nothing by quitting...except more weight.

    UMMM.. maybe you're eating too little and putting the body in starvation mode? Up your calories. EAT MORE AND YOU'LL LOSE WEIGHT.Where will you be if you give up?Ugh!

    In the interest of maintaining this thread length people should stop blaming their Thyroid for everything. The thyroid is an easy thing to control and to check.
    The woman did open her diary and she eats crap, often eats under 1200 calories. I know we slow down when we get close to goal so sometimes changing things up helps but many times you just have to wait out your body. Those fat cells are in there screaming fo r you to feed them and plump them up. Deny those flat cells long term and they will eventually give up....I hope!!

    Well i got something out of it - that topic about starvation mode is a myth and eating under a calorie deficit will lose weight.

    You're the same chick who tried to discount IIFYM and *****ed about it not working when you did it wrong... So now you feel like you can listen to someone? It's not exactly accurate info though. Good luck with that.

    Thanks for so publicly giving up! Thanks to your public defeat and the LONGEST thread ever...I have evaluated my calorie intake, up my treadmill incline (to13.... woo!), vowed not to eat all of my exercise calories in case I've made an error and have renewed motivation! Western Caribbean cruise for Christmas with confidence.....here I come

    Yes, I am the author of that topic. To clarify I thought IIFM did not make sense, so I did a test and "thought" i was doing IIFYM, however, turns out my experiment was wrong. And yes, in the past week, actually on page 12 or so, of this very topic, someone put up a link to the starvation myth and what it would take to lose weight (calorie deficit) and it was a Eureka moment. Amazing but true. I do believe starvation mode according to that article explains it. You're free to disagree with it though.

    Of course, I can listen to someone, you must have thought I am one of those closed minded stubborn people who dont learn. but i do.. sometimes faster, sometimes slower, sometimes with disbelief at first, but then if its true, it will sink in.

    do a juice fast! guaranteed to kick start some losses. Then give up sugars, processed food, you'll definitely get results.:heart:

    I will hazard some guesses:

    OP = (or was) perfectly healthy
    OP has been eating way too little
    OP has been going at the cardio way too strong

    OP should:
    1. gradually start eating more (increase 200 calories per week)
    2. stop doing cardio more than three times per week, unless she has a cardio fetish, but then need to eat more
    3. pause eating more at 2000 calories and ride it out for a month
    4. after that gradually decrease/increase calories by 200 every 3 weeks depending on what the scale says

    If you're still confused, I'll be happy to explain the term "attention wh*re" for you.

    Did you stop to think that its because you hit the perfect weight and fitness level for you body??? You look amazing and curvy. I wouldn't want to go any skinnier and be bony. I am just saying that when I lost weight before, I was determined to get to my prepregnacy weight of 118. I could not for the life of me eat healthy and do everything right (like it sounds that you are doing) and get anywhere below 122. With that being said, I was hungry everyday and didn't feel so healthy. It is just not the weight my body wants to be. So I gave up... years and years later and ups and downs with my weight and I am back again but this time is for good. Don't stop being healthy, drinking water or exercising... But maybe you could work on maintaining what you are. At least for some months. I am telling you that the maintaining part is the biggest challenge to over come. Stay strong and try to get a better perspective on things. YOu look amazing!!

    What would have happened over the last 9 months if you hadn't been doing all you've been doing? Would you have gained 10lbs? Would your health have improved?

    I hope this helped the original poster, because it certainly helped me! Thanks!

    What's worse slow progress or no progress? What are you going to tell yourself in the mirror a year from now if you quit?

    Analyze what you are doing and find the problem or quit, It's that simple.

    I just wanted to say, I read ALL 16 pages :drinker:

    OP: do it right. Weigh and log ALL your food, get a hrm to track exercise calories, be consistent about this for at least 6 weeks and then report back. That is all.
