    14 pounds away from goal...

    edited March 3 in Health and Weight Loss
    So, I'm 14lbs. away from goal weight, and I haven't lost any weight in the last 3 weeks...holding steady at 124. GW is 110. I've been mostly pretty good with my diet, and doing 2 hours of exercise daily most days. Working hard.... Maybe the lack of a drop is due to monthly fluctuations, or possibly inaccurate logging? I usually try to be pretty good about it. I don't want to quit at 124....I guess I'll just have to stay the course and trust the process. Anyone ever been in a similar situation? Am I getting close to "vanity pounds" territory? Psychologically, I'm already planning for maintenance but I don't want to maintain until I get to my GW! It's a little bit of a mind blower. If anyone has been through anything similar, I'm open to suggestions! Thanks in advance.

      I'd love to be 5,2. I'm 5,8... it maybe personal preference but I just think smaller people look better and are cuter..

      I am 18lbs away from mine and haven't lost any in over a month, so I feel your pain! I upped my workouts and changed my calorie intake to .5lbs a week and still haven't had any success. If you figure it out, let me know! I'm 5'9, SW was 204, CW is 158, GW is 140. It's so frustrating!

      Just pretend like you just started and have 15 lbs to lose.

      Congratulations on a job well done. 3 weeks can be water retention from your increased workouts as two hours a day is pretty intense. I would just hold tight, as whatever you've been doing has obviously been working.

      I'm just under 5'2" myself and weigh 118. I did get down to the 114's before JMBR, but I've put on muscle and now am up almost 4 lbs. I think 110 might be too low - it is the very bottom of our weight range (for our height). What size is your frame? Unless you are small boned you might be looking to go too low. How do you look and feel....how are your clothes fitting? I would go more by that than a number on the scale (which can drive you nuts). Maybe try to get to 120 and reassess how realistic 110 really is for a GW.
