    I haven't lost anything since Feb either! I am stuck. I am not sure which way I need to go. Low carb, no carb? I feel like I am eating like a rabbit and nothing is happening. After 1.5 yrs of this and only loosing 11 lbs I am getting very frustrated. I am not a person who enjoys exercise, though I wish I was. I love love love sweets and it is so hard to diet. I feel like I am constantly depriving myself. People say you cannot lose weight until you are really ready for change. I am really ready, just have such a hard time being able to fit even a little exercise in and even when I do, nothing shows for it. Any advice, because I am so on the verge of giving up right now. Thanks


    hang in there! this is hard, but you can do it! i love sweets too. i still eat sweets and bread, because for me i know eliminating everything i love will not work. everyone has a different approach, but my rule is i eat about half the quantity i want to or normally would. for bread i started buying the lower calorie buns (arnolds 100 cal wheat are good for sandwiches, burgers, or with breakfast). i buy reese's minis instead of the big cups or the 100 calorie packs of sweets/cookies - sometimes i try to just eat half of those too.
    i don't care for exercising either, but I was loosing more when i was doing it more regularly. i try to even get a walk in here or there. another thing that some people have recommended is calorie zig zagging - i sort of do this but not totally intensionally. basically every few days (2 or 3) you change up your calorie intake so your body doesn't get used the constant amount. i'm not sure you many cals you get a day but for myself with 1200 cal limit it's hard to fluctuate a whole lot, but i think even 100-200 calories can make a difference.

    don't give up! you are doing this for a healthier you :-)

    Thank you for your support. I like the little wheat sandwich rounds that are 100 cal. I think I am just getting bored because I always seem to be eating the same things. I am glad Summer is almost here so there will be alot more fruits and veggies to choose from! I have noticed that ALOT of people on here are set at 1200 calories. Wonder why that is? Mine is the same and I can sometimes meet it and most of the time I am under, depending on what I eat of course. I just need to get it back in my head that I need to exercise more each day. I am trying to talk my husband into buying me a treadmill for the house so I can walk no matter what the weather is outside. So the plan is there, I just need to put it into action! :)

    Well i've managed to get myself back down to 64.5kgs. I've increased me calories a bit and my body seems happy. I'm not going to make my goal LOL but I've lost heaps already and I'm pretty happy where I'm at. If i lose more then its just a bonus!

    but i do hope to be able to log at least a few more losses before this challenge ends :flowerforyou:

    weighing in later today. I'm a little excited and nervous.I've had some slilp ups this week. I haven't been perfect, but I still expect to see a loss. I have been eating more fruits and veggies, drinking more water and increased the intensity in my workouts!

    It's weigh-in today for me......249.1. :happy: I am so happy I reached 2 major goals :bigsmile: one is the 30 pound mark lost since the beginning of my weight loss journey and:bigsmile: the second is I am saying goodbye to the 250's forever! Hello 240's. This week was a bit hard for me, cause I got the beginning of a pneumonia, I am on antibiotics, codeine syrup and a pump. Just going up the stairs and I can't breathe, hopefully I get better. :sick: The good thing is I am still losing weight. Good luck everybody, we are already mid- March, hang in there and remember, we can't change our past but we can change our future! Good luck!:smile:

    Weighing at 142.8 as of this morning! Woohoo! Slowly going into the 130s...

    I need to change my goal...I don't think there's any way I can get to 130 by April 1st, can I change to 135?

    Friday's weight: 175.2 I don't remember if I posted it. I tried to go back and look for it, but didn't see it.
    I am happy that the scale is finally moving. I didn't have the best weekend, but it could have been worse. I tried to be mindful of everything I ate. I was snacking way too much on Saturday but tried to turn it around yesterday. And today will be an even better day than yesterday. I didn't slack on my workouts, so I'm proud of that.

    Looks like there is a little more than 2 weeks left in the challenge and I am 3 pounds away from meeting my April Fools goal. I am so excited considering the rollercoaster I was on for the past few weeks. Have everyone reviewed their goals? Do they still seem doable? Let's all just do our best to end the challenge on a high note!
