in Motivation and Support
So far I've been doing this journey on my own, 86 days and counting. I've had great success so far losing 43 pounds. But as of late I've been slacking on my logging, (had my sisters wedding this past weekend) and I have had little motivation lately. I think having friends on MFP would be more encouraging. If you'd like to send me a friend request I will gladly accept! Always looking for tips, and new ideas to have better and healthier results!
Been at a plateau these last few weeks, gonna try my best to power through it!

Thanks!

    Thanks, I didn't really think of it that way..
    But since you put the numbers in my head again that was roughly a pound every 2 days, although I've been at a standstill for nearly 3 weeks now. It's getting a little discouraging, but I'm gonna keep going! I wanna hit my goal!! I've spent a good chunk of my life heavy, and I'm ready to be happy and healthy!

    Good luck to you on your journey!
    I sent a request!

    43 pounds in 86 days is amazing. You will have stalls and after a loss like that your body is just catching up. Hang in there and keep it up. Let me know if I can be of help man.

    Thank you, I had a feeling it was just my body slowly adjusting to the changes.

    Incredible weight loss story there! Good for you!! Like everyone else is pointing out, it's probably your body just catching up. Are you also exercising? Always open to new friends. Helps to keep us accountable! :D

    Thanks, I didn't really think of it that way..

    But you should, especially as the standard loss is 1-2lbs a week. You should consider doing some resistance training to help protect the rate of musccle loss as thats much harder to regain.

    I've been doing a lot of strength training to help maintain whatever muscle I do have.
    Not really trying to bulk up or anything at the moment, looking to get to a comfortable weight before I start eating to build muscle.


    Also, a big thank you to everyone who has sent me a friend request, and accepted my requests. I've felt so motivated from your words on encouragement on my status posts and weigh ins. It's really making a world of difference, and it's a great confidence boost! Down 3.8 from last week!

    I also want to thank all my new friends for the birthday messages today.
    Means a lot to me :)
