Weight doesn't want to budge, need new goals - join me?

Great start!

what will help more is to cut back on sugar, ESPECIALLY refined sugar. I tried to see your diary but it is not open, so I cant help you more with suggestions on what you can do better.

If you focus on your FITNESS rather than your weight loss you will automatically become fitter, more toned, and lose weight as an extra bonus. I dont bother trying to lose weight anymore just worry about how fit I am.

I have done that with the last 5kg that I have lost (I'm in sydney so i'm kilos over here as you know!) and its just fallen off, but the greater win is how fit I am, and the fact that I am 36 but my bio age is 25.

i am also stuck on 136 scales not moving:(

your diary was always closed so i never commented. omgsh your fat is way under try incorporating healthy fats into your diet. you can search up "risks of a low fat diet" and it'll show you why you need fat. i see you're eating around 10-20g fat and you should be striving to aim for what MFP sets or 20-30% of your daily intake. you're not netting much also so maybe that's why your weight won't budge.

this is a great post:

I have had a look at your diary and I think you need some different goals to the ones you are setting.

I am exactly the same height (5'10") and am currently healthy, fit and a good weight of 71kg (156.2 pounds)

I am allowing myself to drop to 68kg (149.6 pounds) due to the fact that it is still safely bmi for me, plus it will help me run faster in my half marathon coming up.

Anything lower than that, in my opinion, is too low.

I think your new goals should include:
- improving your breakfast - you are not eating enough (less than 200 calories most days) plus limited protein. You need to fuel your body better at the start which will in turn give you more energy and make you feel better about yourself.
- increase your food intake to fuel your body. I personally know that I feel atrocious when I havent eaten enough and I am disappointed in myself. With the training I do I regularly eat 2000 calories a day - I find that I maintain well on that and with the right kind of calories and right amount of training I lose weight at a steady and healthy pace.
- i actually think that you would be better off with another goal - you are exercising regularly, not heavily but regularly, and you say you are fairly fit. Why not train for a 10km or something like that (and obviously eat to fuel your body. Your body is a MACHINE and there is no point filling your car with water now is there?)
- learn to love life more. I am not sure why you are disappointed in yourself, you seem to have a wonderful life with a happy, healthy family based on your photo. Perhaps you need to look at WHAT is causing the issues with yourself, as they are certainly not caused by eating badly, with the exception of perhaps not eating enough.

Im not the kind of person to say "hey your too thin - put on weight" but im also not the kind of person who will unrealistically support somebody who appears to have issues that are based in your mind. I will never say "way to go" on a diary that is too little or full of crap food like many here.

You need to decide what you want to do. If you keep dropping weight you will function poorly, you will not train very well, and you potentially can become what is known as a "skinny fat person". Try getting some muscle on, getting fitter and you will feel amazing. Trust me, Im testament to it.
