    I keep telling myself that I have 8.5kg (roughly 19lbs) to go and I need to be strong and do not give up. I have been always struggling to loose weight ever since I gave birth to my #2. My #2 is already 10 and that means for 10 years, my weight has always been like a yo-yo. I know that whenever I reach this point, I tend to fall off the wagon and before I know it, I will be back up to 67kg which I DO NOT WANT! With school holidays now, my kids are constantly at each other and its only Day 1 today. :anguished: Really hope I don't get all depressed and start seeking food as my comfort :disappointed: Since July 2018, I loss 8.5kg (roughly 19lbs) and I am at the half mark. I know that I am REALLY SLOW like a turtle but at least I am loosing (that's what I tell myself..lol) Sure hope I can make it alive and still up on the wagon for this school holidays :weary:

    /HUGS You've recognized your pattern of self sabotage. You can stop it. If you need to do some 2mad days to get through the week, don't beat yourself up either. Stay strong!

    You've got this, Jade! It's good you don't want to go back up, trust me, you don't want to be there--because I didn't stay strong and instead of being in the "160" club (I couldn't help but notice the trend, everyone is kicking *kitten*!), I'm 54 pounds away from the 160's instead of 5 pounds away before I messed up, I was down to 174--I want to cry after writing that down. Stay strong, stay true to yourself!

    @LiLee2018 - Thank you <3 Yes, you are right. I know this is where I always falls off the wagon and before I know it, I hit my highest at 67kg :( I am trying my very best to stay on the wagon and hopefully, I succeed this time (fingers crossed)

    @volgirl1322 - Thank you <3 I will remind myself to be the turtle and hopefully this time around, I will see 50kg at the finish line :)

    @wsandy8512 - Thank you for visiting my humble thread <3 I hear you, girl! I have been doing this dance for a long long time and this time around, I hope I can get down to my GW of 50kg and maintain :)

    @mistymeadows2005 _ Thank you <3 I am trying my best not to fall off the wagon and get into that ice-cream truck. If I do, I will be hitting my HW of 67kg in no time.

    Good evening OMADers :)

    As you can see from my weight, I have gained a little. I guess I just have to keep at it till I can say my good-bye to Mr 59. Currently, I guess he ain't letting me go :( Thank you so much for all your encouragement and support! <3<3<3 Its always this period that I will fall off the wagon and get into the ice-cream truck and its highway to Mr 67. Been down this route so many times and I hope and pray this time around, I will hit the opposite route to Mr 50. Fingers crossed!!!!

    Realizing where you fall off is part of the struggle --you are super-determined not to let it happen, so just keep doing what you are doing and results will come. We are all here to cheer you on!!!! You got this..... <3

    I would say forget about the past slip ups and just keep your focus on your present goals and successes. You are headed in the right direction and you will NOT fall off the wagon.

    CW: Hide Mr Scale under the bed coz I do not want to get depressed.

    Good evening OMADers <3

    Thank you so much for your supports and encouragements <3<3<3 Didn't had a good morning as I was looking for some new jeans and 2 girls who are in their 20s were talking loudly about others and one of them said "that fat lady shouldn't be wearing slim jeans" and they laughed and laughed. It might not be me but I still feel the sting as there were quite a number of other women who were around me looking at the jeans too. I was a size 14 when I was at my highest weight and for quite a while I was wearing size 12. Currently, I am wearing size 10 and sometimes, I can fit into a size 8 if its the stretchable jeans. Seriously, young girls these days really love to put other women down :( From what I can see, one of them should be a size 8 and the other girl is around size 12.

    I am not sure about the sizes in US but I googled this chart and please tell me if its correct...thank you.

    Your current weight falls in the normal range, I highly doubt the girls were talking about you, but they're still wrong for talking the way the were about others. Women can be so judge-y. Grrrr

    It's really, really normal when you are the weight you are to stall out or slow down on your losses. Please, please try not to be so hard on yourself! Also, and I know this may sound scary, but I think you might overcome your plateau and lose the last few pounds you want by actually upping your caloric intake. You may find yourself pleasantly surprised.

    Even if you didn't exercise and just laid in bed all day, your BMR (I don't know your age so I tapped in 30), is 1249--which means that is what you'd burn by doing absolutely nothing, as well as the calories required to maintain your current weight. Assuming you are sedentary at the very least, your BMR is 1499, which means that's how many calories you could eat to maintain and how much you'd need to maintain your current weight. But, sweetie, going through just a few pages of your caloric intake--you are not even eating enough to make it through any given day, you are always in a deficit, but not the good kind! I've seen 1000 and 800 quite often. :-( Restricting calories too much completely messes up your metabolism, even when doing OMAD. You do not need to do a low cal diet to lose weight when you're fasting every day. If I were you, I'd purposely shoot for at least 1300 calories/daily to lose weight.

    Hugs sweet lady, and I really hope you're able to see yourself as the wonderful person you are, right now!

    I am so sorry for those mean girls that is just rude whether or not they were talking to you. But one, day, if they get married, have kids, they will be in the same boat, bc as a mom of two boys, my body has and never will be the same but I am not wanting it back to when I was 16 because my body is what carried two healthy babies :)….I say all that to say, we change over time, and as long as you are doing what makes you happy it is no one's business and they shouldn't talk like that about anyone....sorry that was a bit of a rant :)…..

    I agree with wasandy8512 it may be that you aren't eating enough right now maybe you should try upping those calories to see what happens....that very well may be the key :)…..Regardless we are here to support you through your journey! Keep up the good work ---you totally will get there <3 hugs <3

    UGH I can't stand people like that. Just remember that people who talk like that have pretty *kitten* lives and self esteem and have to bring others down to make themselves feel better. A-holes though.
    Don't let that kind of bitchy negativity get you down. You're still doing great!

    Yucky - I hate that kinda of negativity! Hopefully you shook it off and moved on.

    THANK YOU SANDY! Yes, dear - JP!!! What have I been telling you?!??!! You've gotta FEED YOUR BODY or it'll reject losing.
