Iโve been at a plateau for 4 weeks. I thought it would improve as my gout flare resolved, but Iโm still in a holding pattern. Not sure if I should change my exercise plan. I was just walking, but Iโve been doing 20 minutes on the treadmill and 15 on the elliptical, cool down is an easy stationary bike for 5-10 minutes.
Do I change calories, change exercise, or wait it out a bit more??

@cmsavells
Connie, I have gout, too, though rarely get flare ups anymore. I know there's inflammation involved. At least, there is for me. I would wait it out.
That said, if you've lost a bit of weight and not readjusted your calories for your new weight, you might want to.0 -

Are you eating back exercise calories? Maybe eat back less of them or not at all?1 -
I'm trying to get back on track after an up and down start to August. These were my stats at the beginning of August
SW: 279 lbs
CW: 266lbs
(long term) GW: 170lbs
My CW is now 267 lbs but I know what worked and where I went off course. Unlike the other times I have restarted, I feel like I am in a better place mentally and am not going to beat myself about the gain.
I'm back to work tomorrow and the kids are back to school Wednesday so my goals for the rest of August are going to be:
- to meal plan and log the night before.
- to track everyday
- get out of the 260's

Thanks for reading!

I've not been posting here, as I've been struggling staying on track lately.
SW: 281.2
CW: 203.8
GW: 175-180?
I'm SO FRIGGEN CLOSE to ONEderland. Why am I sabotaging myself!? I haven't been in the ONEs in ANY time that I can remember in my adult life (I'm 38). I've been continuing to exercise, but have to get my food back on track more consistently. I've been having more "cheat days" lately than I should.
I hit ONEderland!

GW-175-180?
I'm pretty certain that it won't hold. I've had a cold and as such NOTHING tastes good and I'm having trouble coordinating eating and breathing. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts and NOT let it ruin my day/week if it doesn't last.8 -
Hi Iโm a total newbie!

Iโve needed an assist to really motivate myself and honestly feel inspired.
I recently had that luck of just that.
Some great advice to apply that has been a road to success for others and also just not feeling overwhelmed and alone.
Itโs amazing how simple but significant the consult was.
Iโm totally stoked to do this!
Thank you all for being out there and fighting for it!7 -

Welcome! I started at almost the same weight as you! We can do this!1 -
Down to 214 somehow magically! I think it's due to the personal training I started. Started the month at 218. I'm hoping to get under 210 this month! I'm trying to keep logging everything, it's hardest on the weekends.
SW: 243
August SW: 218
CW: 214
August GW: 209
GW: 150ish
Last week goals:
1) Log everything! I tend to not log when I go off plan. I need to stop this (did better but still could use some work)
2) Exercise 6 days a week. Some days this will just be a walk, but every bit helps (I think I did it, I don't remember lol)
3) Quit soda. I want to be done with soda by the end of the month. Also increase water because of that (going well! down to one soda a day now).
This week I have the same goals but also adding in:
4) Stick to my calories during the weekend! Weekends tend to be the hardest for me, I tend to snack a lot more. I plan on sticking to it this upcoming weekend and start breaking that habit!2 -
@FadedNovelty Congrats your doing great. ๐0

So it was that TOM and I changed my goal to lose half a pound for that week because I was so hungry I was about to chew the walls. And I lost half of a pound. So predictable lol.
Back to trying to lose 1.5. Currently at 231 and just... longing to see a 2 in that tens spot.
I see my personal trainer tonight. And yesterday I went to the gym by myself, which was a pretty cool victory against anxiety. I seem to be a sweatier person than I used to though? My face was just a faucet pouring sweat, and I didn't feel like I was working that hard.2 -
Hi,
I've just started back with MFP after a long break away and putting on more weight than ever before.
SW: 121.7kg/268lb
CW: 119kg/262lb
GW: 65kg/143lb
Total Loss for August so far: 2.7kg/6lb
Goal for August: 116kg/255lb
Since I've only been back a couple of days I'm focusing on logging everything and staying within my higher calorie count that MFP recommends.
Also I'm looking for some supportive friends.4 -

@MySlimGoals sounds like you're going into this Headstrong. That is great to see. Just keep going on Counting those calories as they say to do and you'll see results in no time. We so look forward to hearing about your physical and emotional progress in the next week.๐๐

I have done it before and got so focused on how to cheat on my meals without really being too bad I have gained a lot of the weight I originally lost. back on the wagon for my health.4 -
After 4+ years of losing 100lbs and having crippling depression I am ready to get it off and be able to respect myself for getting myself properly.
Itโs been interesting reading post and seeing the journey of others.

Slow and steady wins the race. My mini goals are always the next 5 pounds, so I'll shoot for 190 by the end of August. ๐
This morning I weighed in at 188.7, which is exactly 0.1 pounds shy of hitting a 30 pound weight loss so far! Are scales allowed to tease us like that? Stupid scale. ๐
