Hi!
I've been using MFP for about a year, but just "joined" the community aspect of it today. I am looking to lose the last few pounds after a long journey (86 lbs. lost), but my weight seems to be at a stand-still. I haven't lost weight in about three weeks.
Sex: Female
Age: 29 years
Height: 5'2"
Starting weight (March 2020): 225 lbs. (BMI 41.1)
Current weight (as of May 10, 2021): 139.4 lbs. (BMI 25.5)
Goal weight: 135.0 lbs. (BMI 24.7)
I am in recovery from binge eating disorder, which cycles with anorexia. I don't want to slip back into old habits (i.e., starvation, or binge eating), so my goal weight is higher than most others on here. Makes me feel a bit self-conscious, but oh well. I just want to be in a healthy BMI and feel good in my body.

My weight stayed the same but I did start my cycle yesterday, so I am surprised it didn't register higher. This week was Teacher Appreciation week and we got free donuts, cookies, and potato chips. I enjoyed in moderation.
How tall are you Gazelle? (If you don't want to share that's fine too) I asked because we share very similar stats and I would love to buddy up with you and keep each other accounted if you would like (I'm also 23F, CW is about 127.6 lbs, my goal weight is 110 lbs, and I'm 5'3).2 -
113.0. So looks like after two weeks of comparative gluttony - the damage may just be a half a pound! Was 112.4 before I left parents home two weeks ago and reunited with hubby and indulged in all sorts of food! I’m more than ok with that!3

My BMI is currently 25.1, we're not that far apart. We also don't have to compare anyway, just pick a goal weight you feel good about. Some months ago, I've decided that my goal weight should be 71 instead of 69, as I felt I always started gaining again hitting that weight, I was just never able to keep it. Instead of doing the yoyo thing over and over again, I'll be happy to stay stable at a little higher maintenance weight.
You do you and be happy You've got this !

I’m actually losing weight now!! Can’t believe it! This hormone roller coaster 🎢 is insane...
But more than anything, I’m glad to be feeling better and strong again.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
I have been feeling a bit "down" about my body image lately. I've been stuck at 139 lbs. for the past three weeks. I don't know how to kickstart my weight loss again. Maybe this is my body's way of saying it's time to maintain? I don't know.
If anyone has any tips for losing the last few stubborn lbs., please let me know!2 -

I've been doing pretty well keeping my weight trending down. I started getting serious about running again which is definitely helping. I'm dreading the cicadas coming and forcing me to run inside though

@Eridove Congrats for getting to the last stubborn pounds! Getting rid of my last few pounds coincided with Lent and a step challenge from a MFP pal. I gave up snacks - even though my calories were the same - and the step challenge was 10,000 steps a day - more than double my usual. So I increased my NEAT, danced a lil more, walked a lil more and I reached a point where I don’t want to lose any more - something I thought I’d never think!3

Thank you for the advice, and congratulations on your success! I definitely am trying to give up the unhealthy snacks and switch them out for healthier options (e.g., fruits and vegetables). Maybe I could amp up my workouts a bit. 2 -
ME:
31y * 5'9" * BMI:22 * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)
Jan loss:- 2,3kg~70,4
Feb loss:-1.4kg~69
March loss: -0.1kg~68.9kg
April loss: ???
GOALS:- Low intake of sugar (<50grams/day)
- Keep up 16h fasting
- 5/2 fasting pattern
- Alcohol max 4x/week
Since I don't have access to a scale (while travelling), I can only use my measurements as a point of reference.
Chest: 95cm
Stomach: 83cm
Waist: 75cm
Belly: 90cm
Hips: 102cm
Thigh: 60cm
Goals are similar to the usual, but less strict.
16 May: 69.2kg - I got a mini travel scale! No idea how accurate the thing is but better than nothing. I gained a bit, bu no more than a kg more or less. So all in all satisfied with that. The goals are out the window tho: almost every day alcohol and sugar! So difficult to stay on track when you're off your routine. Same for the workouts... need to pick them back up asap.
But I'm honestly not as vexed as usual: I'm having the time of my life and never been happier!

New here to MFP community in general, but I need accountability!
Me: 39, 5’7”
CW: 139.8 lb
May BMI: 22
Estimated body fat%: 24
June 1st GW: 136, 23% BF
TARGET DATE: 6/5/21
Ultimate GW: 125-130, 19-20% BF
1. Continue 14-16 hr fasting
2. 350 calorie deficit daily
3. 350 calorie burn daily between cardio & strength
4. 50-60% fat, 30% protein, 10-20% carb
Maintaining diet and exercise routine is what I struggle with the most. When I do it, I feel great, but my longest streak of sticking with a routine is 5 weeks. I usually meet some goal, then derail. Maintaining a healthy diet and routine is important to me because I have a family history of unhealthy lifestyles. I see many of my family members struggling with health problems now in their late 40s through early 60s. I work hard, so I’m really wanting to live my best life outside of work and after my working years are over! I don’t want to deal with diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholics cirrhosis, and the various aches, pains & limitations that follow these diagnoses. So I need accountability to remind me that there is not an “end” once I reach my goal weight or shape. It’s ongoing & a lifestyle/ life change.6 -
