    Once upon a time I quit too, and I kept quitting until I weighed 450 lbs. You have a little girl...if you aren't doing it for you, do it for her...she needs you in her life.

    Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.

    Take measurements!! A lot of time there's no scale change but you're dropping inches. Seriously, taking measurements is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

    I got my weight moving downj when I started doing Intermitent Fasting, just a day of 2 a week - the rest of the week I eat like I should, keep it all logged, etc....

    You might want to give it a try - lots of sites about it.

    5lbs...OUCH!
    Yes, perhaps it's time to try something different?
    Sometimes when we think we know it all, change that could help becomes inhibited by an unyielding attitude.

    And try not to be so down on yourself for your current failure.:drinker:
    You can buck up and make this happen - never give up!

    Been there done that. Don't give up! I don't know how much weight you need to lose, but it will happen. Give your body time to adjust. When I started this in January 2011 I had the same issue except I was in the gym 6-7 days a week and some times twice a day. I am now 43 pounds lighter, but the most important thing - I feel soooooo much better. You will get there too!!

    Hormonal contraception can slow or stop weight loss. I didn't lose any weight at all, despite eating 1200-1400 calories a day and training for a half marathon. Now I'm not on the pill / depo, I'm losing weight.

    You won't get much targeted advice until you make your diary available.

    You might not be eating the right stuff, or eating enough -- or doing the right workout. your body adjusts to things rather quickly - you have to keep it guessing!

    Have you had an indepth thyroid screening? Many women have underactive thyroids and can't lose weight because of it.

    Please make sure you are GETTING your calories (not way below each day) and eat back any calories you burn from exercise - your deficit could be so great that your body feels depraved/deprived of nutrients and holds onto everything

    'depraved' bwa haha ha (the thought of a body that feels 'depraved' for any reason is really appealing to my warped sense of humour so late on a Fri night) :laugh:

    Are you consuming at least 1200 calories? If not you should try and eat over 1200. Your body might be going into starvation mode. DON'T give up please!!!

    Please do the research. Starvation Mode is a myth.
