Thank you, thank you so much. It's just what I needed to hear. Two months in and I've been saying all day "I giveup"
I didn't get to be 100 pounds overweight in a matter of months, or years......
I will NEVER giveup!
virtual hugs to you.

(I forgot to add the quote thingy - still new to this!) I will make sure the friend I mentioned sees this. Thank you for offering to "friend" her! :happy:0

OP, good job, you have motivated a lot of people. You make some very good points.Too many view this whole "Journey" as somewhere to go, with a definite endpoint. It really isn't about the destination at all. Life is for living, The destination or end point is the grave. Personally, I would like to delay that for awhile longer. One has to make the determination to make it a good quality life. Starving oneself or using gimmicks to achieve a number on a scale is really not healthy. It has to be about living a healthy lifestyle. Eating right and exercising are a big part of that. There are stumbles and obstacles to overcome. There will always be a Superior Dairy S.O.S. waiting on the corner. You may occasionally have one. I will be jealous, but I will have a chocolate chip milkshake occasionally too. Life happens. The trick is to keep moving forward. Good luck to everyone here.
Sorry, I had to put Journey in quotes, I consider Journey to be a band that was big in the '80s, and not my favorite descriptor of my life.
Mmmmmmmmmm Superior. Drool.0 -
Thanks for this post! It's still blessing people and keeping us on track. I hope you do get your medical degree and become a doctor! I think you would have an amazing "bed side presence".
Thanks for the encouragement!

I feel at a dead end in all of this...since April 21 I have been working out HARD with only 10 lbs. lost as of today. I fluctuate between 10-15 lbs. and it's driving me nuts. Also, I have no inches lost and I can't figure what is going wrong. All I know is it's severely depressing to exercise 2.5 hours a day and barely see any results. I'm afraid something is wrong with my body/hormones. I eat clean and stay at about 1500-1800 calories a day, sometimes a little more, and sometimes a little less. I understand this takes awhile but there is something wrong. I've lost weight in the past and it has NEVER been like this for me. I could average 10 lbs. a month and this really blows.0

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling discouraged and frustratedThis sounds like something you should bring up to your doctor...may need to have your thyroid checked out. I hope you find a solution soon. Don't give up!
Also, many, many thanks to OP, I needed to read this post.0 -

Thanks for your advice! I am going to the doctor on Thursday. I was pregnant twice in the past two years gained all kinds of weight, just as I did with all my pregnancies. I never had a problem taking my weight off, as I said, I averaged about 10 lbs. a month. I never thought this could happen to me.0 -

You're welcome and I wish you luck! Hormones play a role in fat storage/metabolism and us women have a lot of them, LOL. I'm sure there is something that can be done if that is the case, however. I've known people with thyroid issues/PCOS/medication side effects who managed to break through. You can too!0
