Can't budge past a certain weight

I know how you feel i'm 5'2 and can't seem to get out of the 160's. I get down and get so excited then I go up just to go back. I wish I had tips for you. I know some people say to switch up what you are doing but seeing as you are still losing I dont know.

If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like you've had this problem in the past, but this time around you're just getting to the point where it would have been a problem before. Like you've had difficulty getting below 140 before, but now you're just about at that point where the difficulty would set in. In that case, all I can offer is that what happens now is not defined by what happened before.

I actually had the same fear. I started at 202 (highest ever) and every attempt before, I've stopped right at 174-5 until I gave up. This time, I was really nervous when I got to that point, even gave up a bit prematurely and gained back a few pounds. But I shook it off and told myself that there was no reason I couldn't pass that point, though it might be more difficult. And guess what? That was right! I did notice that my weight loss was slower in that 170-175 range than it had been dropping down from 202, but last week I hit 170 and this week I'm going to be in the 160s for the first time in YEARS.

Sometimes the walls we hit are only of our own imagining. It may be true that you hit a blockade there in the past, but it might not be true that it was the result of your body stopping you. You might have something going on mentally that you're not even aware of. The bad news is it's hard to pin down, but the good news is that you can push your way through it just by keeping focus and staying determined.
