    5/14 196.8 Still in a plateau. 1/2 marathon training in progress.
    5/21 198.2 Hey - wait... WRONG WAY!

    +1.4

    Still working out, watching cals, training for 1/2 marathon. Just need to stay focused and not let this discourage me.
    My NSV - finally got to ride a horse for the first time in many, MANY years after getting my weight under 200. In many places there are weight restrictions, more strict for women than men, on being able to rent a horse for a ride.

    Yay! I have hit my goal for this month! I am not going to change the goal for the month as I have decided to increase my calories to match my growing appetite :smile: so next week is going to be all about maintaining my loss so far this month and hopefully start losing again the following week.

    Well done to everyone on their loss so far & best of luck for the final week!

    1st May = 177.6
    5th May = 178.8 (+1.2)
    12th May = 177.6 (-1.2)
    24th May = 176.0 (-1.6)

    Happy that I've lost 2.8lbs since 5th May - but disappointed that monthly total lost so far is only 1.6.

    However, I am feeling much fitter and have a better body shape than I have had in a long time, I'm loving the exercise I do, I find it energises me and de-stresses me too, especially commuting on a bike as you can declutter your head on the journey home. Let's see if I can lose another 1.5 lbs this week to at least make 3lb lost in May!

    Yay! Well done Frannybobs! A loss is a loss no matter how 'big' or 'small'! I know you are not where you hoped you would be by now but you haven't given up and that is the main thing! Keep doing what you are doing ... you will get there :flowerforyou:

    Belle - congrats on reaching this month's goal!!

    Fran - you're headed in the right direction. I'm proud of you for not giving up!

    I am constantly struggling. I am tired this week :yawn: , and seem to eating non-stop. Some of it is healthy, some of it is definitely not. Anyone have any psychological tips for staying motivated? Nothing seems to be working for me lately to convince myself to not eat the unhealthy stuff and to get out and exercise more. Pretty simple, but sooo hard to do.
