I thought this way when I hit 25, but then I realized it was ME and my lack of tracking, and not my age.

Lol!!!! I have been on diets like that before hahaha.

Yep, this is my mindset as well!!!!

I was in a secure relationship and DBF loved me even when I was obese. Why lose weight if he still loved me and found me attractive (even though I didn't).

I am going through the same thing. Down over 76lbs but I don't see it. I might take some pictures to compare and see if that helps.

Holy smokes!!!! WTG!

5'10 SW 234.2 CW 157.8 I have my goal set at 150 but I'll see what happens when I get there. I already get comments that I'm too thin but I definitely don't think I am. I'm mid range BMI.

I do this too!!! Lol

Hmm..maybe she is 75lbs overweight?

This is 100%. Also, when you go to grab something to eat, sit down and drink a full glass of water. Ask yourself why you want to eat and try to work things through mentally before turning to food. The water may help to make you feel physically full, which is the sensation you are seeking during times of stress.

Oh! And wearing jeans! I used to HATE jeans before! Now it's skinny jeans allllll the time.

Lol love this. Have to admit I've noticed this too, only with guys since I'm a girl :p. and I think my boyfriend has noticed as well haha!!

Wow!!! Amazing work everyone!!!!!! :)

Anyone can add me :) I'm 26. 5'10. Started at 234.2 now 157.8. Only 7.8 to go til ultimate goal weight :) You can all do it!!! You got this!

Lol wow just noticed the exact same thread below haha. Oops!!!

Please don't feel bad. Weight loss is a long, tough journey that lasts a lifetime (for some of us). I started worrying about my weight when I was about 11, which is very sad. It is something I have struggled with up and down for a long, long time. Before you lose weight, you need to love yourself at the weight you're at…

That's scary! Glad you're ok. Maybe make a tea or coffee and just relax for a bit?

You got this!!!! :)

I am starting to feel more comfortable in my own skin :). Slowly but surely!

Lol yep. And $200 later....

@tomatoey awesome link :) very interesting read!

All very valid points :) thanks for posting! Going to check out that link now :)

Thank you! :) I would like to get down to 150 and then really focus on toning up. I'm thinking about setting some more fitness related goals so I'm not solely focused on the scale :)

Thanks everyone again for the responses! I do definitely agree that once you are a healthy weight it is a lot harder to lose. I was actually pretty surprised when I weighed myself this morning and saw a 1.4lbs loss. I have been staying the same or only losing very minimally for weeks now so I was very surprised. I think…

I agree. For a man that seems extremely low. And 800 calories a day can't sustain you forever, especially while you are so active.

Physical activity, lots of water, leafy greens

Amazing progress and awesome attitude!!!

Thanks for the responses everyone! I do definitely agree that it most likely comes down to being a bit lax with CICO. I think I will be trying to switch things up over the next few weeks and get back into tracking CICO very diligently.

@barbecuesauce thank you!!!! :) I think you're right also, maybe mixing up things at the gym and focusing on firming up rather than pounds might help :) @TiffanyR71 yes I am almost midway within a healthy BMI. I think the last 9lbs are more for vanity and also some wiggle room during maintenance.

@neanderthin thanks for the response :). You have given me hope that I can get these last 9lbs off! I think you're right. I need to take a bit of a break and focus more on accuracy when I get back to it.
