Eggs, mango, pistachio, cashew and crustaceans. A lot are recent, in the last four years or so. Eggs are definitely the most annoying, and cashew I encounter the most. Crustacean was the saddest, shrimp used to be my favorite. Eating out is sometimes a nightmare, but my friends have mostly gotten used to me asking over and…

You're right! So much of the success this year is just not stopping! So hard to keep track of those victories, too. Yes! Let's get it!

This group's been kind of quiet, but it's still the least-judgy place I know to whine a little bit. It's been a slow summer. I knew summer would slow things down because I tend to be more social, but, even so I allowed myself to get derailed. I haven't worked out in a while, I haven't tracked calories in a while, I haven't…

I don't have actual measurements from November, when the photo on the right was taken, but I think it was around 250 or so. The left photo (sorry they're backwards) is from today, at 214.

Is anyone else going through the mindf*ck of; Lose weight, clothes get too big, feel schlubby in baggy clothes, buy new clothes, clothes fit great, feel fat again? It's kind of amazing how my mind cannot fathom the smaller size and when the clothes are snug, I just feel so...bloated.

I finally whooshed to my second mini goal of 220!! After a weekend of hanging out on the river and not really policing myself but being the most conscious I've ever been about my activity level/food intake and I did it! Sometimes I really think a relaxing few days is the key to my whooshes.

Congrats @bmeadows380 !! I know how much of a relief it is to finally have the scale move! I saw your check-in post, too - I had to start running in the mornings for the exact same reason, it's too hot to walk during the day and I'm too tired at night. Maybe start small with that if you can? As for weight training, you can…

Starting to go crazy and this is the best place to rant - (this post is half rant, half self reassurances) I feel like the first 30lbs were a cakewalk, then it slowed waaaaay down. I've only lost 4-5lbs over the last two+ months. Now granted, last summer I put on 10+lbs in the same time frame, so in comparison, I'm doing…

I've tried to work my way through C25k (Couch to 5k) program several times over the last few years - but this is the first time I've ever made it to Week 4! It has a big uptick in running intervals - from two 3-min. intervals per run to two 3-min. and two 5-min. intervals. I was quaking in my sneakers. But I did it. I ran…

Plateaus are the worst! I lost my first 30lbs from January - April (260 to 230), dropped to 227 and then went up to 232, then I hung out at 230 for a MONTH. Thanks to Fitbit (assuming relative accuracy), I know that I wasn't eating above maintenance, my steps were on par to the previous months, and my calories burned was…

Hi there - I started at exactly 260 this January and I'm also 5'4"! I'm at 224lbs right now but it's been slowwwww going. Feel free to friend me or shoot me a message!

Even though I'm up a pound (holiday? water weight? salt? who knows?) today I saw one of our field service techs this morning at work and he said, "Man, everyone is losing weight!" He's one of the first people to notice, and it felt awesome!

When none of your bras fit AND when you measure and learn that you've lost a cup size but not a band size... :( #weightlossproblems

Already love this thread - I was trying to explain to my trainer why it was so scary to lose weight. I haven't been sub-200lbs in probably 10 years? There's so much...unknown. What will I even look like? Then the scarier issue - I could always say 'it's because I'm fat' as an excuse for things, whether it was dating, or…

@bmeadows380 I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by cholesterol! I hadn't been specifically working on it but even at 30lbs down my numbers fell and my doctor was soooooo pleased!

After one month of bouncing around 230 I finally whooshed to 226 this morning! I'm ecstatic!!

I think I finally pinpointed why this plateau is bothering me so much more than the last one. 230 is the weight I was through most of college, and it's my 'low' weight in grad school. The lowest weight I have tracked anywhere - and last year when I lost weight I got down to 236 and then started climbing back up. I've been…

Thanks!! Granted, I haven't worked out as hard as I normally do because of life stuff in May, so I'm hoping that redoubling on my exercise, adding more protein and hydrating/sleeping more, I can kick back into gear! It's good to hear other people dump that plateau, too. Seriously encouraging!

Ok new plan. Originally my goal was to lose in 20lb increments for rewards, but seeing as I've been the same weight since May 18th-ish, my new mini-goal is to break this damn plateau! I just want to scream. Then I can deal with the next 10lbs.

@thewindandthework We seem to be on the same track, hah. I'm also still struggling, and I did the same thing! I made my diary private last week. It seems to be helping, although the long weekend definitely did not. The desire to stress/control eat is horrifically strong and you're exactly right - I can't just pick up where…
