I think for me it was 20-25 lbs.

Can you go for a walk?

And good luck with your surgery!

I feel for you. I just had surgery on my leg Wednesday and it's killing me to sit around. I am trying to look at this as a blessing in disguise. I was so motivated when I first started to see the results of my hard work, but have found that lately I have been losing motivation (even though I am getting so close to my…

You should be eating the calories you burn also. Example: given 1200 calories a day+ burn 500 calories=1700 calories to comsume that day.

You look amazing! Congratulations on your accomplishment!

Do you go to the gym or work out at home? The reason I ask is because you can always bring your books to study at the gym when you're on the treadmill or bike.Can you record your lectures? If so, you can listen to those too instead of listening to music.

As of right now, I am limited to my chair and bed :( I have to keep my leg propped up. It sucks becasue I feel like I can't do anything. By the end of this coming week, I will be able to talk short walks.

Feel free to add me. I fully believe that the more positive support you have, the more successful you will be.:smile:

I am willing to take any help offered. I feel a little stuck right now. I am close to my goal and have just stalled. It's 100% my fault as I have just let things get in the way. I need to get back on track.

You need to go in and manually readjust your goals.

Thank you for this! We were just discussing this exact thing this morning in my weight loss group. I am going to share this post if you don't mind.

Congratulations! That's awesome!

I got 5lb weights at Ross. They were 6.99 each.

Do you think it could be that your body is just use to what you're doing? Maybe take a week off from exercising then start back up again. The alcohol could definitely be a huge factor too. Those calories add up real fast. Cut out the alcohol for a few weeks and that will probably help too.

I am from Girard, but now live in NC (at least for the next 4 months).

Depends on how much I work out. I find that if I burn more than 700 calories during a workout, I have a harder time eating that much extra during the day. If I only burn 200-300, I eat the extra.

My goal is 135 (with a stretch goal of 130). I am surrently at 148.

I was on Lexapro also. It made me feel great, but I gained 15 lbs in the 3 months I was on it.

Try doing a combination of things. Pick 4-5 different things and do each of them for about 10 minutes. Maybe you're just getting bored doing one thing.

You're right, it is a new day. We all have those slip ups now and again, so don't worry about it. Start over :) Congrats on losing the 50 lbs!

I'm 5'6' and my target weight is 135.

22??? I am so bad at guessing ages. That was for Gyoza.

I have lost over 50 lbs and have excess skin in my stomach. But I have also had 4 kids. I have been told losing the weight slowly will help with not having so much excess.

I think I am actually addicted to weighing myself. I do it multiple times a day. But I like to see what foods affect me. I only record my weigh ins once a week though.

I did not meet my weight loss goal this year. I was lazy up until about mid May when I found a great support group, and since then I have been doing well. I have lost 56lbs and I am only 17lbs away from my goal. My resolution for this coming year is to lose the last 17 and continue working out and eating right.

I feel super awkward doing it. And I felt like I should have been swinging from a pole, lol! However, I thought it was kind of fun and although I don't follow the program, I do the workouts on occasion just to do something a little different. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

Lots of cardio too. I have had 4 kids and have always had that flap of fat. I still need to get rid of that "baby pooch," but I no longer have a flap of fat. I will have to start doing planks like the others have suggested too. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods
