That's so awesome. Congratulations! Your story is more inspiring than you know! I keep waiting for 'that' day to come for me. There have been many times I re-started eating healthy - this time for life! - only to end up back where I was. Thanks!

I love my Fitbit! Please feel free to add me!

Hi, fee free to add me. I'm on everyday several times a day. I've made some cool friends here just by supporting one another. Take care!

Hi and welcome! League City here!

I'm in the same boat. I am eating more than 1200 now but losing only ounces if anything each week. But, when I was eating 1200, I pretty much didn't lose anything. I started this journey in January, and have just now lost only 10 lbs. I'm so afraid this won't work for me, but I'm at my wits end. I have lost a few inches,…

I've been dieting since January and have only lost 10 lbs. I've gotten over the disappointment of the scale not moving and realize that the muscle I'm building weighs more than fat. It is coming off soooooo sssslllllloooooooooowwwwwwlllllllyyyyy but I guess that's better than it not coming off at all. So, with that…

You're doing great! I've been stuck at a plateau almost since I started, but I, like you, refuse to quit. Good luck to you!

Wow! Thanks for the inspiration!

LMAO

Hi Betsy and welcome! Congrats on your success with WW! I've never had any luck with that program and I've tried it several different times. I'm currently at a plateau already and have only lost 7 lbs after 50 days. I'm cutting back my calories this week and bumping up the exercise. I'm 51 and there's a group on here for…

Hello all! Feel free to add me too. We all need encouragement and support! I'm on here every day. Peace...

Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing your story with us! I'm going through plateaus right now, so it was good to read how you handled it. Congratulations to you!

That's great! Congrats and yes we care!:bigsmile:

and yes....I'm having the same problem.

I know it's depressing. I have found that this is a very common problem for us ladies in our 40's on up just by reading the blogs and message boards. As long as your clothes are fitting better and your measurements are going down, stay off that scale! It's really not a good tool for weight loss because it discourages so…

I was on 1200 but I stopped losing weight. I went to www.freedieting.com and used their calculators to re-calculate my daily calories, etc. This put me at 1625, so that's what I'm striving for now, although I had gotten used to 1200 plus eating back whatever I had burned. Now, I find it hard to eat all my calories. I've…

Oh, I'm 51 and have had weight probs all my life. Funny, we all have the same story! At least we know we're not crazy! Good luck everyone!:drinker:

lol!

Hell yes! I'm working out like crazy and finally, after 6 months of working out seriously and a little over a month of eating healthy and counting calories, etc., I'm starting to see a teeny difference in my body. I have not lost but 5 lbs but I have decided to stay off the scale except for maybe every 2 weeks, or once a…

I'm at 170 trying to get to 130. Been stuck between 170 and 172.8 for a few weeks.... :(

YUM!

You rock! Congrats!

yep. I'm very frustrated. but I've learned the hard way, to not weigh myself. In fact, I'm only going to do it once a month. It is the biggest culprit in me failing every single time.

I am also addicted to sugar. Over the last few years though, I have worked really hard at staying away from anything with processed sugar and I find that after 3 or 4 days of no sugar at all, I don't even crave it anymore. I still had to worry if it was the holidays or something and there were all sorts of sweets around…

or try grapes!

I once bought some blueberry syrup...same deal...no calories, no fat, no nuthin. It also tasted HORRIBLE! How could something with no nutrients taste so bad???? Idk, but it sure did! lol :sick:

I'm having the same problem! I've only lost 7 lbs and upon my weigh in which should have been yesterday, I had gained 3+ lbs. I haven't really gone over my calories, but did drink over the weekend a bit...but was still within my calories. I'm working out 4-5 days a week and already stuck at a plateau! I was sooo stoked and…

Meg, I've had the exact same problem! The problem is that I've had that problem every single time I've gotten really serious and worked hard at this weight loss. I've only lost 7 lbs and upon my weigh in which should have been yesterday, I had gained 3+ lbs. I haven't really gone over my calories, but did drink over the…

Congratulations! You look fantastic! I've only lost 7 and am already hitting a plateau and fluctuating. :frown:
