  • I'm in about the same place. I lost 90 lbs 3 years ago. Then regained 45lbs. I've stayed there for the last 18 months but haven't had any motivation to get back on track until recently. My highest weight back 3 years ago was 273. I'm starting this time at 224.

  • Thank you so much for the info. This far I haven't been "religious" in measuring/weighing my food. Good possibly I have been under estimating calories and it has now caught up with me. I also haven't upped my exercise (amount or intensity). I guess this should have been pretty basic but I'm learning. :) Thanks again!

  • I am in a similar 3 week "stall" (I didn't know a plateau was 6+ weeks). I haven't lost as much as you but about 52 lbs in 6 months with 30lbs to go. This is my first time on the community area. I have been doing this on my own but if you are interested in helping each other stay motivated please feel free to add me as a…
