Hi.  We were married a few months ago and had lots of people travel to our wedding so we bought everyone a silver luggage tag - they were a big hit. 

Enjoy your wedding, its the best day of you life

SW (end 2006): 181

SW (of this challenge): 136

GW: 126

29/12/08: 132 - on track, back to healthy eating and working out at the gym.

5/01/09: 134 - so dissappointed, its been a really bad week.  Today is a new start, going to plan all my meals for the week and get back on track.

12/01/09: 134 - exercising more, eating better but no change.  I was 132 during the week, so up and down - getting frustrated.  The last 10 pounds are so hard to lose.

19/01/09: 132 - finally back to 132, why is it so easy to put back on and so hard to lose?  Would love to be 130 next week!

26/01/09: 132.9 - hoping its just another plateau.  Im doing more weights, exercising more and eating better.  Maybe im not meant to go much lower?

2/2/09: 132.4 - I will take the .5 of a pound.  It is still a loss.  Been 40-45C all week, making exercise very hard. 

Good luck everyone and keep up the good work

Hi

Im would love to join too.  I was so close to my goal, but have had a shocking month and put pounds back on.  Getting married in 14 weeks, so BIG incentive now.  Weight at 14th August - 142 pounds.  GW in 5 weeks - 132, final GW - 129.  Good luck everyone

Hi yaypalmtrees

My fiance is often away for extended periods of time with work.  2 years ago he was away for nearly a year, only coming home for a few weekends.  I piled on the weight and reached 180 pounds.  It was purely comfort and emotional eating.  However, over the last 15 months I have now got to my goal weight of 132 pounds.  My fiance was only away for a few months this time but her certainly noticed the last 10 pounds that I had lost and trust me, the look on his face made it all worth while.  I have found that the best way to cope is to make sure you have something special to look forward to each week and focus on that, not how many more months it is, e.g. a massage, a manicure, a walk with friends, family visit etc.  These special events and treats for yourself will keep you more positive and each time I feel like eating junk, I go for a walk even its just around the block.

Hope this helps

Hi. I started at 174 pounds and im now 141 pounds, my goal is 130.  So glad to hear other people are in the same position as me.  I seem stuck in the 140s and cant wait to break through to the 130s

Hi, I have heard a lot about Kale recently and its health benefits.  Do you have any recipes that you use with Kale in it?  Havent cooked with it before.

Thanks

I have the same problem. I have now lost 17.5 kg (approx 38 pounds) and have dropped from a UK 16 to a UK 10.  I can see the difference in photos but when I look in the mirror all I can see is the 'fat me' still.  Im worried that I will never see my body for how it is and will want to keep losing weight, even though I only 5 pounds off my goal weight.  Can anyone else relate to this?

hi.  What a great forum.  I was 175 pounds and now I am down to 136. I am 5' 8".  My long term goal is 132 pounds, but the last 4 pounds are proving the hardest to lose!  I have really reached a plateau.  I lost 1 pound last week but that was the first time in 3 weeks.  I have saved up and am starting with a personal trainer on Monday - once every 2 weeks for the next 2 months.  Fingers crossed he can help me get the last few pounds off and tone up.  My goal is to reach a US size 6! 

Thanks for  this forum, nice to know there are others out there with same struggle.  Everyone keeps saying you are thin, why did you need to lose more?  But I still have the extra belly flab that has to go and I want to be confident and comfortable in a size 6.
