Busting the Plateau
 | It\’s interesting how really BTW, love to have company on the rest of the journey! |
| | It’s interesting how really tough this is–psychologically–and how tough it isn’t–physically. It’s really been a great experience that I’ve found incredibly helpful and plan to keep on. Also, if you’re lifting, you probably are putting on muscle–isn’t lifting heavy objects just the best? Please, take it easy on yourself: keep on lifting and eating good stuff and just in general being good to your body and it will shed the extra fat. (I am firmly convinced our bodies don’t like to be fat: it’s really hard for them.) |
 | hey Esolaro…sounds like you really had to push yourself through doing the weight loss twice..!…that would be tough for me. I just can from the gym where i love to lift weight, and i did a little extra…did 225 on the bench press today, and i am sure that is going to buiid up a little more muscle on me. i actually feel lighter and feel i look a little better even thought i have not lost no weight in the past 3 weeks. i feel i will adopt your simple slogan…”keep on keeping on…!…” |
| | Dawniedark, officially, the 60-Day Challenge is over. But I’m keepin’ on keepin’ on. Be happy to have you join me. |
 | Hi im trying to join the 60 day challenge-cant get there I get a message:cannot find page—help |
| | Michele12000 and Martinken: can’t wait to see pics and your writing about what you’ve done and how you feel about it. I’m really, really pleased for myself and I know I’m going to be thrilled for you!!!! |
| | Martianken, I’m down to 151.4 from 157.8. I actually did this twice because I got sick, ate like crap and rebounded in the middle. Now I know what I’m doing (I’ve just posted something here) I’ve got a target weight and a date. I could say, I’m disappointed that I haven’t lost more weight, although I’m intentionally trying to build muscle (and probably have). But in fact, I’m very pleased because this has helped me get a real grip on my own eating behaviors, which is the real issue for many of us. So I plan to keep on keeping on. |
 | Thanks to everyone for sharing on this topic. Next Thursday, July 3rd will be the end to my 60 day challenge. I am so excited because today I weigh 241 pounds. That is 20 pound weight loss from this challenge and 22 pounds off from my highest weight of 263. The great thing is that I can just keep on going with the new lifestyle I have adopted. Eating healthy, exercise, weekly weight check. I hope we can continue supporting each other in the future. |

| | Wow, Leej725! I’m sorry your family gave you such a hard time (I know about this) and I’m really glad you’ve showed them! |
 | Hi Michele, |
| | no treats till after 8 weeks… |
| | Goal weight / date dependent primarily on muscle development. |
| | Yes, very much. I know that when I eat this way, I drop a half-pound or so every few days. When I stop and go back to my bad habits (usually on weekends), I plateau or regain. (This is all on me.) I am working dealing with my bad habits, and keep doing it: seeing the really steady improvement over the past 2 months has made me decide to keep on keeping on. I’m at 153 right now. I’d like to be down to about 130 by my birthday in mid-October. |
