So, I'm still plugging away, but don't seem to be getting anywhere these days... kinda disheartening, but I'm still at it. It seems like unless I'm logging like 1000 calorie deficits a day, I don't lose. Like, you'd think that 600 calorie deficits would add up over time, but the weight just isn't coming off. I've been stuck at the same weight for a month. Anyway, I just hate how it makes me feel like I'm not accomplishing anything, even when I think I'm doing all the right things. But to those of you who are on the roll, keep up the good work! Hopefully things will get moving with me soon, too!

Try exercising in different ways and at different times. Try to load a day each week with protein and minimal or no carbs. Works a treat for me when I seem to plateau

What a crazy ride--193.5 last week, then a "bounce" up to 197, now a week later down to 190 even. That's the way I seem to lose these days, sure do miss the days of fairly consistent big drops!
But, that's to be expected, I guess. Did pretty well this week, no beer and only one day significantly over my 1500-1600 (around 2K).
I have gotten pretty heavy into Green Tea, perhaps that's helping? Anyweigh, I'm feeling pretty confident that I'll be into the 170's by New Years.
How's everyone else doing?
Regards,
Michael

I have no end of excuses, but it all comes down to priorities, I guess (and perhaps a dose of laziness). I KNOW I've gotta do it.

30 Days In!
We're slightly over a third of the way into the Challenge--the first 30 days have gone pretty well for me, how 'bout everyone else?
Collectively, we've lost 77 pounds in a month!
Come on and let's kick this into gear--2012 will be here before we know it!

i'm about 1/3 down for my goal!
i think my body is gettting used to healthier eatting, but it just means i need to kick up the work outs (current doing pretty much nothing the pass 2 weeks almost)
just hard when my film project is starting to get heavy on my shoulders.
come april (when i'm done school) i'm gonna start making a full workout routine and maybe sign up for the gym if i can afford it

My Husband Lost 10% doing a 24 Day Challenge
Hey everyone! My husband and I started using supplements from a company called Advocare. They have the most amazing products, and I've never felt better. He used their 24 day challenge and lost 17 pounds while on it. He still wants to loose more but it was a great kick start without having to do any crazy dieting. Of course you still have to watch what you eat put it did give you some structure and also gave you energy while you got through it. If anyone is interested please let me know, the stuff is awesome!!!
