hey gang,
I need some help I have really been strugleing the last 2 weeks . I am stuck on losing 59# I thought I would hit the 60# mark last week but I didn;t .so I started walking the tract I walkek every day last week and this week also 2-3 miles each time and If i don.t see a weight drop this week I think I am going to jump up and down and scream . I will be happy with any wt, loss right now .I am drinking my shakes and my water .It just seems like my body is holdding on and won;t let go .but the inches are coming off .I was wearing size20and 22 and now I am wearing size14 in jeans and med. in my tops .every one says I look great but I want to get to my goal . I will not give up but I am really getting mad at myself .I haven;t posted for awhile I have been so at myself and didn;t want to whine but I need some help from all of you and so here I am .I can not believe that I am having such a hard time of it I will soon be on medifast 7 months the last day of april and have lost 59# but at this stand still now I have got to hit 60# at least by this sun. weigh in this stuff cost to much to not keep losing .I am thankfull for what I have lost but still have at least 40 pounds to go which will put me at 132# but 40 # seems a long way to go when I am standing still I know I have hit a plato but shouldn;t I start droping again with the exersize and all. well thanks for listening to me gripe .

Hi, Susan. Wow, it has really been a week for people to let their hair down and express the various frustrations that they are feeling. Welcome to the club! However, be sure and notice that NONE of us has quit. Not one! That's because we know that if we just hold on, we are going to ALL hit our goals. YOU are going to hit that marvelous 60 lb marker within days now. What a bunch of us out here wouldn't give to be there with you!!! I'd KILL to wear size 14 jeans!!!!!! Our time is coming, though.

I encourage you, Susan, to take it one shake at a time. Just make it to the next shake, that's all you have to do. Then do it again. And then again. And again. The weight WILL come off.

But you know that.

Not that I have to remind you, but be sure and let us all know when that 60 lb marker has been left behind you in the dust.

We're all rooting for you, Susan! You go, girl!!!

Hey Susan,

Just a quick thought.....because I'm a scale watcher too, and I'm OBSESSIVE about it..............

What if you made the weight loss goal of 60 pounds right now OR........
You could choose to shape and sculpt and trim a little off the edges every day and you can feel the difference and see the difference in your clothes (which you are doing right now!)......

Either way girlfriend, your body is changing. It's so important to see something on that scale sometimes. BUT, you are building muscles in your body, and muscle weighs more. (and looks SEXY!) When your body does let go and you make it to 60 pounds, which you WILL, you're going to look that much more awesome with the exercise and toning you're giving your body.

Hang in there.....you'll kick that one pound any second now.....and then it will be gone Forever!

Awww, Little Darlin' ~

Don't be at yourself. Your bod is just taking a rest before it dumps a load more.

We all have times when things go slower...'ceptin' maybe Mikey!

You are getting closer to thindom. You ARE already THINNER!

Keep at it, it WILL come off.

That weight has been with you for a while and it likes you! It doesn't wanna go away from you. Yet. It hasn't realized that the Medifast Man is gonna chase it a-weigh!

xxxooo

Hey Susan............Just want to say I'm here for you, just like you have been for me so many times. Email me anytime. A weaker person would have given up by now. You inspire me. I am weak. I've never had a lot of willpower but somehow I have managed to stay with Medifast willpower or not. Like you I'll be here for as long as it takes. Thanks for being the example that you are. Maggie

Hi Susan,
You're an example to everyone how to stick with things no matter how stubborn the pounds are. They just seem to want to stick with you for some reason. I hope everyone realizes how dedicated you are, and how you set your sites on your goal and wont be denied.

You're truly an inspiration to me in everything I do. You prove to me when you set your sites on a goal, it's truly achievable when you follow through even if it gets a little tough.

I'm just wondering if there's anything that might be holding you back. If you don't mind posting one of your typical days, maybe we can see something that may be slowing your weight loss down. Let us know of any medications, stress, your water intake, and anything else you think may be important.

Once again, you're an inspiration and example to all of us what determination can do.

All the best,
Unca
