I decided to start doing weigh-ins. When I joined this list in january I mentioned my friend wanted to have a little competition. I reluctantly joined. There were only 3 of us in it. I joined a week late. I started at 304 lbs. Now I am down to 286.4. I still have a long way to go. My ideal is 165 but I'd settle for 190. I am 6'3". So thw competition is over. I won 3 weeks. Another friend won 3 also. Since that is over I hope to weigh in here.

Congrats on a fabulous weight loss! You are certainly well on your way! Do you feel as though it will be different to carry on with a competition to work with?

Thanks . Actually I do. In a way it is nice not have to worry about every bite. I can allow myself some special within limits, if something comes up. On the other hand knowing I had to weigh in every week forced me to continue on and not give up. That's why I am now planning to weigh in here on the list. I am continuing with the habits I started during the competition. Working out 5 days a week, portion control, etc. I am trying not to get 2nds. Some nights I'm better than others. I sometimes use a small plate (the same size my kids use), try to remember to eat slowly, nothing after dinner except water. I did drink some tea once though. I do feel that my weightloss has slowed a bit, but I will keep going. I know it's bound to slow down soon. Sometimes it feels like I have so far to go. How will I ever get there? It's much easier and more fun to stay this size. And it tastes better. Some days I have bad days but I keep going. One bad day doesn't mean I have to give up.

I agree Stacey, the long haul is an overwhelming task. I get caught up in the depressing amount of time it will take to get to goal. I even got really upset yesterday when I saw on Wikipedia the BMI basis of the terms, obese, morbid obese and super obese. When I saw that after 88 pounds lost, I am STILL morbid obese, I almost cried. It was like I was thrown back into time. It hard sometimes to comprehend where I really am, where I was and where I am heading to. And the sad truth is that even now, I STILL struggle with the old binge monster. I don’t give in anymore, but the fight still comes and I have to be on my toes about it.

You’re doing the necessary changes and I applaud them all. A smaller plate/bowl really helped me for a long time and I continue to use it as a tool. Being aware is so important, even when we eat more than we need to, being aware of the choice, the circumstances, where our body is at the time and so on, is what will bring us to where we need to be to practice normal eating at maintenance level.

Thanks for ur post . It so helps to know I'm not alone. Sometimes I have a day or 2 when I work out hard eat well but it doesn't seem to show in my weight yet if I have one guilty pleasure it shows up the next day. Why is that? It feels great to have lost some weight. But it's like I'm climbing a high mountain. At one point I stop to assess how far I've come. I look down and think wow look how far I've gone! And it was a hard climb so far. Then I look up and think omg I have so much more to go! That accomplishment feels so small. So tiny! But this is where we need each other. We have to keep going. Keeping at it is better than not. Even maintaining is better than gaining. "Keep pushing play" as one of my workout videos says.

Yes, I know how that feels, to have accomplished a lot and yet there is still so much more to accomplish! I drives me crazy sometimes and I really don’t have an answer for it, but know that it will eventually pass as we get closer and closer to goal. As hard and frustrating as it can be at times, what is so fabulous is realizing that I actually came this far! I really did it! I did it when I was so sure I couldn’t, when I had the worst possible things happening in my life, when I hit menopause, when I went completely inactive (living on the truck) and when I had to live a completely different way than I ever knew before. Each of those things by themselves were enough of an excuse not to do it. But I did and I am so very glad, it was worth the struggles and the frustrations of a slow loss.
