Your body needs fuel. If you've increased the amount of exercise you're doing, you also have to increase your calories a bit, or it's going to think you're starving and fight back. It's a fun game.

It’s supposed to fight back by burning fat!

Yeah, it won't though. It sucks! I'm very close to my goal and the closer I get the harder it fights back!

Your body fights starving. Age doesn't help.

Down 64#. The twos are in sight.

That's awesome! Keep at it!

One of the things I have to remember is that it's not just about the numbers on the scale, but about inches lost, especially around the waist. I've lost 26 inches and only 109.4 pounds. My legs are extraordinarily strong and that's part of the reason I'm not losing pounds as much as inches. I used to be able to squat 550 pounds before my back surgery, so they've always been strong...and then carrying the extra weight all these years has maintained their strength. But it's still frustrating as hell when you have a goal in mind for the scale and the numbers aren't what you want quite yet.

congrats, I hope you find it motivating

So…I suck. Time to restart. Kind of sad about it. String back this weekend.

Dude, I am on my 3rd time of losing over 100 pounds in 22 years. You don't suck. It happens. Just get back to it. You got this. Derek will be over shortly to hold you and rub your head to cheer you up. He did ask if you would like him to bring another blanket with him...so there's that.

He hates me now. He never calls.

Down 66# as of this morning.

I am truly sorry for your loss.

YAY! That's great!

I'm still holding at 109.4 pounds down, but I am almost back into a 34 shorts...My nephew's wedding is coming up in June and I'm going to have to have the suit that I had altered in 2013 realtered. The legs will have to be tapered, the waist taken in and the jacket will have to be taken in as well. Good thing the damn thing is still in style.
