Of course not lol. It's not good weight loss if you haven't lost blood sweat and tears with it.

How about trying to take a few days off the exercise! Have a few baths with Epsom salts.
Chill out and think about how far you have come!
Turn that frown upside down :)

I have turned a major corner!!!!! I think it's a lot got to do with mind over matter!
Rest the mind and the body and u will come back fighting fitter and have a burst at the weight loss.
I am 15lb off goal weight. That's my long term goal. I never thought I would be here.
That ***** striped me bare last week and again yesterday and Wednesday! I'm back training for a job I want tomorrow and Sunday.
After all her negativity towards/about me! I kinda hope she tells me I'm not good enough so I can continue my journey alone and try another approach on my own.

Have u lost anything? Coz u have to remember even a pound a week is progress!!!! That would be 5lb before getting the balloon!
Try increasing the amount of water u drink!
Drink 2-3 lts of water a day will boost ur metabolism by 25%........ No that's a good start for just one change. If u don't like water or find it hard to drink, put strawberries, grapes, lemon, limes,mint leaves in it and ice all in a big jug and drink away! It will also help detox ur body. Tasty too.
Another good tip is exercise on an empty stomach so you burn off stored fat instead of walking off your dinner. When your done have some protein within a half hour, your metabolism is revved up and will burn this off quickly and keep hunger at bay till ur next meal.
If u exercise early in the day your metabolism will be higher for the day.
Make one change at a time and you will be well on the road to success.
But we all need to think more positive about our body's and loosing the weight.
As far as I know only 2 out of ten people who loose weight will manage to keep it off!
I refuse to be one of those 8 that fail!!!!!!!
What about u?

I used to do an amazing boot camp when I lived in England. But I hardly lost any weight just changed shape. Was only about 12 lbs lighter than I am now . I just can't get the scales down !!!!
 
A bit better today thanks treacle. Luckily my attacks don't last for days n days like a lot of peeps out there ( touch wood). The high protein diet has just made them a lot more frequent :/.
The weight will shift eventually hun just stick to your diet plan & drink plenty. Don't weigh yourself constantly either limit yourself to no more than once a week (preferably once a fortnight). Dont let it become an obsession as it is not only unhealthy but is mentaly wearing. Take it from somebody who is a serious scales junkie!! I am seriously thinking of taking mine to my parents house lol x
 
I have actually laid off of myself a little this last week. Ironically am within my calories easily - have just gone back to bariatric basics. Slightly more carbs, slightly less protein but feel less mopey about it all right now. 1.8lbs off didn't hurt.
 
? Looks like things are looking up!!!

I had a fab day training!!! Learning loads! Fingers crossed I will be heading for this job head first in September! Fingers crossed for me :)

Sometimes I think we become so focused on targets & weight loss that we can't see the wood for the trees and need to step back a little every so often so as to see the bigger picture as well as take a breather. I am too scared to do that at the moment because not only are too many targets all coming at once but the " big one" is amongst them. I feel like I can't breathe sometimes for the stress of it all. The targets seem harder to reach at the moment too as things appear to have slowed down a tad dispite the effort being put in but I really don't know if its all in my head or if its the strain of getting to that big 50 bmi playing with my head! I truly believe that once I get there and the stress of it all has gone the weight will start to fall off again.
Not being negative here btw it's just my thoughts on things just now. X

Not negative at all hon! The thing is our bodies react to stress. We forget that everything we do with our mind has an effect on our body. I was diagnosed with something a little while ago and the meds are playing merry hell with me, been signed off work, nausea pain dizziness, the works. And there I was worrying about my calories! I went over every day this last week- not by much. But felt out of control. Went back to basics, still tracking but more because I don't want to give up, I just want to start being kinder to myself. And I had a better loss than I've had in a little while. And if the numbers aren't perfect - so what? I'm still losing and trying to lose, still eating with awareness. And maybe i'll rethink once I'm better. But I'm on these tablets for another 2 months almost. I just have to do what I can. Milestones are a funny one - I thought 10 stone would feel amazing...and it did, except there was 10 stone more. I though that being size 18 was the be all....but there's size 16. We can find ourselves endless sticks to beat ourselves with. Or we can try to find a way that treats our selves with kindness.

Not preachy at all hun.... Sorry I didn't answer right away as I fell asleep lol.

Knowing what meds can do to our system (hence why I fell asleep) i truly hope you do feel better soon & what you said was perfectly correct. When we attain our targets we desperately replace it with another and more ... It keeps us on our toes I suppose lol
