100+ pounds gone forever!

WOW! Congratulations on all the hardwork. Thanks for sharing. You look great. I love reading these success stories. Thanks again.:D:D:D
 
Added to my last post. I did read your last post about working 12 hour midnight shifts. OM!!!!! Girl you really ROCK. No way would I even have a life if I worked 8 hour midnight shifts. Now I have no excuse. Thanks again.
 
Congratulations. It helps to know that large losses are possible on my very slow weight loss journey.

dixiedog6, thank you! :)


Hi Amelia! Thank you!! YOU are doing amazing too!

Oh yes, I hit a few short (less than 2 weeks) and 1-2 longer (a month or so) plateaus for sure along the way. The biggest thing I did on this journey was change my mindset and not be in such a hurry to get the weight off quickly. Initially I just kept with my plan and during the "short" plateaus the weight started coming off again. Our bodies need time to adjust, so I don't think you need to change much for 1-2 weeks of no change on the scale. There are serious changes going on inside of our bodies that we can't see, and I'd focus on all the great things I was doing for my body.

For the real plateau, I cut back calories by 100-200 a day and increased the intensity of my cardio and added another day a week of strength training to what I was already doing. In no time the scale was moving again. I was eating the Zone way, about 40% carbs and 30% protein and 30% fat. This worked well for my body. For sure watching calories, macronutrients, and changing up exercises and intensity helped me break through plateaus.

Keep up the great work!!

Amelia, that's good that you are in it for the long haul and are taking your time to adjust. I do go a bit higher to 50% carbs on more intense workout days now, especially cardio. Right now my maintenance breakdown is about 40-50% carbs, 30-40% protein and 20-30% fat.

Nan, thank you! As of Feb 1st I have maintained 70 lb loss for over one year, and that is what I'm most proud of. :D
