I am stuck at 80 kilos, will not budge no matter what I eat I am not gaining either.
Sounds like your weight has plateaued Vince ~ it happened to me last year. Easier said than done but don't worry, just keep up with your brisk walks.:D

Hi Vince. Do you think you may have hit your optimum weight, hence the plateau? Katie
 
Hi all. Back on track after a holiday/slight gain. Net result is 10lb loss since Christmas. So need to really give this a good go now. Aiming for a couple of pounds a week as quite a way to target (2 stones!.) Wish me luck! Katie

Good luck Katie, you can do it! 🙂 Two pounds a week is a very achievable and sustainable target, I think 🙂

Dont be disheartened if you lose 1/2 or 1lb, it happens, i had weeks of sts, or 1/2lb and yes i did feel peed off but i kept plodding, i hit target bang on a year, then the nest week for no reason what so ever put 3lb on😱 but its all gone and even more beside :D i am lower than target at the minute
After weeks and weeks i have now lost two more pounds, so exactly a stone since January. I will get to my target eventually 😉

My last Monday morning weekly weigh-in was the same 75.5kilos: a miracle considering that week of slightly raised BS due to lowering of insulin doses as exercising lowered my BS more than I liked.

This morning my weight was 73.6kilos. I fell off the wagon a bit in the very late/very early hours of Tuesday/Wednesday when I ate about the same amount of calories on top of what I'd already eaten that day after getting some distressing news!

I did better yesterday & last night by remembering @Bloden advice on the thread "Overcoming Overeating" on the books forum: feel the emotion; not eat the emotion!

So, weight loss is back on track! Since early March 2018 when I was 79.4kilos, I've lost 5.8kilos. Despite a few set backs, here & there!
 
Well done Lanny! 🙂

Maybe @Katieb
I am still happy with it I wanted to be around 78kgs or so but I do eat a lot lol
Still bet🙂ter than the 98kgs 8 months ago so will not complain

A good target to have @Katieb and as @Northerner quite rightly states sustainable 🙂
 
Weekly Monday weigh-in 75.6kilos! My leg muscles that turned soft & flabby this year are starting to firm up a bit now with all the trampolining! I just managed to finish the whole 30 minutes routine today! I screamed “I finished it” afterwards & must have startled the neighbours: windows & conservatory door open; Mel Gibson in Braveheart has got nothing compared to me! :D
 
Weighed myself this morning, 79.6kgs. My weight seems to fluctuate between 79 and 81 these days.
Maybe I have reached my optimum weight.
I know for sure I will gain weight again when I return to the UK at the end of the month.
 
So 13lbs lost this year so far - another 3lbs off! I. Will be so happy when I tip the stone mark! 1st 1lb to go to first target!
 
13st 3lbs this morning 2st 1lbs lost 1st 4lbs to go for my first target of just under 12st and no longer overweight
