Almost there.. 13 lbs to go

ok.. so I sit and read everyones posts and am amazed at what we all have accomplished. I started my journy at 282 lbs at 5'11.. I am now at 212 and have shrunk a bit.. Still tall yes and am soooo happy about that.. Yet these last few pounds just dont want to go..Ugh!!!!  i mean they have been coming off just not very fast any more.. Like a pound every 4 to 5 days.. i miss the fast weight loss.. Im not trying to get to small.. wld like to get to abt 180 to 190.. but at this rate seems its going to take forever.....  UGH!!

Started around the same time and same weight, I am sitting at 207 and can't wait to hit wonderland but afraid I am going to miss it when it happens on my vacation, I don't recall seeing any scales there lol. Unless I can get them 7 lbs off in the next week I will most likely miss it because I will be away for 14 days and hopefully by then they will be gone.

I am slowing down big time too and miss the scale moving, I don't even get on it every day now, maybe once a week if that. I seem to lose lots in 3 days then sit there and wait a week or so before I lose anymore, it is frustrating because I still have a long way to go.

I use to be 5'11 but shrunk over the years, now sitting at 5'9 so aiming for the low end and going to try to his 145 but 165 is good as well it was the last time I remember being that small and I liked it at that size. I was counting the years, when I hit wonderland it will be 22 yrs since I was in the 100's so it is going to be a crying moment for me I believe.

Thanks Jackie its nice to know im not alone.. Im like a scale junkie.. every morning.. UGH!!  i sooo wish I cld go on vacation and forget abt them,. I like my shape and my figure now.. hence the reason for not wanting to get too small.. Ive always been a big girl and loved it.. just the obese opart I didnt like.. I am almost outta that stage.. woo hoo...  my bmi is at 30 right now and I have a big frame.... Im sending u positive vibes.. have a great vacation

Yeah I hear ya, but I had this surgery to get as small as I can and be healthy in the normal range. I was in emergency a month or so ago and was so shocked when I had low blood pressure. It wasnt the reason I was there but it was actually nice to hear after having high blood pressure for so long. I actually ate a bit of carbs and dark chocolate this past weekend and got on the scale this morning and voila, down three pounds after sitting at 210 for a week, I actually got on the scale to see how much I gained from eating so many calories lol figure that one out. I don't recommend eating what I did but try to increase your calories for a day or two with healthier stuff.

I am busy packing for vacation and sick baby so exercise has been thrown on the back burner for the last few weeks, I was and still am such with a cold that doesn't seem to want to go away. My baby is on some antibiotics but I didn't want to get anything because I am tanning indoors and lots of meds don't allow tanning.

 Those last pounds are tough to get off...just really buckle down, watch your intake, move some more and they will come off ;)

You are doing fabulous so far though! Congrats!

I'm right there with you!  13 pounds to go and they are fighting to stick around!  But, all in time.  We can do this!

You have done so well and come so far.  Strength will get you the rest of the way, be patient and stay with your plan.

Also, try to stay away from the scale for a couple of days. I am bad about the scale everyday and sometimes feel it can be discouraging. I am also trying to weight only once a week or maybe twice but not everyday.
