Hi, I'm new here and would love to get any advice or encouragement or inspiration from others that are going through the 'battle of the bulge'. I use to weigh 365 pounds. I started losing weight in November 2007 and have lost 113 pounds so far with excersize and eating right. I have been losing about 3 pounds a week, but last week i have been stuck at 252 and the scale wont budge. It is very frustrating, because i have not cheated or stopped excersizing. And another problem i am facing is the dreaded loose skin issues. I have been working so hard to try and loose all this weight, and i dont wont to end up looking worse than i started out. I hope to get any feedback on these issues....thanx soooo much!!!:waving:
 
Welcome to the forum! I don't know what to do about loose skin, but I'm really afraid of it!! Best wishes, and congrats on your weight loss so far!! :D
 
I understand that loose skin should be given a couple of years to restore itself prior to considering a surgical option. I know I'm not happy with how my tummy looks right now...but it should improve.

113 pound gone is remarkable! Congrats are in order!!! Sometimes just changing up your diet/exercise is necessary to break through the plateau...and cutting calories isn't always the answer. Sometimes you need to eat more for a while.

Last thought...welcome to the forum Pamela!
 
thanx .... i go to curves today, and i will see if i am still stuck at 252!! i hope not, but i know i am going to keep working hard no matter what. and thanx for the warm welcome also :)
