I’ve been stuck in the same cycle so many times and it can be so frustrating!! Hope you get that bigger whoosh, BR! Have a wonderful day. 

morning - thanks NN. watching yours and others success always keeps me motivated. have a great day and weekend! 

Thanks Petra. Good advice to keep in mind. You keep rocking and we will “slowly” lose what we want together  

I was looking for, but can't find, an article that my naturopath sent me about weight loss and places where our bodies have felt comfortable. For example, I spent a lot of time in the 130's - about 5 years. I'm back in the 130's and as hard as I'm trying to get out of them, it's like my body is going, "no, we spent a lot of time here once upon a time and it's comfortable and good for us". So I'm fighting for every ounce lost. So much plays into weight loss and fitness that has nothing to do with calories/ fat / carbs, etc. Periods of high stress mean that I won't lose anything unless I just stop eating. The good news is that our bodies are amazingly adaptable machines and if you're doing everything else right you will eventually see results. Slow and steady is always better. 

I had that too. I decided to do a 72 hour fast to force my body past its comfort point....  

You’re right atrie. I have definitely hit plateaus and our bodies have set points. Finding the trigger to break they is the key. A 72 hour fast seems like a good way.  

Same but I keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds. but I cannot fast. 

Abby, have you tried the circadian rhythm fast?  

I hope you see more progress soon! Keep up the hard work 💪  

down is down, buddy!  

Breel I will look that up. Hadn't heard of it. Thanks. And HCB you’re right. Down is down. Thanks budddy😁 

Youre welcome 😊 I think that is the most doable fast for almost anyone. I use an app to track my fasts, it's called Zero, it is awesome! Lots of information on the different kinds of fasts and their health benefits.  

No, what is it?  

I've been in the same range for almost 2 months now, but I have not been eating well. Time to buckle down and get it done. 💛 

Shir - sounds like you're holding steady - and glad you're back and i am sure you will buckle down and keep on trending down as you were before the past 2 months. i just hope all is well with you and some stress has passed.  

Br_e_co, all is well and I've decided to just let it go for now. As the prayer goes, ...to accept the things you cannot change, and to have the wisdom to know the difference... (or something like that).
