Many of you remember me for my posts about being stuck at 145 (23F, 5’7, SW: 180).
About a month and a half ago I was losing my mind over the last 5 lb - not because I really think it makes a huge difference, but because I had been trying SO hard and I felt like I should have been able to drop those last few lb.
So the good people of this sub suggested a diet break, which was scary, but in the beginning of September I did about two weeks of maintenance (but keeping up with my exercise routine of running and strength training). I dropped about 0.5lb when I went back to my deficit after, and it felt amazing!
But here we go: I’ve been sticking with it consistently since then, and as my weight fluctuated between 144 (a new low) and 146 (my original “sticking point”), I figured this was just my life now.
BUT THIS MORNING I WEIGHED 142.5. It’s a small whoosh but the most exciting thing ever. I’m only 2.5 lb (!!!!) away from my goal now. Legitimately feels within reach and I feel so good.
Thanks everyone on this sub who have pushed me out of my comfort zone and supported me along the way!
