Well, I thought, though 'general chat' has a 'vent' thread. We should have one too. As there are often things to vent regarding weight loss I think.

My vent.
Damn you, you last 5 kgs!!! Why won't you shift?!
I am so good with my diet and exercise, yet, no results. I just see my weight going up and down between 200-400gms, but never below 60kgs.
Why must I be tortured like this?! Argh!

Try changing up what your doing to kick start weight loss again  . I plateued so I went to bootcamp and that shifted a couple of kgs because it shocked my body doing something very different from what I had been doing

I generally do change up what I'm doing. Go between different types of exercise, to change it up. I guess it's just the norm with the last few kgs. I hear that frustrates many women.
Oh thankx James. But I'm not a tiny as my pic's make me look. I am very clever with my clothes, so they give a perception of being slim. I do wear control tights, black pants(always slimming) and a certain cut to gloss over the bad areas and I wear heels(they have a slimming affect too) and a push up bra(as that evens up the proportions) Believe me, if I don't put in the effort and I wear any old clothes, you would see my faults. I won't dare share my bikini pic. That is a true representation of my faults.

escada can I ask what BMI you're aiming for at your goal weight? Just curious. Maybe your body just likes the weight it is now hehe
I am the same. I am watching my food, exercising etc and my weight is just staying the same. I lost 2kg then Ive plateaued. I need to do something different too, to kick start it again. Knowing myself, for me it's more about exercise than food, always has been. So maybe I need to focus on upping the exercise rather than keeping within x calories. It's just hard finding the time, I know excuses dont get you anywhere but grr it still is lol

Lisa. My BMI only went from overweight to healthy when I go to 62.4kgs, so over that I'm overweight and under that, I'm healthy weight. I'm not really bothered about the number in the BMI(as long as it's not in the overweight region) and gee, what would the BMI really know, it says between 46kgs and 52.4kgs is healthy! 46kgs on me would be anorexic!
Yeah, do walking if you find other things more of an effort. When I'm over the idea of exercise, I just go for a walk(that way Annabelle eventually falls asleep) Or, if you're super keen, they do weight loss challenges on MFP or you could do the 30 day shred.
Edited to add, my BMI at the moment is: 23.8

Oh, love a vent thread for weight loss!!
Awesome for you Escadachic for cracking the 60! I love cracking the numbers like that. I started at 95, and wow the excitement for cracking 90, and now I'm hovering right on 80-81, grrr can't crack it for last few weeks!
Ideally I wanna crack the 70 and sit right around there. As for BMI, I do think it's a load of crap. It doesn't take into account muscle mass which weighs more than fat. And seeing your recommended weight from BMI would make you anorexic makes me thing even more now that it's BS!
Vent for me, I spent 4-5 months running a total of about 400km to lose 15kg, and then heard of a friend who lost 12kg in 12 weeks through weight watchers. Made it sound so easy!!
And why do people just assume that you must of lost the weight from breastfeeding. Damn, I've worked hard to get ride of it, it didn't just melt off like people tell you when you're pregnant
Oh, so many vents :-)

Have a read of this:
Plateau's
It might help, if you are have hit a plateau.
Yeah, I agree about BMI. Mine says between 46kgs and 62.4kgs. And on me, 46kgs would look/be anorexic and that's taking into consideration I'm a short ass(5ft2/158cms)

Do ya do your measurements?
My weight has remained the same (59.0-59.4kg) for the last couple of months yet my lower abs have shrunk by 8cm. I do lots of weights though so I'm loosing fat.. gaining muscle. My trainer thinks 59 is where my body wants to be (I'm 5'4) and that I'm not gonna go below that.
If you see your measurements go down it makes the kg weight staying the same a little easier to swallow hehe

Yeah the numbers haven't changed much Kebakat. But they will soon. As I'm doing the 30 Day Shred. My weight for my body shape and height will be fine when I get to my goal weight of 55kgs. As I'm 5ft2(158cms) and I have a small bone structure.
Might be just weight swapping for muscle as you suggested.

I know this may be the wrong place to write this but....
I am quite annoyed by the fact that I've put on so much weight during this pregnancy. I have no idea how much I weigh but it can't be good. I feel like going on a diet the moment I give birth (of course that's not practical).

You could just ask you midwife for advice about staying healthy and exercise during pregnancy.
It is actually ok to lose weight during pregnancy. There are 2 ladies in the Weight Loss thread who are. Maybe P.M them on here and ask their advice.

Although I'm not actually trying to lose weight, I'm just trying not to gain huge amounts.

Hi there :)
I just weighed myself and I'm 81.7kg :s my height is 5ft 4 and I was 66kg when I was about 6 weeks pregnant. That means I've put on a whopping 15.7kg in 20 weeks. I still have 14 weeks to go.
I really don't believe that I would harm my baby in any way if I dieted, as long as I ate all the healthy stuff and didn't starve myself at all. This is the first time I've heard that it's ok to lose weight during pregnancy, I would love to give it a go, even if it's just a few kg, it would be much easier now, rather than with a newborn baby when I'm exhausted.

You could join us on MyFitnessPal. Sharlene.
Just go to the messageboards and maybe search something along the lines of 'calorie goal during pregnancy'. There's usually heaps of info in their messageboards.
I saw a lady running, with a dog yesterday, she looked about 7 months pregnant! So I'm quite sure there are plenty of exercises you can do while you are pregnant.
And yeah, better to do it now, then stress about it once bubs is here. I wish I'd attempted to control myself and stuck to a healthy diet and exercise while I was pregnant with Annabelle. I mean, yes, I've lost all the weight. But it would've been easier if I'd not gained so much and gotten into bad habits while I was pregnant. Mind you, I was eating badly before I got pregnant.
So you'll get there. If you ever have the petrol to come over my way, we can get exercise together. Or do Zumba. I'm pretty sure you can do Zumba during pregnancy. You do it aye MummyDee?
