Hi! Congratulations on your epic weight loss! You really are such an inspiration, and well done. After five months a reached a plateau and despite consistently exercising and eating in a caloric deficit my weight did not budge for two months! But I kept at it. You'll find lots of information about overcoming a plateau from credited professional on YouTube. Stay motivated and be patient, this is your new lifestyle and although you have a specific goal, also celebrate the non scale victories. Adding an extra km to your walk, taking the stairs comfortably, instead of the lift - that really motivated me to keep going. 

Thank you..I will keep at it! ❤️ 

Hey. Congrats on your AWESOME weight loss. Sometimes it helps to change your routine to help drop stubborn weight. Maybe try Intermittent Fasting for a while? Or do different type of workouts than what you usually do. Sometimes all the body needs is a change. Good luck! 

Try not to go by weight and rather go my measurements (i.e. with a tape measure). If you’re eating more protein and exercising more, you’ll be putting on muscle, which can make it seem like you’re not progressing on the scale x 

Yes! I concur with everyone. Well done to you on such great weight loss. And the advice to hang in there, switch things up and watch YouTube professionals for advice on breaking weight loss plateaus is sound! Do that. Lemme add what I have learned about this online. Your 1200 calories stopped being a 'deficit' as your weight decreased. As weight loss occured, your now lighter body needed even 'less' calories to just function. Either you eat even (ridiculously) less calories or up the calories you burn to continue losing weight. Since it's insanely unhealthy to eat less than 1200kcal and also not ideal or even easy to burn enough calories through exercise; consider finding out about calorie cycling. Also after such a wonderful weight loss feat, maybe just consider maintaining this weight for a while. Enjoy the new mobility and lightness even of being that comes with where you are now. All the best. 

Thanks for the advice and encouragement everyone..you are all great and I feel a little bit better..I’ll try make a few adjustments and keep my head in the game! 💪🏻🤗 

I feel the exact same! just cant get past 79!! don't give up. you have done more than amazing so far! 

We all going through the same thing. The struggle is real friend. Just hang in there... Slow progress is still progress. Stick with it...  

36 is amazing (i so wish for that number) Keep going, you almost there! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 

that's amazing!!! well done 😁 maybe switch up your training routine? lifting heavier weights might help get those last few off 😁 

That’s brilliant! You’re where I want to be! Well done on making it! I think you’ve done amazingly. I’m not sure what to suggest for that last few to lose. Am sure you’ll get there. Good luck
