Stuck on You by Lionel Richie: Songwriters: Lionel B. Jr. Richie

[Johnny-One]

I continue to stick to my healthy eating regime, and my healthy lifestyle of walking on average four miles a day (9,761 steps), although some days I am walking much further. What gets me so disheartened is that time I step on the scales at the end of the week to find I have not budged any more pounds.

Do not get me wrong, like I have said over the last few weeks, I have lost 34lbs (15.4 kilos) in weight since last August which is phenomenal, but I have been stuck at 12 stone 7 (79.4 kilos) for 5 weeks. For this reason, I have chosen Lionel Richie’s song, “Stuck on You” …

Do not get me wrong, I will win my own personal battle and loose that last stone I am aiming for, it just feels a little uphill at the moment. A couple more months should see me through.

How are your week’s going? Are you making friends with your health? Good luck with whatever you are planning.

Stuck on you

I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose

Guess I'm on my way

Needed a friend

And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end

Guess I'm on my way

Mighty glad you stayed

…

I'm stuck on you

Been a fool too long I guess it's time for me to come on home

Guess I'm on my way

So hard to see

That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me

Guess I'm on my way

Mighty glad you stayed

…

Oh, I'm leaving on that midnight train tomorrow

And I know just where I'm going

I've packed up my troubles and I've thrown them all away

'Cause this time little darling

I'm coming home to stay

…

I'm stuck on you

I've got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose

Guess I'm on my way

Needed a friend

And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you 'til the end

Guess I'm on my way

I'm mighty glad you stayed

I'm mighty glad you stayed

Really like your post Johnny-One

I have been trying to lose weight since August as well.

But I have a lot more to lose than you and I have only managed 7.7kg.

So I can appreciate your amazing achievement.

I have been stuck on around 112 kg for months.

I really like that song as well so it will make me feel a little better to remember it when I next have a STS.

Thanks for your message and I wish you every success.

Your story mirrors mine as I lost 18kg and my body seems to love being between 62-64kg . I eat well , exercise and do fairly manual job . BMI wise at 5ft 1 I am still overweight although I actually look quite slim in jeans . I don't follow a 'diet' and something must have worked . 3 meals a day , rarely snack and eat mountains of fresh . Rarely red meat , odd glass of wine and try to avoid processed foods . Guess my body likes this weight . I think I would have to starve for what would be unsustainable temp loss .

Still do not like it. I want to lose a little more ... I will keep up the healthy living and see how it goes.

Same too . Maybe warmer weather will do the trick . I tend to eat less in summer . Living on a prayer or the ceiling .
