What about the Body for Life pages? BFL. I didn't go look for you but as I recall, there are some that haven't really lost a whole lotta weight but have changed their BF%. Or maybe curves even?
I'll edit this if I find something in my net wanderings this morning.

Are you taking inches measurements of yourself along your journey? That should tell you whether you really are stuck, or adding muscle and losing fat. I don't have pics that I want to post publically, but when I started lifting to failure instead of just running around like a hamster, my weight was 135 and I wore a size 8. I'm now 138 (up about 3 pounds from where I'm comfortable :( ) but wearing a tight size 4 or comfy size six. When I'm back at 134-135, The 4's fit me fine.

Kim,
You might find the kind of thing you're looking for in the member profiles at http://bodyforlife-tracker.com/ . Several of the folks there didn't necessarily lose a lot of weight, just lost fat and gained muscle.

Absolutely Exactly What I Was Looking For! Thank You To The Zillionth Power!
Also, I Am Doing Upper Right Now, During Homeschool Break. I Was Going To Do It Later, But I Have Some Obligations This Evening, And My W/o Could Have Been Derailed. Thx For The Help W/ My Priorities! I Am Getting The Upper Done Now, And Then I Will Worry About The Rest Of My Day!

Ooooh thanks LKTS! I have been obsessing about my weight a bit, but with the intensity at which I am lifting, and the intensity at which I plan to start lifting at soon, my weight shouldn't be a concern!
