For what seems like eternity, I have been stuck at the 210 mark. I was doing everything right- my calories were in check, I was eating much much healthier foods, and I was even exercising consistently. The weight just was not coming off though. I was bouncing anywhere from 207-214 for over a month. It has been so incredibly discouraging not seeing any improvement for all of the hard work I was putting in (not to mention all the chocolate I gave up!).

While normally I would have given up at this point, I stuck through it. And today, very unexpectedly, I was down to 204! My lowest weight in over a year. I am so stoked. It's the motivation I needed to reach my Halloween goal.



I just had to share with someone.

Plateaus suck big time but you rock! this made me happy to read because i'm a plateau right now and was thinking about a cupcake to cheer myself up but now i'm going to follow your good example and stay in the game. way to hang in there, congrats!!

WAHOO!!!! Nicely done - perserverance pays off.

Congratulations.

Congratulations... You are just a few weeks away from Onederland!! Keep on doing what you're doing, it's working.

This is a "just in time" message for me. I've been on a plateau for months and it is so frustrating. I'll just keep on 'trucking. Congrats to you.

Good for you and congratulations on your perseverance!! My hubby was also at a plateau for over a month and finally broke through with a 4 lb weight loss today. He was also very happy and motivated. Congrats again!

Awesome! Congrats

Congrats. Plateaus do suck, but if you stick with it, the reward is awesome!! Keep up the good work!!!

Plateaus are a bummer. My big one was over 4 months right at the 300 lbs mark. I soooo wanted to get into the 200s, and my body was teasing me!

Good work!

Awesome!

Aww thanks everyone! I was so happy- I was doing a little dance in my bathroom yesterday morning.

Awesome! I am so happy for you!!

Plateaus are so incredibly frustrating, and you rode this one out like a champ. Good for you!

CONGRATS!

I love hearing these successes because it gives me motivation that if the hard work and determination are there, the weight will eventually come off!

You're pretty. Way to go.
