Hi fellow MFers! And you know I mean Medifasters, not the other connotation associated with those 2 letters, right? 
I am giving you a hug because of all of your hard work (and prob cuz I could use one too!) I wanted to share my awesome progress so far w/ MF: to date, after 10 weeks, I have lost 52 life-sucking pounds!!! I've gone down 3 clothing sizes, get tons of compliments, and my bp / cholesterol / blood sugar levels are all in the healthy to good range now! My secrets? REad Dr. A's book, Habits of Health -- it is my bible -- and drink as much water as you can hold....and then drink some more! I also take a One-a-Day Women's Energy multivitamin daily and 2 caplets of Heart Health Fish Oil a day. I am an Elementary School Teacher, and so I walk a good 2 miles / day, and then once home, walk the dog another mile or so. I also kayak, swim, do toning exercises, and I just took my first Zumba class last night...very fun, challenging, but man, am I sore today! Anyway, I wish you the best on your weight loss journeys. I wouldn't be where I am today without the support of all of you hard-working, soul-searching, patient, determined fellow human beings....so thank you for your support and encouragement...together we really can achieve a life w/o limitations!

I admit I had a stall this past week too. Can definitely relate! I weighed in today, and had only lost 2 lbs. for the week. Despite increased exercise -- even the intense, body shaking ZumBa! -- I still ate two many almonds and Kosher dills, and now I am seeing the results of that. When I follow the plan to the letter, eat every 3 hours, drink 2-3 qts. water daily, post for inspiration / encouragement daily, walk the dog 1-2 miles daily, I lose 5-6 lbs. per week. So back to the basics -- I'll do what I know works, stop stressing and worrying over what I can't control, and focus on what I can do, and what I have accomplished thus far!
