YAY!!! I finally broke my plateau! I've been playing back and forth between 188.8 and 190 for about a month now, despite going to the gym four or five times per week and remaining on program (for the most part). I was getting very frustrated and by Friday night, had hit the wall. The counsellor told me to go home and relax for the weekend. I did, and actually went off program - not too severely, but enough to shake up my metabolism obviously!

When I went to get weighed in on Monday I was back up to 190. Today I went in, after three days of being perfectly on program, and I was at 187.8!!! I finally got below 188! What this has done for me mentally is huge! She told me that I'm 1 lb away from the gold plan, and she figures I'll be there by the end of the week. Not sure I'm keen on losing a veggie serving, but hey, I'll get them back when I'm at my goal! It will be so worth it.

Congrats Sandy! I just got moved to Gold on Friday and I actually havent missed the extra veggie, you'll do great!

Great job Sandy!!!

YAY Sandy!

WTG Sandy....I hope to break mine soon.

Congratulations!!! WTG!!

WTG Sandy! I was stuck for awhile before too and I gave myself a little talking to about being patient and staying POP and being good to my body. And it worked for me too. I wonder if the stress factor can have you holding on to stuff too? Congrats again!

*waving the stick!*

Wtg!!

Congratulations, your perserverance paid off!
