    Don't say that! Are you eating enough calories? I'm sure if you reach out to enough people you can figure it out. We can figure it out

    Don't give it. Take a look at not just the workouts but what you are eating... previous to join MFP i was at a plateau, however with slight changes and more healthier options, lots of water, I was able to push myself. But i did have to stop eating some things and of course, balance it all out.

    Don't GIVE UP!!!! (((((hugs)))) you will get through this.

    I know the feeling! But my past experience has been... that either I was working on losing weight... or the weight was going up. So if you aren't gaining weight, that is still a good thing. If you give up... you won't stay where you are at now, in two weeks, you will weigh more! Keep working!

    Are you measuring? We sometimes lose inches and not weight.

    Maybe you should not focus on the scale so much and start focusing on your health more...Your body is going to be much happier when you are eating better and working out. Just because the scale isn't moving doesn't mean you should give up. Taking care of yourself is always a good thing whether or not your losing weight or not. Your body will eventually adjust to this routine as well and then eventually you will start seeing loss again, so keep pushing through and your body will adjust. Good Luck!

    hey, it happens to all of us! I had been stuck since April 27th! This past week I have lost 4 lbs. The difference has been that I actually increased my calories. didn't change anything on mfp but just started eatting closer to 1400 calories instead of 1200. One of my friends suggested zig zagging! Have you tried that. I was just nervous to try it, but it has worked for me! I haven't lost 4 in 1 week since I 1st atarted. I've lost 3, but not 4! And the weeks not over yet! Just try increasing your intake! I increased my breakfast calories. Don't give up! You haven't come this far to give up now! Your under 200 don't give up!

    Don't give up...there are too many factors involved, water retention, muscle building, etc. It will come off if you are eating right and expending more calories than you are eating! You can do this! Meanwhile, get a measuring tape and start checking if you are losing inches instead! I bet your thighs and backside are trimming up from the running! Celebrate those type of things to keep yourself motivated when the scale doesn't move!--You are doing great things for yourself!
