I've been kind of down about being stuck at the same weight for about 5 weeks and then gaining a pound today. Yes, I've lost inches and I'm really excited about that .. more than excited about it, I'm over the moon about it. But mentally, damnit, I want that number to move DOWN on the scale. Tonight I looked at some pictures of myself from now and about the past 6 months and I can actually tell that I've lost weight ... I'm going to keep trudging ahead and but damn these plateaus are freaking difficult. I know a lot of you (at least a bunch of people that I'm friends with) are going through the same thing. As many times as I tell myself that this journey is way more about the number on the scale .. it's still damn depressing when it doesn't do what it wants you to do. Happy health and fitness everyone :)

    I see a major difference! you are doing so great! and I completely relate to the whole "stuck" thing because I also am sitting at 34 pounds lost and feel like I'm not getting anywhere either. even though the measuring tape keeps showing me smaller and smaller numbers. it's just not the same as that blasted scale showing lower numbers! :laugh:

    You look INCREDIBLE!! HOLY smokes, what a huge difference!! You look bright, healthy and happy and BEAUTIFUL now (your before pic was pretty also, but such a difference now). KEEP IT UP!! I had a crazy plateau that was also 5 weeks. Lost and GAINED the same darn 2 pounds AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!! Then last week lost 6 pounds!! So I know how frustrating it is!! Hang in there!! :)

    You look amazing! I just went through the same thing, for once I did not let it stop me from doing what I was doing, I figured that sooner or later the scale would start to move again....and finally this week it did! So just keep on going, you will be rewarded!

    I am in the same boat, I started at about the same weight as you and am down to 201 - 203 given the day. Any suggestions on plateau breaking would be wonderful.
