Man, I've been stuck at the same weight for several, several months now. I quit looking at the scale atleast 3 months ago up until last week still no change. Now my body has changed, I can definitely see definition now. I feel like I have lost my way, I still have atleast 60 lbs more that I want to lose and its like I dont know how to get there. I've taken a break for almost 2 weeks and now I could careless about going back to the gym. I still want to lose the weight and gain some more muscle but I thought with a little over 2 years into this I would be at my goal. The good thing is I haven't gained any weight back. Anyway I got to find my way back.

What ever you do don't stop! You have come too far to quit. Do you do any other exercise besides the gym? Find a new cardio to do. Go on bike rides on the weekend. Run a couple times a week.

Try to enjoy the process of getting and have some fun.

Sometimes when there is a plateau you need to change something up in your routine.

Good luck!

This a quote from Bruce Lee. It's pretty cool.
Bruce had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We’d run the three miles in twenty-one or twenty-two minutes. Just under eight minutes a mile [Note: when running on his own in 1968, Lee would get his time down to six-and-a half minutes per mile]. So this morning he said to me “We’re going to go five.” I said, “Bruce, I can’t go five. I’m a helluva lot older than you are, and I can’t do five.” He said, “When we get to three, we’ll shift gears and it’s only two more and you’ll do it.” I said “Okay, hell, I’ll go for it.” So we get to three, we go into the fourth mile and I’m okay for three or four minutes, and then I really begin to give out. I’m tired, my heart’s pounding, I can’t go any more and so I say to him, “Bruce if I run any more,” –and we’re still running-”if I run any more I’m liable to have a heart attack and die.” He said, “Then die.” It made me so mad that I went the full five miles. Afterward I went to the shower and then I wanted to talk to him about it. I said, you know, “Why did you say that?” He said, “Because you might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
