Girl, first let me say: HOW WONDERFUL ARE YOU???? You have already lost over 15% (almost 20%) of your weight!! WOO-HOO!!

I have read several places that sometimes you need to "jump start" the weight loss again by changing up your calorie intake, or change the type of exercise you do.

But...something else, did you take your measurements when you started? So often the scale does not move; yet, we have the NSV (non-scale victory) of getting smaller even though the scale doesn't change.

Let me say: KEEP IT UP!! It WILL come off!!

Huge difference! Great work.
I just hit 46 lb lost and felt the same thing. I looked at my before and current pic side by side and it reminded me that there is difference. I think the compliments slow down around this time and it has become so routine that it is less exciting internally. I set myself a new goal of hitting 50lbs before the end of the year and that reinvigorated me. I'm losing much slower than you though. I've been at it since April (I started on MFP in August).

Hey - you're doing amazingly well! You've lost more weight in 3 months as I did in a year! You should be very proud! Well done!

46 lbs is an amazing accomplishment, but I can tell from your post that you're not ready to be done. Find your inner strength to keep this journey going. Maybe set new goals, create a vision board with pictures of your favorite outfits, a country you'd like to visit, or a home you'd like to buy someday. It doesn't have to be fitness related. It could be something that reminds you that you are goal oriented, that are determined and driven. That you can do this! I have faith in you and I think your name is perfect, you are a natural beauty and your health is beauty as well. Don't give up on that natural beauty.

46 lbs in 3 months is very good progress indeed. There is much about your progress to be encouraged by. But I understand being discouraged after a while. The initial excitement of doing something about your weight, the evidence that it's working, and all that was so encouraging when you started begins to wane. The routine becomes a drudgery and you feel like you'll never get there. Like another poster said, you need to figure out why you're feeling discouraged. Figure it out and face it and remind yourself of the progress you've already made. It's encouraging that you reached out to MFP at this time though. So many people try to hide when they're feeling discouraged. It's a good sign that you are turning to others who understand to help you through. You can do this. You've already proven that you can. Just keep with it.
