    Ok, I'm such a broken record, but I'll post this again, just for you! I didn't just come up with this on my own, btw, this is what they say about plateaus from Curves Complete. When you hit a plateau, usually once you've lost so much weight, you need to increase calories to gain 1-2lb's. It's kind of a nice little break. It doesn't mean go crazy and live at Mcdonalds, or anything, but yes you can have a little fun here! Once you've gained 1-2lb's, decrease calories again, lose the 1-2lb's, and repeat. I was able to lose again without the repeat part, but this is what they recommend. I've done it, and it definately works. I think once your body catches on to the fact that you've lost so much weight, it says, oh no! We're starving! And slows metabolism to protect you from starvation. After all, our bodyies are not aware that we live in a country with (typically) plentiful, available foods. Our bodies are built for survival. Have fun! And good luck!!!

    Do you know Happy Feet 2??
    Well there's a quote from that movie "If you want it, you must will it. If you will it, it will be yours."
    Just tell that to yourself :)
