Fitness & Friendship

Just looking for some friendly help from you fine folks on MFP. I don't have many personal friends that actually use MFP and it'd be nice to meet some new people on here for help and encouragement. I've lost 47 lbs since October 2012 and I'm currently at a "stall/plateau". I decided I wanted to start an actual 30 Day handwritten log. I'll be doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred religiously to see if that helps boost this stall. Anyone have any helpful tips to get over these long lasting stalls? It seems I've only been able to drop 2-3 lbs per month the last two months and it drives me a little insane! :) Any help would be greatly appreciated, and new friendships are welcome!

    Hi there! I've also been on a stall for a while after losing 42 pounds, and just posted in here today looking for new friends to help encourage me and vice versa. I'll add you!

    You are doing great and should not feel you are stalling when you continue to lose weight on a monthly basis.
    I try to wake up and think how can I be fitter today. I never think how can I be a better person, I think
    how can I be fitter.
  • So glad to know there are others in similar situations as me. I'm just incredibly proud of myself for not giving up when the frustration has set in. A year ago I wouldn't have stuck to any of this, so that's further than I ever expected of myself.

    Thanks for the encouraging words! Such great people and advice on this site! Thanks for the new found friendships as well :)
  • Well done for not giving up, good luck with your goal
  • Thank you! :)
