I've been stuck on a stupid plateau for about 2 weeks now, so before I throw my scale and my new healthy lifestyle out of the window...I decided to remind myself of how far I've come. I had lost about 40 lbs before I joined MFP and met you fine people and it has helped me get off my former plateau and lose about 12 more pounds...and I just needed to remind myself of who I used to be and how happy I should be with how far I've come...Thank you guys for your support, I couldn't have gotten this far without you. :wink:

    You look amazing. Please don't give up. Look at a plateau as your body's way of playing catch up and you have to do something different to keep it running. You can get there if you stick to it! Go girl.

    Wow, look how much your face has thinned down! Great job!!

    Keep it up. Even if the scale isn't moving...you are doing better for your body. What you are doing is making yourself HEALTHIER! In the end, isn't that what's really important? You can do this! It's a long hard journey, but well worth it! :)

    The plateau is just a test. Don't fail the test. You have come so far...and you look great...either way you were beautiful, but you do not want to go back to unhealthy habits. STAY FOCUSED on and do not stop...You'll probably drop a lot after the plateau period ends.

    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I want to be like you and post BEFORE and AFTER PICS at every 50lbs lost!

    Plateaus suck. I just conquered mine after being stuck for about 3 weeks. Just keep pushing through, you will get past it. Don't give up!!! You have come so far.
