    Thanks! EXACTLY what has been happening with me!!! I was getting disheartened too. I always thought "plateau"'s were usually at the last few pounds. I lost 18# in the first 8 weeks, now the last 3 weeks NOTHING! I have been craving more high cal foods and sweets. I figured I wasn't exercising enough or the right kind. This article just told me to keep it up and don't GIVE UP!!

    It was a little eerie reading this article, because it described my experience so accurately. I have been on MFP for over a year, and have lost 19 of the 32 lbs I want to lose. It's taking FOREVER. I lose a few pounds, plateau, and then after 2-3 months, I finally start losing again. Sometimes changing my workouts up helps, or changing my diet/calorie intake...but it makes a lot of sense that my body wants to stay put. The article does help me to feel a little better about my progress, and I feel much more able to keep working toward that goal! Speaking of 2-3 months...I'm right around that place, so hopefully I'll start seeing things changing again soon...
