Ok, so I have been stuck at 129 since May 1st but am realizing that I might just be ok with that. I have gone from a size ten (in January) to a 4/6. Would love to get to 124 but I am so much stronger thanks to 9Round (www.9round.com if you want to see how I did it-kickboxing/bootcamp kind of place)....started at 145. I hit 129 in May but my body has shifted since then even though I have lost no more weight. I haven't worn short shorts in years and now when I go out I love to show off my new legs!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be 40 in a year and a half....I think I look pretty damn good! For once! Now if the grays would stop coming in.,...

Before: (holy fat arms and chin)

    Holy cats you look fantastic!! And I agree, I think you look amazing where you're at. Don't let the scale rule you! And plus, what difference is a few pounds going to make. Awesome job! :)

    You look great - weight is just a number. If you feel better and know that you are eating better, that is what is important. Awesome job!

    No WAY you are going to be 40 in a year and a half!!! Maybe in the 'before' picture, but the 'after,' you look AMAZING! You look like you could've been my sorority sister (I'm 23!)

    Congratulations on all your hard work! I know it's hard when you have a number in your head that you just want to get to, but I think you're right in that you may be done. You look incredible!

    129 is fine... don't stress about it (and you may lose a lb. or two without trying. Great pics, btw)

    I too plateau'd for many weeks and had all but given up and then I started the 17 day diet and have dropped 5 pounds in 5 days. I like seeing the scale move again and plan on sticking with this diet until the rest of my weight comes off...I have 55 pounds to lose!

    I have to agree, you look nowhere near 40! Your body knows better than the numbers, and you look great, so congratulations!

    For the person who asked, that pic was taken in Singer Island this weekend, had a girls weekend for my friends 40th. So, as a laugh, Pauly Shore was staying at our hotel and said to me as he passed me leaving the spa "Hey, don't you know me?" Um, ew. Ignore.

    What's NSFW?

    oh lol! Not Safe For Work. a popular term to warn people who are browsing forums, message boards that the topic can be deemed unsafe for work. i.e. get in trouble. etc etc.
    dont worry. you look great! I woulda guessed early 30's myself.

    You look great! Since you feel great too, I would say you are where you need to be. Maintaining your weight loss for the last 5 months is an accomplishment!!

    You look great! If I had you for 6 weeks, I'm more than sure I could do more with you, but you do look great now.

    I still have quite a bit of toning to do on my bottom half, but the zillion squats, burpees and lunges I do every week....I am getting there!
