So I've been plateaued for about 2 and a half months now and it's been a bit of a drag. I feel the plateau breaking any day now, but it has been a bit discouraging (though I haven't let it change my healthy lifestyle). I did a side by side comparison of when I was close to my high weight and now, and even though I feel like I'm getting bigger and look awful because my weight has been the same for so long, the pictures don't lie. Even if the scale isn't changing, I'm changing my life forever. Thought I'd share.

From 372 to 269.
Size 26 to 16.

    You look amazing! Don't worry...the plateau can't last forever. Maybe change up your routine a little. You really have done an awesome job and have no reason to be discouraged!

    What a difference! Well done, you're doing really well :-) And well done for sticking with the healthy lifestyle during a plateau, these are the most difficult times to stay motivated.

    Don't lose hope! I've found that when I plateau, I need to take a day off or I need to do something different for a while. You've done a fantastic job so far! Keep it going!

    You are doing great!! Have you tried doing measurements too? Although you may not be losing "weight" you may still be losing inches and toning up some. Just jeep going and it will happen!

    Wow, great job! That's a fantastic accomplishment. And, maybe this plateau is a "maintenance" period. Then, when your body is ready, you'll go on to the next round of weight loss. Again, fantastic job!

    You are looking so much healthier! And those plateaus DO budge eventually. I've reached some over the last few months BUT...I have been able to lose all but a teensy part of my high blood pressure medicines due to the total weight changes. My doctor says if I continue on my new lifestyle plan all the BP meds may be discontinued soon (and I am currently on a very frustrating plateau that is just now beginning to change!).

    We get used to losing and seeing those great changes so these plateaus make us 'see' the imperfections that aren't really there. All I have to do is look at old photos and get rejuvenated all over again. And trust me girl, you are looking great!
