I know 26lb is not a lot - but i have been stuck at 26lb for the last 3 weeks so i thought i would have a look at some pics to try and keep myself focussed

So holiday pics from Cornwall August 2011 followed by holiday pics from Egypt Jan 2012

i think you can tell the difference but i wanted to share (and see if others could tell)

BTW hubby has lost 3 stone too

Before (Aug 2011) the pictures on holiday that made me start to diet!

    You both look 10 years younger. Congrats and keep up the good work. If you are in a rut, change up your diet, eat a few more calories for a few days, change up the routine. It will help your body jumpstart itself again.

    I have increased my calories this week from 1200 to 1470 (enjoying the extra 270 a day) but after a week still no change - i have increased my exercise over the last few weeks and wondered if this is stopping me losing weight (somehow) I am doing C25K ( week 2 ) 3 times a week (not moved on yet as still unfit) and inbetween days i do level 1 of 30 day shred.

    I am thining of cutting back the exercise to 3 times a week to give my body a chance to recover

    Interestingly (or not) i lost 5 stone 4 years ago with Rosemary Conley, put 2 stone back on before starting MFP and have stopped losing at exactly the same weight as i did before with RC!

    26lbs is Great but I have to say, you look like you have lost more than that...:-) Maybe you are replacing the fat with muscle so the scale isn't an accurate way to tell. Have you taken measurements? Your arms, waist and hips looks so much thinner. You look GREAT! Keep up the good work. It's definitely paying off...:-)

    Look at your legs in that last pic - huge difference just there! And as others have said, noticeable differences all over. Congratulations!!! I'm only a fraction of the way to where you are, but I can't wait to see that kind of difference!

    You can most certainly see the difference and hey, 26lbs IS alot and you should be proud of having lost that much to date :-)

    You may have hit a plateau due to your body/muscles having gotten used to the same workouts ... try throwing something else into the loop or doing a completely different workout for 4 weeks and see if that shakes things up a bit.
