    You accomplished quite a bit so just hang in there. I used to get frustrated when things weren't moving fast enough and just give up and go back to my old ways. This site has taught me to be patient. Be proud of what you've accomplished so far and hang in there, you'll continue to make progress.

    I'm right there with you. The stupid scale says I only lost 6lbs yet the pictures show differently. You are looking good congrats

    get rid of the scale for 2 weeks, then weigh yourself again. Make sure you are journaling everything. I was at a plateau and got rid of the scale for 2 weeks and next time I weighed in I was down 4 lbs : ) Great job and keep up the good work, like someone had posted earlier also you may need to up your calorie intake.

    Increase the intensity of your exercise. Shorter rest times and train more intense.

    A quote I read recently. It takes 4 weeks for you see your body changing. It takes 8 weeks for friends and family and it takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world. SO KEEP GOING! You doing great!

    200s? Really? You sure don't look it. That is amazing progress...don't give up!

    I am indeed I weighed in this morning at 201.8lbs :/

    Thank you :)

    Next weigh in I bet you'll be below 200 ;)

    Been feeling really down lately that i've hit a plateau for two months now the scale just keeps jumping between the same 2 lbs :(
    took some new pictures at work today and compared them to my before photos and oh my goodness it put a smile
    on my face :)
    I just wish i had took more decent before photos

    Its picked me back up and Im going to keep going even though the scale is my enemy and wont let me break from the 200's grrr x

    It should put a HUGE smile on your face...Look at what you have accomplished so far!...Switch your food up...Sometimes we tend to eat the same things over and over again...Make sure you are taking in enough water...Also try changing your workout arrangement...Do a workout that you haven't done yet...You'd be surprise what happens when you use different muscle groups...:smile: You are not a quitter...Keep up the great work!

    Hope to have amazing pics like that to share one day, you should be very proud of how far you've come. I just recently hit a plateau that I couldn't break. I did juice for 3 days. All natural ( or as close as I could get to it) tomato juice, prune, mango, green goodness etc. I took in the same amout of calories for the day just in liquid... dropped 4 pounds :) I didn't feel hungry because I was still taking in... when I started feeling a little hungry I would grab a glass :) word of warning go easy with the prune juice :O lol
