I'm totally agree!! Plateaus are so irritating! Seeing no progress even with good food choices and added exercise is maddening! But what's the alternative? I'm NOT going back to the habits that made me 50+ pounds overweight. Hope you don't either. I felt like crap. I'll hang tough and take the plateau lol!
