Right now I'm struggling. I have not been getting enough sleep lately and dropped off on my exercise so I'm holding at weight and have times when I've flucuated upward. :cry: I'm going to have to make a big push from the end of August to the finish line, but I am determined to make the goal weight so we can all travel…

Hey Tammy, :smile: Wow a 90 day plateau.. I'm impressed that you have kept going even in without the visible results. That speaks volumes of your consistency and comittment to making a change.

As I got closer to my goals, I let them readjust it for me. After all this is a marathon, not a sprint, right?
