I am in a similar 3 week "stall" (I didn't know a plateau was 6+ weeks). I haven't lost as much as you but about 52 lbs in 6 months with 30lbs to go. This is my first time on the community area. I have been doing this on my own but if you are interested in helping each other stay motivated please feel free to add me as a…
