plateaus suck, but there is always a bright side!

I was so frustrated that I have been stuck on a plateau for the past three weeks despite the fact that I have lost a tremendous amount of weight. Three days ago I changed up my exercise plan and started running. Today as I was running, it finally dawned on me that I was RUNNING! Just months ago I would not have even been able to walk the distance that I have been running, and not even jogging but literally running! Even if I don't lose another pound, I have so much to be proud of! I am going to work on some more pounds, though...lol.

Running, now that sounds like a lifestyle change, that is directly possibly because you have made some awesome progress!

It's important to recognize your criteria for success changes the closer that you get to your goal.

Great work and keep running, you'll have your metabolism so maxed out that the stall will end before you know it.

Congratulations!!!!

Can't wait for the day I can run (comfortably) again! My 12 year old son and I are planning on running in a race in May!

Plateaus have become my life, but I try to remind myself to enjoy each day and each part of the journey. Congratulations on your wonderful loss!

Thanks everyone for the support! It has been a heck of a journey, but I am enjoying every minute of it!

Stalls rock! Anytime you start a stall, take your measurements! Things are still happening and usually for the good.
