Alright, so I have pretty much lost nothing in the last two months. I am 16.6 pounds away from my goal weight and this is my first real plateau.  What suggestions do you have for me?  I need to get there... I can feel it!  I want to hit my goal so badly!  I have lost about 3 pounds in the last two months.  UGH. Any ideas???

LOL!  Oh yes, wrinkles (in lots of places)  I have smiles lines!!!!!  I wonder if they can take some out of my stomach and refill my face!

I need to get my DH to take my pic...should have had him do it this morning in my new sassy skirt!
