I think I hit a plateau.

I've been on a major plateau since about the middle of December. I'm attributing it to a couple things.. the holidays and the sudden loss of my father Dec. 29. I've finally just stared dropping a couple pounds a week ago. I will 'fess up that I haven't been hitting the gym that much. Ive been a bit in the blues with the winter and my father's loss. The worst part.. I've plateaued at 99 (!!!!) pounds. I've been going back and forth from 94-99 lbs lost for the past three weeks and it's MADDENING! I can't WAIT for spring to come so I can restart my daily walks!

Wow 99 pounds, well I'm jealous. I am truely sorry for your loss. And during the holidays makes it so much harder. But you should really be proud of your success so far. I'm losing, but it just seems so slow. I'm now down 76 pounds. I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, and I feel great, but I see how other August people are doing and I start feeling depressed about my slow loss. My hope is to be down under 200 by my birthday in March. But what can we do but keep on working at it, right?!

i'm at 85 pounds lost and have been for about 4 weeks.. is my body done? is it saying "here we are"? i'm sooo frustrated and worried too.. i started at 317 and now am at 232(ish) and can 't seem to budge.. i exercise, although ihave to take it a bit easy.. i hurt my foot.., i watch what i eat.. i'm very good about that.. i drink tons of water.. i'm at a loss.. i dont' know how to get the ball rolling again the downward direction. this can't be it, can it?
