I know that EVERYONE has gone through the dreaded stall but I am here to let you all know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I am about 4 months out and have had absolutely no complications whatsoever (other than a back ache).   I was recently battling with my very first stall and it lasted what seemed like months, but in actuality was the longest 2 1/2 weeks of my life.  I am one of those that have the obsession with the numbers on the scale.  I know it's a bad thing but I can't help it.    The very first thing I do when I get to work is set my things on the desk, turn the coffee pot on and go straight to the scale.  But today, I am here to tell you, if you continue with your exercise routines, continue to eat right and take those vitamins .... YOU WILL START LOSING AGAIN!!!  Promise!!!  I got on the scale today and I am 3 pounds lighter!!!    I came so close to becoming my old self and start that "emotional eating" where my thoughts were "Hell, I'm not losing weight anyway.  I might as well eat these cheese puffs!"  That's the thought pattern that got me into the trouble of obesity in first place and when I realized that, I snapped out of it and went to the gym and did laps in the pool!!!  I digress...I just wanted to let you other newbies know that patience must be one of your virtues.  I am still learning...Thanks for letting me vent fam!!!  Love ya'll and good luck to you all on your journeys.

I agree with you 100%.  I just made 4 months last week and I am down 75 lbs, only 25 more to go.  Right now I am almost at a hault but that is ok.  I am still losing inches and the clothing sizes is in the regular people section.  If I don't lose one more pound that is ok however I know that won't happen.  I exercise 5x a week and I am always on my feet when I get home.  

I will not go to my old ways it is not an option.
