Positive(ly) Frustrat(ed)ion

  I know - the title's sorta weird, but that's how I feel right now, so please bear with me while I vent (it's okay, Robin) - I've hit a plateau (I think) over the last two weeks.  No weight loss per se, absolutely no desire to exercise, & I want to eat everything in sight!!    At least I know I'm over that hurdle.  I'm not eating anything bad or piggin' out, but I definitely have gotten my desire to eat back - and frankly folks - IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME!    I've lost 100+ pounds so far, I've got 130+ more to go to reach my personal goal of 150. So I just need words of encouragement, discipline, or whatever you've got.  I need to know I'm okay and as long as I'm careful, I won't gain the weight back, I'll keep losing, etc., etc., etc. P.S.  Did anyone run into the physical situation of being "SORE" all over?!  No, it's not the flu, just constant muscle aches & pains... P.P.S.  Thank-you everyone for listening to me...

You are completely normal.  Your weight loss is fantastic !  I slowed down greatly after I hit the 100 lb mark.  I have no will to excerise either but I need a kick in the A$$ to do so because that does help.  Hang in there you are doing great.  We all hit plateaus and stalls and we all lose weight at different rates.  Keep working the tool!

Thank-you, Julie!  I feel better after venting & just a few words of encouragement.  You're looking great yourself - 

Well..... I think your great so who cares about the rest of your junk... HAHA...  TOTALLY KIDDING! Get out and walk some. Maybe just around the parking lot at lunch if nothing else. Or treat yourself to lil "celebrations" with each 5 or 10 lbs lost. Now that your losing has slowed... it wont cost you as much. As for the aches... man! A KILLER COLD has been going around here. it started with just feeling stiff, but it landed me in bed for 2 days. Drink some EMERGEN-C (if you can) BOOST YOURSELF UP THATS FOR SURE!!!  I think you just might be my hero (100 lbs lost in less than 4 months) and I adore you so KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!! and keep praying for me!

My gosh, girl - you know how to humble a person... You are such a sweetheart & such a great supporter.  Thank-you & whatever you do - DON'T CHANGE!  Take care of yourself and that beautiful family of yours -
