I guess I just need to hear it... (Pic)

My weight loss has been steady up until last month. I am literally stuck. 17 lbs away from my goal weight. I believe that I've done all that I'm supposed to do (protein, portion control, exercise, etc.) I've heard that the last 20 or so lbs are the hardest to lose. I know that I may be "jumping the gun" on this but I am shocked (and a bit flustered) by the weight stand-still even though I'm only two months away from reaching my ONEderland.

I guess I just need to either hear that:

A.) It's normal

B.) Calm down and take a deep breath

C.) Keep doing what you're doing or

D.) All of the above.

Thank you for reading my rant. 

Here's a B&A pic of the progress thus far: (Left: taken in 2010 @ 338lbs, Right: taken August 2012 @ 242 lbs)

Your doing Great !!!

And you look Great !!!

I'd say D.) All the above (for a couple weeks)

If your still stuck...... you might have to choose E.) like I had to do.......

 

E.) Get old school ugly and cut back on the cals and increase cardio, keeping protein and fluids up.....and carbs waaayyy low (under 40)

Thanks Frisco,

I'll watch that carefully. I'll definitely keep Old School Ugly on speed dial,

You probably just need to shock your system to get it sparked again.  Honestly, you look great!!

You're doing great buddy. Wouldn't really worry about it too much but if all else fails then follow Frisco's plan E. LOL :)

Thanks Ryan,

I'll definitely keep that E.) option open. But for now, I'm trying to do D.) All of the above. At least for the next month.
