    This post could not have come at a better time!!! I have lost 50lbs so far and I need to lose about 30 – 40 more. I feel like I am stuck and I can’t help but get frustrated. Ugh. I printed out your plateau busting suggestions! Thank you!

    When I did ww successfully a few years ago and lost around 75 pounds, I hit a plateau. My goal weight was 145 and I got to 153 and could not make the scale budge.

    Sadly, I gave up and told myself I was meant to be fat forever and gained alllll the weight back plus some. *headdesk*

    Now I’m kind of stuck, not a plateau per se but a kind of mental block. I have an appointment with a counselor here at school. I’ve had success previously with counseling and my weight loss, so I figured it was time to get back on that.

    I think as time goes on, I’m learning more and more what my triggers are, what my motivators are, and what resources usually help me. I just have to take that first step and take action.

    As for a plateau, since I’ve never succesfully gotten past one, I have no words of wisdom there. 😀

      Knowing what triggers are and avoiding them can make a world of difference!
