07 FebLarraineMGirl, I feel your pain you and I are at the same point( I ve been here for about 3 months actually)I am just below 200 wanting to reach 170. Its harder I think because we are at the HARD CORE FAT level its battling back. I did 2 miles today @ my office grounds. I will also try a intro Zumba class tonight I refuse to give up ! carry on...........larraine
07 FebxavierI know its different for everyone but I had two very long plateaus (one at around 180 and the other at 155) both times I got a small fill and immediately went back to losing about 5-6 pounds a month without any other change! Best of luck to you both!
