I have been on this plateau for over a year!!!! Doctor says that is ok, but to me, with the effort I am putting in it is definitely NOT OK! The frustration level is high yet I have tried to maintain my focus. It may be time to make some drastic changes. I will reflect on that and see what I can do. This is my one step back, time to take two steps forward!!Report Inappropriate Comment

This helps me greatly! I lost 92 pounds and in the past year have gained back 45. So the reality is I have learned some wonderful things and established many great habits. So, this helps me re-evaluate and just move forward, after all, God gave me a new day!Report Inappropriate Comment -

Well, I did lose enough weight to help me be at my optimal size using SparkPeople several years ago, but now I'm back to the original size that I was when I first started on SparkPeople. #facepalm Oops. But, I'm not going to feel bad. I've done it before and I know I can do it again.Report Inappropriate Comment -

I had been staring at this article for weeks. It was added to my daily tabs that open every day my browser was clicked, so it was always before me, waiting for me to actually read it. Today I did, and I am glad. Feel a little more encouraged about my flaws.Report Inappropriate Comment
