Yesterday when I hit the scales (I weigh in about once a week) I found that I was at 193! WooHoo! Only 4 lbs away from the 180's! That brings my total weightloss up to 44lbs.
Roland reminded me that when he lost 40 lbs he hit a plateau for about 3 weeks and then finally the weight loss resumed. So, if any of you hit that plateau hang in there! Don't give up!

For dinner last night I made this green bean stir fry that was delicious! Margaret, the author of the recipe, is in our Green Goddess group. I cut the sugar out and only used half the sesame oil and it was good. I served it with a big salad, brown rice, and grapes.

That's terrific!
That's fantastic! How do you continue on without getting impatient and throwing in the towel? I had three weeks in a row when I only lost .2 lbs and then I struggled with eating a bunch of snacks at work because I gave into my discouragement.
I guess part of the problem is that I don't feel very different eating the ETL way. I already exercised regularly and ate an almost vegetarian diet with mostly real food. I didn't experience any surge of healthy feelings or energy, and my motivation to continue is waning as I see my family eating pop tarts....
Robin-I am so happy for you! I found myself in the same situation three weeks ago. The scale would not budge. I called Sally in tears(I know pathetic huh)-this week the weight is dropping off. It is hard not to feel discouraged. Thank you for this great blog. I look forward to it everyday!
