0.4 pounds lost in the past 7 days, 55 pounds total in 11 weeks!
I’ve finally reached the infamous “weight loss plateau.” I’ve been warned about it by countless people through e-mail and comments and it has finally arrived.
This is an opportunity to reflect on my lifestyle, eliminate any remaining unhealthy habits, tighten my diet, and boost my levels physical intensity. I’ve lost 55 pounds in 11 weeks and want to lose another 45 pounds by July 26 (birthday).
I’m not even slightly discouraged. I have absolutely no desire to sulk or feel sorry for myself. If my body thinks it can quit it has another thing coming.
I’m writing up a plan to escape this plateau targeting my diet, physical activity, lifestyle — all need to be revamped. I’ll post when it’s done. Also, I’ll update this post with my video progress later on this evening.

Hey there!
I found you from Jason’ MY ANgle blog) Great job!! IT has taken me 7 months to lose 49 lbs! I gotta go and read the rest of your blog to see what youa re doing to lose it in 11 weeks!!
As for the plateau…are you eating enough!!!
I’m curious about your attitude more than your habits – how do you maintain your upbeat outlook? I don’t see you struggling to maintain optimism or getting down about the difficulties you face. Is that a learned behavior, determined doggedness, or you putting on a face for us?
