I've been MIA

I've been busy here this past month or so with the kids and trying to start my christmas shopping. Sorry I havent been around. I also fell off the wagon for a week or so during October. But I have been back into my exercising and diet for the past 3 weeks. I finally broke my plateau. I was stuck at 116 for months. I just weighed in today at 111! I think that breaking that plateau gave me renewed faith that I can do this, and it is showing. I just want to lose the last 6 pounds of my prepregnancy weight. My old jeans finally go on now, but they are still way too tight. I'm getting there!

Congrats - thats great you broke through the plateu. What did you do? How much have you lost in total? Congrats again - I am trying to get past this wacky plateu and am hoping it's not a plateu, rather it was just me not being as diligent.
Again congrats.

I was exercising 5-6 days per week and counting calories, but was stil stuck in my plateau. Then things got a little stressed around here. I was so stressed out and thats how I think I broke my plateau. Because I dont eat as much when I'm feeling down. So it must have been a change in the diet. I didnt do anything else different. When I started losing weight, I only wanted to lose 20 pounds to get back to my prepregnancy weight. I have lost 14 pounds of it. I only need to lose 6 more.Its been a slow process, with me falling off the wagon a few times, but I'm finally seeing an end in sight.
