I wanted to mention real quick the power of words and how they impact people. This week my husband really noticed my weightloss and made a comment about it. It wasn't a big comment - just something simple, but it made me feel amazing. It really was the pick me up I needed to motivate me to stick with this diet and not just settle in. I guess I wanted to share this as a reminder of how much words can mean to someone. If you notice a change in someone, take the extra second or two and let them know. You just might be the motivation they need to keep going.

Great advice. A kind word can be motivating in so many ways.
One way I've learned to think about those plateau weeks is that it is your body's way of getting used to the 'new you' so it doesn't back-slide.
When you're that close to your goal, get used to a lot of "maintaining." It's hard to consistently lose week after week when you're nearly there. And yes, I live for compliments from others about my weight! No one should be stingy with them.
Thanks for the picture of Richard. He makes me smile. Very much. :)
