Hey everyone! Ok so Im totally stuck in a rut right now, I cant seem to get past 274! I dont know what to do, I've been going to the gym about 3 times a week and i started last week working out with a personal trainer. I just cant seem to get past that 274 mark. And to make matters worse, my boyfriend just told me that our Hawaii trip has moved to November instead of January... Eeek!!! I was really hoping I'd be much smaller by the time we go. We're going with 2 other couples, and both of the other girls have had plastic surgery and lipo and stuff, so Im figuring theyre gonna look pretty decent in a bathing suit... but not me!!! Im so nervous!!! EEEK!! Anyone have any suggestions?? Help help!

Relax, keep exercising, eat a lot of protien and stop worrying!! This is for you and your BF not the skinny girls. Pretty soon the scale will drop like lead! You are doing it right!

Your weight has stalled because you are gainning muscle, good times!!! The best part of that is the muscle burns the fat faster!!! It will start again!!

You are absolutley gorgeous at any size, I bet those girls can't say that!!!

Have fun and snorkel for me!!

Yeah I guess I just need to remind myself that I just bought size 20 jeans at Old Navy, and they were the regular 20's, not the 20 plus's or whatever. So I was pretty excited about that... going from an almost 30 (those woulda fit comfortably) to a 20... thats always fun! I just guess that it bums me out cuz I seem to be losing slower than before. Im also very scared because Im coming up on my 6th month mark and people keep saying you dont lose really very much after that... so Im scared out of my mind! Thanks for yalls support!

I also think that slower losing after 6 months will help you keep it off better. (My opinion) And at that point you will be defining your curves

Maybe for some people, but not all! I think I lost a good portion of my weight in the last 6 months too!

Up your protein...that what my surgeon told me..and sure enough, I started losing again.

Hmm.. never thought that upping the protein helped in the weight loss... i could probablly drink more water too.. i probablly dont get enough liquids either.

Thanks for everyones encouragement and suggestions! yall are just seriously amazing!

In less than 6 months you've lost 91 pounds! Stop kicking yourself for slowing down and buy yourself a nice bathing suit. Show off the body that you've earned and God has given you. If those around you aren't as pleased with the healthier you, move on and find someone that is.
