I've been fluctuating between 172-176 for the last three months. Can't get below 172, but the way my clothes are fitting is changing. Today, I put on a pair of size 9 juniors Levis that were my daughters -- I haven't been this size since I was in high school 40 years ago. But I'm frustrated, too. I have my 1 year check up in a week and I'm my own worst critic, so I'm concerned that my team will be disappointed.
Work the plan. It will work. Be patient. You've got this.
