Tried to look at the data-- forgot my starting and goal lol it says file not found

U look fantastib bea!!! What an inspiration.

I've been struggling a bit in that I've reached that point where the sleeve has really done it's part and now it's time for me to need to WORK for the losses. I've been a whole month with no appreciable changes, just fluctuations of 3 lbs up and down the scale. Then I pulled out two photos taken a year apart and realize that I've come a long way already. I have nothing to be discouraged about and realize that this last 25 lbs. is just going to take some patience, planning, and persistence. Here's the photos:

Holy Hot Momma! That pic is gorgeous in the blue dress! You look amazing! Daddy's a lucky guy! I know this sounds backwards but I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to look as half as amazing as u someday! Love u!

You look great Bea'

It happens- in the past couple of months I've gone back and forth the same few lbs- actually for the past 2-3 challenges--- just change it up a few days opposite of what your doing- maybe even vegan/vegetarian for a few days- the body gets used to 'your normal' stuff

I'm about 26 mo out as well!! it happens it just takes time--

Hmm...when I clicked on the link above, the one embedded in your message, it opened right up. Can someone else chip in and let us know whether you can see the file or not? I'll try to troubleshoot, but need to know if no one can see it or if only some of you are having trouble. THANKS!
