Congratulations on your wonderful progress so far! No matter how much you still have left, you have the perspective of a Triple Digit Clubber. While any weight loss is difficult, for those of us that have a lot to lose, that will take a long-term commitment to attain (and then maintain), it's different. The ups and downs - sure, pretty much everyone has those, whether you have 10 or 100 to lose; but when you have worked so hard, and lost 40 or so pounds, which is TERRIFIC, and you hit a month-long plateau, and you still have so far left to go, the mentality, the fortitude and the determination to keep going is unique to those who have so much more to lose. The success stories, and motivational stories, and the before/after photos are so inspirational, because they show people like me that indeed, people like me CAN succeed. This is such a valuable resource. Again - congratulations on your progress!!!
