Batman has always (and by always I mean, for the entire 18 years of my life...yes...even straight out of the womb) been my hero and my most favourite superhero. And you even wrote this before the whole "Dark Knight" craze. I love your blog! I bet you could guess that, anyway, considering I've been spending the past 2 weeks reading and commenting on your archives. There are a few times I've laughed out loud in the computer lab at my university and have gotten some weird stares. Thank you!

The name says it all, but at least you're warned from the beginning... There are too many good resources there to skip because of the frequent attitudes, so just put on your blinders and find the good stuff.

I lost 55 pounds in a blink. But the last twenty are just lingering, annoying me, daring me to give up. (As if!) I know how you feel! I lost 55 pounds in a blink.

You've done an amazing job so far and will continue to do so. I've been finding it helpful to look back at how much I've progressed since I first began my most sincere attempt at weight loss & internal transformation. Damn, it's been a crazy road, filled with potholes, open manholes, nosy assholes... Anyway, it's always so amazing to look back at who I was at the beginning of my adventures in body sculpting. I've still got about 100 pounds left to lose, but you know what? Screw thinking about the future! I'm chipping away at those pounds like nobody's business and that puts a smile on my face. All I need to care about is what I'm doing for my health today. I can do anything I want in the next 24 hours! When I remind myself of such things-- well, it's like you said-- E.T. suddenly appears, swaddled in his creepy little white sheet, saying "Ell iiii ooott"- and sends me flying towards the next weight loss. You'll get there! I've no doubt about it! If anyone can break through a plateau, I think it’s you! You’ve done an amazing job so far and will continue to do so.

Wonder if getting a massage would help your body release excess fluids, if that's what's going on? Even if it doesn't help, it's not like it would be a waste of time of money . . . . Good luck!

I can get it done up but it's so tight I have to walk in baby steps. Well good luck to us. Hoping you post a picture of it when you do the final try on. Good luck! And congrats, again on your accomplishments. Sounds just like me, lol. I can get it done up but it’s so tight I have to walk in baby steps. Well good luck to us.

I can just squeeze into the size 10 right now, but forget about sitting down in it. It's also so tight it shows off my front pooch, which isn't what I'd call attractive :) I'm 5'9" to give you a sense of proportion.

Again, I also have a size 10 dress I would like to fit in. What size are you now at your current weight? Pasta Queen,

You and I are basically at the same weight level, and I also have a wedding to go to, but in June. Again, I also have a size 10 dress I would like to fit in. What size are you now at your current weight?

I’ve also noticed that it’s easier in the beginning, and as you go on it gets a lot harder. For me, I usually drop out when the pounds stop descending. It’s wonderful that you have such a positive attitude! It makes sense. If the pounds stop falling, then increase the intensity of your workout. I’ve heard about HIIT before. I should look into it.

Be patient and you'll break right on through. :-) Brian Picking up the intensity of your workouts will help bust a plateau, as will adding a 20 minute walk in the evening, or cycling your calorie intake by 500 calories or so.
