^ you look amazing!
As for me, I'm 42 pounds down and I've hit my second plateau. If my plateau was a person id punch the shit out of it. I guess 42 pounds since mid August isn't too shabby, but I've gotten accustomed to losing at least a pound a week.

Hopefully, with a lot of luck and the ability to get more people on board...I'm running the Ragnar Wasatch Back in June. Two day run, 192 miles, with two or three 12-mile legs on my part.
OH MAN. I think I can do it...

Finally off said plateau. Also 45 pounds now! Eeeee! I want to be -50 by the time Dillon's parents visit, which shouldn't be difficult. It gives me 17 days.

Congrats, Katie! And thanks.
I think I'm good where I am right now...maybe just another pound. This spring I think I want to focus on developing upper body strength. I finally feel skinny again, but oh boy, am I weak above the waist. It might be time to figure out how to do something about that.

Katie, Emily...would either/both of you be interested in running a "fitness is fun" Facebook group with me? I got into health and fitness this past summer with a couple coworkers, and since being laid off, the internet has been my primary source of peer motivation. I think it would be fun to have a group dedicated to that, for whoever to join, but I don't want to run it by myself.
NOTE: This applies to anyone else who might be interested as well.

Common sentiment where I'm concerned.

So I'm putting on muscle, and while it looks good on me, I'm not pleased that it's stalled the weight loss. Yes, I'm losing fat, but the number on the scale hasn't changed because I'm putting on muscle. I'm 100% certain that that's why my weight hasn't changed, as I haven't varied my diet, but it's still frustrating as I basically have measured my success all this time by the number on the scale. I realize that's damaging and a mistake...but still.

Today I was so worried about my huge hips that I wrapped my lower stomach to upper butt in ace bandages and now my muscles are sore as fuck. I wish I didn't have fat hips.

You don't have "fat" hips. You have womanly hips that make you curvy and beautiful and fucking FABULOUS.

I've dropped off after getting sick in December. I also don't have access to an elliptical machine now. So, I've put on a bit of weight with Christmas and my birthday and just not getting back into shape. Hopefully it warms up soon so I can do some jogging.

Sleeping in is lovely, but it does put a damper on my daily work outs. Involuntary rest day due to body demanding sleep.
