NZ Quilter, I have hit a plateau also. Just keep working the plan. The weight has to let loose sometime if we just stay on plan. I lost 52 lbs during 2017, and only 9 lbs since January 2018. I only have 7 lbs to the goal weight my doctor set for me and I really, really want to get there. I, too, am trying not to be discouraged because I know if I stay on plan, the weight will come off.
