Ruthie, been thinking about your plateau a lot. Some random thoughts: Last time in WW, I set my goal at 145. What happened? I stopped right there. I do not know why but it set a mental block in my mind that anything past that was not achievable. (You know they always say it's just the 'lifetime' goal but you can go further if you want). So this time they also wanted to set 145, but I asked them to make my LT 141 :-) Just figured once I get there I'll need that extra push. So here I started at 170, I'm currently at ~162, feel way better although NOWHERE near how I feel when I"m at LT goal. After reading your thoughts, I thought about myself. So for me what's the diff between 145 and 135 that might give me my own internal push to hit the next 'goal'? I think 145 to me means somewhere between a 10 and a 12. 135 would mean a solid 10! So for me, to push myself past that mental wall, I am going to set a size goal and not a weight goal. That way my mind wont play tricks on my weight!!! Ruthie, hope my random thoughts help you to evaluate what type of 'goal' you can define that will mean the difference of getting past the wall. I mean "passing 145" isnt really enough of a goal - at least so far it hasnt worked for you. But maybe a size goal? Maybe a weight goal? Maybe an exercise goal? You just need a new goal!!!! Maybe a weekly goal. "By this time next week I will do ______". That way you do it in weekly increments. At least you'll have something defined to shoot for!! Hope this is helpful.

Saw the last half hour because i had book club tonight. We barely discussed he book, mostly world events. I will have to watch Survivor on demand and see how you know who won immunity.

@Jilly......We always comment on how "enhanced" the colors are. Your DH is right, = green screen. Sam has an outline....never noticed. There's sooooooooooo much going on. Sue's face looked cleaned up at one point too....then in another shot...her left temple was spotted red. Her skin is suffering. I keep looking at all the no-see-em's flea bites everyone has. Rachel has two on her right cheek.

I felt bad that Kristina wated her idol on Steven. Also her meltdown about her mom made me tear up. I was sorry to see Jawan go. The nice people almost never win. I cant stand Rizo, Sage or Savannah. Rizo was very sneaky with his fake idol. I hope he gets voted out soon. I kind of like Sophie.
