Need plateau emotional support

Hi, everyone! I know this is everybody's eternal question and it's not really a question. I just need a pat on the back. I'm almost exactly 5 months out. I've lost 92 pounds. I now weigh 179 and wear a size 12. I exercise 5 days a week for an hour and a half, both cardio and weight training. I eat really well. Occasionally I have a couple bites of dessert, but just a couple and not every day. My nurse says I'm eating very well. But, tragically, the scale has moved only 1 measely pound since January began. That's almost a whole month with no weight loss. I know I'm losing inches, though I don't know for sure how many. I've kicked up my weight training and I know I'm gaining muscle but I have no means to determine how much. I know I've shrunk a whole pant size and that my 12's are getting baggy around the back side. But I'm just discouraged that the weight really has stopped moving altogether. I'm losing hair like crazy and feeling blue. I'm feeling like I'll never lose again. I know it's entirely irrational. I was just hoping you'd all say nice things and cheer me up. I'm a bit of a bummer today. Thanks everyone! You're help is much appreciated. XOXO Jen
