Plateau's

I am so happy to have popped in here tonight and found all these encouraging messages. Oh my gosh! I have been soooo depressed because I have been slowing down on my loss too. I had surgery Jan 13th and have lost 70 pounds now. I am finally under 200. But I am so happy to find out I'm not alone and that there are a lot of other "losers" out there that are around the same weight loss since January. Hang in there! These plateau's are ONLY TEMPORARY! 269/199/141

You have already lost all that weight? WOW. This is when I feel I am a slow loser. WTG!! Are you eating?

Hey Charlotte we share the same surgery date. Sounds like you are doing just fantastic.

Hello Januarys!!! I haven't written much here at all, but I know the plateau feeling. I reached my first goal about 3 weeks ago by going under 200 lbs. I am now 185, and feeling great!!! My goal weight is around 140. I am only 5'2, so I may want to go lower than that because at my support group meeting the other night my Dr. said that after 2 years we stop losing, and gain 10 to 20 lbs. back. Thats normal. I think everyone is doing GREAT! Its nice to have other Januarys to talk to... Desirae 272/185/140
