anyone notice

that the weight is coming off more slowly or is it just me, i know i shouldnt weigh myself every day, but hey im a scale sl**, anyways, it just seems the last month or two the weight is coming off so slowly, but heck its coming off so i shouldnt complain, but i keep freaking that ok this is it im not gonnabe losing any more im gonna be stuck at 211 for the rest of my life....anyone else get that feeling or similar? just wondering if its just me or not....lol chrissy

I'm right there with ya Christine, I'm was at 210 a couple of days ago and now have managed to gain 2 lbs.! But even with that I would rather be at 212 than 277 where I started. Hang in there, when it comes off hopefully it will stay off! I seem to plateau for about a week and then drop 4 lbs. I think it's my bodies way of arguing with me... Hang in there

I am stuck at 210lbs............... It comes off alittle at a time! I was stuck at 220 it seemed like forever.............. It will keep coming off! Just hang in there !

Slow as molasses in winter! I was stuck at 205 *forever* and finally bumped down to 201. I've been there for over two weeks now. Argh!

Chrissy, I felt the same way. I was stuck at 205 forever (6 weeks), but in the last 2 weeks have finally gotten to 195. The only noticable difference I did was to increase water. Im really terrible about drinking 64 oz a day, but with that crystal light "Sunrise" (YUMMY!) I have been able to increase it to over that amount, and it really seemed to help. Thank you for posting, because it helps so much to know we are not alone in this. I hate being a slow loser, but I guess I should stop worrying, since at no matter what rate its coming off, Im still a "loser"..Every time I plateau tho, I panic thinking the surgery failed. We'll all get thru this, together Ill be praying your plateau is broken very quickly

what is crystal light "sunrise" ? i Had surgery on 1-20-04 I went from 276 lbs to 188 lbs, but i have been stuck on 188 for about 4 weeks now... i find it really hard to drink 64oz of water a day. how long do plateau's last? and what should I do to break it? help from Albert

huggggggggggggggsssssssssssssssss thank you everyone who has replied, it is so refreshing knowing im not alone with this slooooooowwwwwwwwwww weight loss, but your all right we can sit here and support each other and help when we are getting to that uhhhhhhhhggggggg point chrissy

Hi Christine, Yes I get stuck too, especially at that lovely time of the month! But I have noticed that when I am stuck pound wise that I seem to lose the inches a lot faster! So now when I am stuck I just say to myself over and over "1 more inch lost" and I don't seem to get so bummed. I am also an every day hop on the scales person. This last week I cut out the last of my BP meds, which have a slight diuretic in them, so I have been gaining about .5# every day since then, but I know it will plateau out eventually. Hopefully tomorrow!!!! But in the meantime I am saying 1 more inch, one more inch, and tonight I put on size 14 jeans a friend gave me just to try - and I can zip them up and sit down and not turn blue!!!!!!!! Big change from size 22/24! Hang in there! SArah

YES YES YES! I am getting a little discouraged. My surgery was on 1/5. I gained half a pound last week. UGH! Carolyn

I think we are all on the same plateau, and it is getting a little upsetting. I have been stuck at 220 for 5 weeks now. aaaaaahhhhhh !!! It better move soon I am starting to watch my total fat and calorie intake and see if I can fall off this plateau and start melting again. Best of luck. Dawn
