OMG I must have been blind not to find this message board!!!

HI GANG!! I had my surgery Jan 5th and am down 293 to 164...and struggling with a plateau since the beginning of Oct. Does our body just reach a point where it is happy or does it start fighting with us on losing that last 20 lbs. Another thing that bites is I am still considered overweight according to my BMI...am I taking this to personal...am I the only one that feels like no matter how hard you stick with just a straight protein and water intake it becomes frustrating. It is great that I can do an hour on my tread mill at 3.5 mph at a 45 degree incline since walking this time last year made me huff and puff like the little engine that could. Basiclly now I am happy to finally find a group that is at the same time line as me.......YAAA THANK YOU!!!

Phyllis, You are not alone - check out the reply's that I got to this very same question about a week ago on this board. You'll see that a lot of your brother's and sister's are in the same boat.... Barbie 281/194/170ish

You can not always go by that BMI chart.............. I am 177lbs and my doc told me not to lose anymore! You have to go with how do you feel! Hang in there hun!
