I think it is a wonderful idea and I think I will have one too!!!

Hi Renee: I don't know if this will help you or not, but this is what I do. I workout at a health center. Each month I step up my routine. I add more reps not weights. And I will change a few things around if the weight slows down. I also will change the way and what I eat if my weight slows down. That always seems to help. Not bragging but I have never reached a plateau yet. And I think it is because of what I do. My weight has slowed down from time to time and that is what it is doing now. I am only losing 2 pounds a week. But I figured as long as I am losing that is alright. I went from exercising for a half an hour to now exercising 3 hours. I spread it out. I exercise at home as well. I hope this helped you out. Take Care Tammy Lap RNY 362/180/145?

Hi Celines: I say, you have been through a lot and deserve it! And so do the people that stood beside you all the way! If it is conceited then so be it! I know when I was heavy and still a little now, I put everyone a head of myself. Not anymore. We deserve to pamper ourselves from time to time and this is one of those times. My Anniversary date is Jan. 7th and I have a party all planned out already. Only the people who supported me, helped me when I needed it most, are invited. So cut loose and have some fun! Take Care Tammy

Susan I was just looking on this message board to see if anyone else has had the same problem with a long plateau. I've been on a plateau since the beginning of Oct. For some reason I can't seem to get the scales to move again. Like you I'm still proud of the weight I've lost but its so frustrating to see those scales not move for so long. Anyone have any suggestions?

I was wondering if we have to be careful with what we take for common colds, pain, acid, etc. are there any lists available in this site of what we should avoid when it comes to buy stuff over the counter?
