I am 5 months out and for the last month, my weight has stood still-up 2 and down 2. Is this normal? I've even raised my protein intake'

Absolutely normal! Now STEP AWAY FROM THE SCALE!!!!! Dianne

Hi Queen, I have the same experience and my Dr. said it is normal. Especially with water weight gained during the menstrual cycle. So that this situation does not work my nerves ... I don't have a scale in my house and I only weigh once a month when I go to Dr. office. Georgeann

IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE...IF YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS, IT WILL PASS...YOUR BODY NEEDS TIME TO CATCH UP AND WHEN IT DOES THE WEIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO GO...THESE ARE THE HARDEST TIMES WHEN YOU HIT A PLATEAU...IF YOU CAN JUST STAY FOCUSED AND RIDE IT OUT, YOU WILL SEE THE REWARDS. SOME PEOPLE TRY TO BUST A PLATEAU BY RAISING FLUIDS, PROTIENS AND MORE EXERCISE. MY OWN PHILOSOPHY IS KEEP DOING THE RIGHT THINGS WITHIN YOUR PROGRAM AND MOST OF ALL DO NOT PANIC, STAY FOCUSED AND THE WEIGHT WILL COME OFF, IT HAS NO WHERE ELSE TO GO BUT OFF.

Absolutely normal girl, I fluctuate daily so I try not to weight often. I try my hardest to stick to weighing on the same day and time each week for a more accurate reading. Of course I also make sure to go to the restroom before hand too! I have go to say that your recent picture is amazing! I wish I had a pretty picture like that!
