8 MONTH PLATEAU

HI EVERYONE! I HAVENT EVER POSTED ON HERE JUST READ. I AM AT A PLATEAU FOR 6 WEEKS NOW....HELP!!!!!! 1/4/05 WAS MY SURGERY DATE, I HAVE LOST 78 LBS. STARTING WEIGHT WAS 287..I AM VERY GREATFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED BUT GETTING DISCOURAGED! ANY IDEALS?

Get more water in Eat lots of Protein!! That always works for me

click on my profile and towards the beginning it states how to break a plateau.

Yep, what Victoria said! Increase calories, exercize, water and protein to get your metabolism geared up. I had a month stall about three months out and thought it was all over, but after doing all of the above, I lost a lot of weight really fast. I really keep an eye on my calories to be sure I am doing more than the 500 to 800 calories I only want to eat! Good luck and, Hugs! Jacqui 288/182.5/150

Hi Sandy, Ditto what everyones else has suggested, also reduce the sodium intake to as low as possible.
