Slowing down

Have you noticed (or am I just imagining it?) that when many of us seem to reach the 170-180 lb mark, the weight loss slows significantly? Julie

I agree. That's where I am now (171) and have been there for about a month. Of course, I think I was stable there for a few years which is why I think I'm plateauing here. Any other ideas? Linn

I suppose that makes as much sense as anything else. I was about 165 lbs for a number of years, so maybe that's logical. I'll just hang in there! Julie 247/175/140 -72 lbs.

I am feeling the same disappointment as you are. I have been in the upper 170's for about 4 weeks and hopefully it will start coming off a liitle faster soon. I think it's just that plateau thing. We'll all get there soon. Joanne

I still have over 20 lbs to go before hitting that mark. I was amazed to have lost 6 or 7 lbs last week (a new high for me). Wondered what I did differently, but have no idea.

It sure seems like it. I've been parked at 171 for 2 weeks this thursday. I had a three week stall last month. I'm hoping I'll drop another 3-5 lbs next week during my period. It seems that is when I loose all my weight for the month. Debbie

I slowed down at 215. I am now 210 and it took me 2 months to get those 5 lbs off! I just got back from my trip and GAINED 3 lbs! Hopefully it is water or muscle gain. Did a ton of walking but also grazed on sf candy and cookies. So I am trying to get back on track.

yup....unfortunately, I'm STUCK again too! I'm at 179 and have been for 3 or 4 weeks.....grrrrrrr Of course, for the last week, I haven't been doing too well on my eating habits, either. Nothing sounds good to me, so I haven't been eating balanced meals...just bites here and there, and I know that is not good for me. I VOW TO DO BETTER!! Sherri C 242/179/140 -63 RNY 2/16/04
