Breaking the plateau

I've been hard pressed to get through this one. I should be happy. I'm down 147lbs since my first consult with Dr. G last November, 102lbs since the surgery in Feb, and a whopping 166lbs since this time last year...I just feel like I should still be losing. I've upped my excercise and cut back some of the snacking (I found myself grazing) but nothing's working. Anyone else have an issue that lasted for a month or so? What did you do to break through? What did you do to help your psyche at the same time? What do you do when you're still a size that most people crave the surgery? I'm volley between the same 3lbs and have seemed to top out at 240 (I was 407 so what more can I ask?) But I still see myself as fat, fat, fat. Urgh!! Thanks for letting me vent.

I just talked to my surgeon about this last week. It seems I play with the same 2-3 pounds up and down for weeks and then BAMM I'll loose like 5 lbs overnight. He laughed and told me this was normal. He said just keep doing the right things and it'll work out. Now, here's an interesting tidbit. Every time I increase my exercise, I have to increase my calorie intake or I hit a MAJOR stall. It seems if you expend too much more than you're taking in, your body can go into starvation mode. That being said, I want to let you know I exercise 6 days a week and I exercise HARD. I hit the gym for at least an hour and sometimes over 2 hours at a time.
