Coming up to my 10 month anniversary

Hi everyone, I am coming up to my 10 month anniversary on the 28th. I have lost 88 pounds. I am only down to a 16/18 and I am getting frustrated. The scale has not moved in about a month or 2. I have been doing my measurements, but those have not changed either. I do 2 hours of Karate 4 times a week. I also like to run, but I have not have had the time lately, or I am too sore from Karate. Any suggestions? Thank you so much Laura

Laura, first of all congrats on the the 88 lbs loss. When before could you have lost 88 lbs in less than 10 months (or 8 months since you say you havent lost any in 2 months)?? I'm sure you know all the standard answers, up the protein, up the water, cut the carbs......but the way I broke my last plateau was to up the CALORIES!! I wasn't eating enough and my body had gone into shutdown mode. It was keeping everything I was putting in. Keep an eye on what you are eating and make sure you are making the best choices. Keep up the good work Jan P

Congrats on your 88 pound loss. I too felt like I am loosing slowly but I just realized that everyone looses at their own pace. If you follow the doctors orders it will come off.. Your doing great!!!

I've lost 87 from my highest. My surgery was 3/05/03. We're pretty close. (Were you at the marketing forum at WI****hink I saw you there?) Anyway, just keep going. Dr. Iwanicki told me that about one year there are sometimes a trend in slight increase in weight due to increase in muscle mass. Don't get discouraged. Do you go to the WISH support? I'll be there and look for you! Feel free to email: [email protected]
