32 day platu

Hello all I have been on this for 32 days now I guess I am through losing I have tried everything, stillmans, southbeach, atkins 1 week on each . I have not lost inches either. upped the protien and water, lowered the protein. doubled the exercise so I guess this is it for me. started at 235 I now weigh 158 and am stuck . surgery was only 7 months ago I thought I would lose more but here I am stuck. I am at that giving up point but I won't ever go back to eating the way I did before. I am just going to stick to the rules and go on fighting. Have a good day all. Stacey T

Stacy, my goal is 150 , I stared out at 244 then gained to 255 when I came home from the hospital. I weigh 172 now and wear a size 12 to a 14 and I think you're doing great !! How much more do you want to lose ? You are looking beautiful. Don't give up !! Judy

Thank you all very much I needed just what you all said. I want to weigh 126 but I will settle for 130 I guess... I just want some pretty clothes, I like nice clothes and don't want to hear people say well we could get you a tent. That is what I have had to deal with it wasn't family just some of my so called friends. Oh well that is behind me and shouln't matter. Stacey T Thank you all you are so supportive.

Don't give up. You have lost a lot and as your body gets closer to goal, it pauses to adjust to what has already been lost. Keep focusing on getting in enough protein and you will be surprised at dropping a pound now and then when you weren't expecting it. My losses have slowed down too, but I don't think I am done yet. Every once in a while I still see new low on the scales. I am in a size 8 now, so even if I am done, who cares! Joy -68

Stacey, I had my surgery 3/23/04. I have lost 110. I started at 265. I am still going. I tend to eat fruit, and yogurt, and soup for lunch. I am still very carefull. I walk all the time. I still loosing. dont get discouranged. It will come off, your body is just checking on itself. keep doing well. god bless. Iris

Stacey: DO NOT GIVE UP. STOP TRYING SO HARD. RELAX & ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR. DID YOU GET OFF THE ANTI-BIOTICS YET? HAVE YOU TALKED TO YOU DOCTOR ABOUT THE PLATEAU. MAYBE THEY NEED TO CHANGE YOU ANTI-0BIOTIC TO ANOTHER KIND. THERE PROBABLY THE REASON YOU ARE NOT LOSING RIGHT NOW. YOUR BODY IS GOING THRU CATCH UP PHASE. MY WEIGHT LOSS HAS SLOWED SOME AS WELL, BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP. YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE. STRESS WILL KEEP YOU FROM LOSING AS WELL. SO PLEASE TRY AND STOP WORRYING & i BET YOU START LOSING AGAIN. LOTS OF LOVE! mARILYN, THE BEARLADY BULLHEAD CITY, AZ
