any progress, fellow plateau'ers?

Just checking in with all the other folks who are frustrated by plateaus and stalls. Anyone have any luck breaking them? As for me, still stuck, but still trying to get in 100g of protein and 100oz of water a day. But so far no budging. Mary Ellen

HI Mary Ellen.... I am still on that blasted plateau {kinda} the scale has moved for me a pound and a half this week {YEAH} But to make myself really wonder I wentwindow shopping today for cloths. I got bold and tried a size smaller than what I am use to wearing and LOW AND BEHOLD....I have came down another size. There were still a bit snugg but I could button and zipp with no problem There is still hope--this is jsut a blasted process we have to go through on this route. First it was a small plateau, then the hair loss now major plateau The pounds will come off as long as were not hurting our selfs by eating the wrong things and not exercising. I will never regret having this surgery....I got tickled today. For the first time ever I was called slim jim I looked around to see who she was talking to and it was me I have never been called that in my whole life. Sept 2 I will be 6 months out. This surgery has been a blast and I am proud to be apart of the March Maddness. Heres to blasting those plateaus apart and all of us Marcher being as slim and the BIGGEST LOSER that we can be Becky 390/377/353/305/288

Hi Mary Ellen, I finally dropped 2lbs. I hope it wasnt a fluke!!! It can get frustrating!!! Hang in there everyone!!! Michelle

Nope. Still stuck. But I got called skinny today. I loved it, but I still weigh 263 lbs. How can that be skinny? I am starting to feel cute, though. It's getting easier to say! Heidi

I just finished my third week of stalled. It's annoying. I go up a pound, down a pound, up a pound, down a pound. I called my surgeon and he's ordered bloodwork and I have to go back to a detailed diary of food. I go to him on 8/24. Meanwhile, I try not to just binge on something like I would in the "old" days. I am losing inches and sizes. Can't believe how varied the sizes are. It all depends on the brand and on the fabric. In any event, all of them are at least 4 sizes smaller than pre-surgery. Hang in there all you skinny people, we'll get through this. Cheryl

I was on a plateau for about a month and then about 2 weeks ago I lost 5 lbs in 1 week. Now I am stuck there again! Im not going to get discouraged because I guess 5 lbs in a week was pretty good. Im just getting excited about almost being at the Onederfuls!! I am at 201 and dont want to be stuck there!! Cmon...just give me 2 lbs before the end of this month!! lol

Yes, if you call 3 lbs of weight loss after this stall of almost 4 weeks. I have started exercising to kick this weight off. It did help get me out of the stall. But boy is this weight loss slowed down. It's not flying off like it used to! Melanie 232/164/130ish

yes! after dancing around betwee*****nd 200 for what seemed like forever (it was so disappointing to finally get into onederland and then be right back out the next day!) i'm finally well enough away from the dreaded 200 that hopefully i won't be seeing it again. :D it happened suddenly too, i was at 200 day before yesterday, and 196 this morning! michelle 277/196/150?

Congrats, Michelle. I'm so glad for you! Your surgery was 2 weeks after mine, and you were just a pound heavier than I was at the time,a nd you weigh 196!!! I'm so jealous!!! I'm still stuck at 220. Since mid-May. I just can't seem to budge and I've upped my protein to 100g a day, which is a ***** to maintain day in and day out. If protein isn't the number one thing in something, I don't eat it anymore. I hope I catch up to you soon! Mary Ellen

Ok, now I'm really depressed. Just had my weekly gym weigh in and I'm at 220 still. I just cannot believe this. I'm working on being 6 months out and I haven't lost since May! ARRGGHH. I'm totally depressed and it's getting harder and harder to not eat junk food. I mean, I'm not losing anything eating right, so why bother? Help! Mary Ellen
