Hi Angela I hope it works for you. I am so tired of being stuck {yo-yoing up and down} My co-worker { who had the sugery almost 4 years ago} told me that this is natural. I know this is natural but still--FRUSTRATING So CONGRATS Keep up the great work Beckyalmost one year out

Hi Folks! For what it's worth lots of folks are hitting this bump in the road. I think the big mistake alot of us make is that we are not eating enough. Having things like protien shakes and bars instead of actual meals tends to starve your body and it goes into slow mode as far as losing weight. Was also stuck for about a month, then got back on track. Remember, at this stage of the "Journey" we are not going to be losing like we did when we first started. The fact that some of us are replacing the fat we had in our bodies with lean muscle also complicates things. If your not losing weight, but your clothes are still falling off you then you know something positive is happening. I see this time of our "Journey" as a bit of a trap that makes us feel like we are failing and may just drive us to find solice in things like food. Don't let it happen, just keep your eye on the ball and off the scale! You know when you are eating right by now so stick to it. If you slip, then just dust yourself off and get back on track. This is not a race, we all lose differently so just keep up the good work as we all get to our goal in good time! Be Well, Julio

My anniversary is coming on March 15...I would love to be down another 20 pounds, but I am going through that struggle of eating the wrong things. I mean it's nothing like it used to be, but I am getting nervous. Any suggestions? I am a college student who is around crappy food all of the time...can anybody suggest what I should do about that also? Thanks, Robbe

I have lost 7 pounds in the last two months and I agree that it is stressful and that I am testing the food waters too much. I am doing the same as all of you and trying to get back to basics. I am continuing to exercise, but that doesn't seem to making me lose weight like in the past. I think that I am getting in about 1500 calories a day, which seems like too much (don't slam me!) but my support group leader says that amount is fine because of the exercising. I am thinking about going down to about 1100 regardless. I don't want to start gaining, and l'd like to keep losing. It is reassuring to know that other Marchers are struggling with me. At least I feel normal. Becky

LOL I love shopping. I bought some more jeans Wed. They are 12's, I tried on 10's but they didn't want to button, but my 12's are getting loose..I don't know maybe I should have waited a while and just got the 10's in a few weeks...Oh well. I will wear the 12's till they get so loose I can't stand it... Ange 313-168-150? -145lbs in 10 1/2 months....
