Plateau's anyone????

I had one a month ago and now I seem to be hitting one. Im down 71 lbs and have noticed a pattern in my plateaus. It seems every 20lbs I plateau. I start drinking more water and keep going and then boom ... overnight Ive lost 4-6lbs. Ive done that twice now and Im 14 1/2 weeks out. Good Luck 345/274

I'm in the middle of a plateau right now and am getting very frustrated!! I'm 3 1/2 months out and am down 65 pounds. And I've been stuck there for about 2 weeks. UUURRRGGGHHH!!!! I'm not gaining but the scale isn't budging. So I'm going to up my walkig tonight and keep that blood pumping!! Thanks for the opportunity to vent!! Laura*

I have been stuck for two weeks too *sigh*. It is very frustrating but people have told me that after a long plateau you might drop like 5-10 pounds when you get out of the plateau. Man, I hope so!!! I am dying for that scale to start moving again!!! Shree

I have to say I totally understand. I'm about 64 lbs down now, and have been at this current weight for about a week and a half. But, I'm not discouraged, because I know that in the long run it's coming off, and besides it's just TOO exciting to have lost 64 lbs in the first place. That's more than what my son weighs....I've lost the weight of a child. I've decided that I'm going to have a party when I get below 200. I hope it's this weekend! Maybe I'll have another celebration when I can say that I've lost one of the Olson twins...ha ha ha. Don't get discouraged, just keeping looking towards the goal. Some great advise about the exercise and cutting out carbs. My doc advises to increase protien when hitting a plateau and to increase activity level. Good luck, Diane

I keep doing that also.
