Haven't lost any weight in over 2 Months!!!!!!

Ok, What the heck is going on. I have not lost any weight or inches in over 2 months. Is my weight loss done??? Anybody else experience a 2 months plateau. If so, Please tell me what you did to break through it. Saturday I started going to the gym and I spent at least 1 hour there. For the next 14 days I'm going to only eat protien and see if that works. No bread, pasta, fruit, or juice. My start weight was 287 and I had my surgery on April 18, 2005. To date I weigh 210 and cannot get another pound off. I look at other people who started at the same weight I started at and they are closer to a 100 pounds loss. Why can't I be like them. Somebody out there who is 6 months out and experiencing the same as me please write me back with some words of encouragement. I've posted on this board before and you guys always seem to help. Do you know of a for sure plateau buster that works. At this point I'm willing to try anything.

Don't despair! Looks like many of us, including myself, slammed into the 5-6 month postop brick wall. I have started losing again this week and so have some others. Hopefully your turn will start tomorrow. Don't lose hope or give up and eat cookies (like I did!). Best of luck! Lynda

It happens even to the best of us. Plataues are inevitable no matter how much we hate them. dont give up and get discouraged. just try mixing things up in your routine. sometimes eating a little more can do it. just be careful what that something more is. try to avoid all the bad foods. try eating some turkey or beef jerkey to up your protein a little and to add some variety. sometimes that is really all it takes. keep up the good work. YOU CAN DO IT! anita b. 420/296/200 someday soon hopefully

Im with you. Its been months since I saw much movement and Im down 55lbs. I think no carbs and all dense protein might help, but I hate doing that because you get constipated. If you find out the secret, please let me know. hugs from down under Helen

Neither have I -- it is very frustrating. Grrrrrrrrrr FeistyEmm

Hey, you are going to pass me up....... I have only lost 50 total and part of it was before surgery..........LOL. I exercise, and don't cheat! So hang in there, you are doing great! natalie

i hate these plateaus,, i am in the same boat,, i have been stalled or plateaued for the last two months,, i have lost 58-60 lbs - those last two keep jumping back and forth,, but i really havent lost anything since last month,, i hope i am not finished because i really want to lose another 35-40 lbs,,

Weren't we all in this same place a few months ago, also? I have only lost 2 pounds in the past three weeks and yes, it is frustrating. I am now 7 pounds from goal, so I guess the slow weight loss is to be expected. Best of luck to ALL of us April babies. Judy

i am having the same trouble this month too. as frustrating as it is maybe it is normal as we are all going through the same thing. hang in there. i have gone back to the higher protein too and changed some of my exercising around too. finally after a week and a half i have a half of a pound off. maybe the weight loss will be slower now. good to have support from this web site.

Wow I was sitting here thinking I was the only one. Since October I swear the scale has not moved..At least its not just me.. lots of luck Alice
