Don't get me wrong I am very happy with what I have lost so far (112 lbs) I have about 45 more to go....just worried that I am done losing,don't know how to break this plateau? which I hope is what I am on?lol ..... thank you for letting me vent lol! Happy Mommys Day to all u mommys out there! Helen

Hi Helen! I was 1 year PO yesterday and am coming up with the same problems you are. Last month I did not lose a pound, and had actually gained like 2 pounds through the month. This month I lost 3 pounds which is the smallest I have lost aside from the month when I lost nothing. I wonder if the weather has something to do with it, I know I retain H2O when it is warmer, and because we are further out, closer to our goal I know it is supposed to be harder. I have 13 more to go to have a BMI in the "Normal" range, and would love to lose 20 more to put me within my surgeon's goal, in the 120's. I hope with the warm weather and the end of school for me for the summer, I can get more active and peel off the last of what I want to lose. For both our sakes, I sure hope this is not the end of the loss for us! Jeanette Lap RNY 5-9-03 264/149/136

Helen, I can relate! I'm coming up on my 1 year in two weeks and have not moved in weight loss since March. I've maintained, but stuck between 208 - 210. Depending on if Dear AF is here. A lady in our group just had her plastic surgery and she lost another 15lbs in her thighs, 10lbs in her abdomen and 10lbs between her arms. Theres our final weightloss. I wonder if we aren't where we should be - if we didn't have to carry around some of this extra. Still toning to be done, I know. But I'm looking to have a baby and so I figure after I stretch my tummy all out, then I'll have plastic surgery. Chin up. We've done good!

Helen I am totally with you! I am a teacher and am counting my 14 days down! I can't wait to open our pool and get my flabby self out there and tone up! Looking forward to swimsuit & shorts season! Jeanette Lap RNY 5-9-03 264/149/136

Helen, Pound down the protein shakes, water and walk walk walk. This is a proven plateau breaker. No carbs. Stay away from breads, potatoes and crackers. Best wishes. Don't worry. Everyone hits plateaus. Missy
