Have you tried upping your water as well? I was on a plateau for nearly 2 months but on Monday I started drinking well over 100oz a day (usually about 120oz) and the scale finally moved down 3 lbs yesterday when I weighed in!! I'm sure it'll pick up again, you'll get there! Also remember that you may be burning fat and building muscle (which weighs more than fat) .. keep up the good work! Lisa

I started out at 236. 3x shirts and 2x (stretchy pants/skirts). I am at 160 wearing any where between 10 and 14. I have been bouncing between 165 and 160. To be perfectly honest...I don't exercise (can't seem to find the time) and have been "cheating" and know I need to chill if I want to lose anymore. Actually I don't know if losing another 30 lbs suits me. I look like a crack head now!!! I LIKE BEING A LOSER but I want to control my pace a little bit.

Hi, my name's Laura. I had my surgery June 21st of last year. My 11 months is May 21st, so I've decided to celebrate it by competing in a triathlon. It's not those huge ironmans, but it's a start. I've been training 6 days a week for it, and can't believe the improvement I've seen! I'm currently down 110 lbs, have MAYBE 5 more to go. That's not including some extra, annoying skin that I'll probably have removed in the next year. That's another 5 lbs, I'll betcha. Last year I was 270lbs, now I'm down to 160, and I've become a bicycling geek. The swim portion of the triathlon has me panicked, because I've never swam with people before, but it's the first event, so I'll get it over with quickly. I'm a little creeped out by the fact that I'm enjoying running. I never enjoyed running before! It was always torture! Creepy. I have more energy that I know what to do with. I'm like a smurf on expresso. My poor partner can't keep up with me, so I've been SHOVED out of the house with stern instructions to "go work out and don't come back til you're tired!" I can't belive the difference this year had made. I started in 44 jeans (men's size), now I'm down to 31. That's a 10 in women's, isn't it? So I was a 24 or 26 I think before surgery. The worst part is my bra size. I started in a 44DD. The other day, I bought a bra that fits, and it's a 36B. A 'B'!!! Those can stop shrinking now, thank you very much. Of course, I'm also fighting major plateaus, since I'm so close to my goal weight. I'd like to just hurry up and lose those last 5 or 10 lbs, and call it done! I think a good portion of you know what I mean, because this is annoying! I plateau for a month or so, drop 5 lbs, plateau another month, drop 5 lbs. ERGH!! Anyway, wish me luck, I have less than a month to go, then I'll be competing against those skinny, athletic women who have been doing this for years, and I'm determined to kick the patootie of at least ONE of them!

As of today I can literally say I've lost HALF the person I used to be. I've lost 138 pounds and I weigh 138 pounds. Amazing! And to think it's only been 10 1/2 months. Wow! What a great experience this has been, and it's not over yet. Terry Coles 276/138/130 someday soon

Hi Beth, I went through the same thing, but my plateau lasted from December through March, I'd go up and down the same 2 lbs and finally I have started to lose lbs again. During this time I too lost inches though. In January I began exercising 4-6 days a week. I have just started losing again and lost 4 lbs. Hang in there and continue to do the right things, you'll get there. Terri
