SURVEY SAYS........

I was wondering at what amount of pounds lost did you have your real first plateau, that lasted at least a couple of weeks? For me, as you all know, it is right now at the 50 pound mark. I was just wondering if there is something similar amongst us or not. Mandie

My plateau was at the 45 pound mark or so-- lasted about two weeks.

Amanda, I've also been on a platau now for almost 2 weeks. I hit mine at the 55lbs mark!! Marlize

Scale has not moved for me in at least a week- I'm right at 45 pounds. Sucks, doesn't it?

Mandie I am the plateau queen. Every time I lose 10 lbs total I stall. I have lost 46 lbs post op and the scale moves up a pound down a pound but never down enough to make it less than 46. Lets see this stall has been this way for going on for almost 3 weeks. It is crappy but that is the way it is. Perhaps one day it will change but I doubt it. Hugs Pam

Hey Amanda... Everyone is probably going to hate me, but I have yet to really be on a plateau. I consistently lose between 3-7 pounds per week. I am not exactly sure why, but whatever I am doing seems to be working for me. I haven't even started a serious exercise regimen either. I am hoping to begin that in a couple of weeks when I have a few hours to kill before picking up my oldest daughter from basketball practice and going home. Maybe I need to knock on wood about the never being on a plateau yet...don't want to jinx myself! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Good Luck for tomorrow's weigh-in! Just me...Jess

DO TELL... what is your secret and what are you doing eating etc....

I hit my first real plateau at about 46 lbs. Stayed there for like a week and a half. UGH. How depressing and annoying! The scale FINALLY moved today. Hip Hip Hooray! Actually, Im a little worried that when I get up tomorrow that it will move up again. Tiffany RNY 7-26-05 365-350-299-150

Hi all, This is my first one and I don't like it or myself right now either Oh well I'll get over it and do what I said I was going to do, WORK HARDER ON THIS!!!!!! So it's at the 70 to 74 lb. mark. :wave; Cheri

I am the Plateau Queen. I lose like 2 pounds, then NOTHING for like a week or so, then I lose like 2, then NOTHING for 2 weeks. It's all good. I just lost 2 more pounds after waiting another two weeks. I am right at 200! I am almost in ONEDERLAND!!! My monthly friend is here right now, so it'll be at least a few days before I see that. My biggest plateau was at like 41 pounds.
