Major Stall!! HELP HELP PLEASE!!

I have had some stalls, many of times but it just seems like everything is stopping. Please give me hope! Or Help! I started at 296 and down to 201 which is Great I know but I want to break that 200 mark! I want to be in Onederland Seems like I have been playing with the last 5 pounds for a month now! I make sure I get my protein, I do a protein shake each month and I did add another scoop so I am getting 48 Grams there and trying to get some from food as well, I drink plent of fluids though most of it is Sugar Free hot cocoa, is that a problem you think? I did have all my blood work done and doc said everything looks great, but I cant seem to find anything that I can really eat that I like I do a salad probably every day, I need idea's PLEASE! Also looking for someone that would help me daily with an exercise plan, incentive? someone I need to answer to about what I did?? Anyone want to join me? Anyone else out there feeling how I do?

I'll be honest Cathy-- I don't think the salad's actually helping you much. You have a limited number of calories to consume a day, so you want them to work for you-- and while an occasional salad provides water and roughage, it's not nutrient- dense, you know? It takes up much space, but offers little of the things you most need, like protein. Use FitDay.com or a similar program and chart what you consume daily. It'll help you keep a better handle on what you're actually taking in, balance-wise. You may be undereating, actually. Also-- you are losing MUCH faster than the average, and have been all along. Sometimes, that catches up to you and you sit a while....plus your body re-arranges during these times. Enjoy your added mobility, get exercise, do good things for your body, and see what happens!

Hi Cathy, I've lost kind of like you. I'm also in a holding pattern. I think my body and my mind need a weight loss break. I've lost 100 lbs since my pre diet in May. That is a lot of weight. I'm back to my exercise but I'm behind on my water. I want to focus more on doing the right things. I've reviewed my packet from the doctor and looking at the nutrition, water etc. I need to be sure I'm following it because I've kind of slipped. I just went to my six month visit and they mentioned that instead of loosing like a step hill it will look more like a stair. Plateau loss plateau loss...etc. One thing I have noticed is my skin is looking a little better, well some of it is anyway. I know you want that milestone of onderland it will be here soon. Best wishes. Heidi
