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

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!
