running out of steam

hey all augusters. i need some help. im down 90some odd pounds since 8-15-06. i am having one heck of a time getting motivated this summer. i started out at 301 (im 5'8") and BMI of 47. I'm down to 210ish, with a BMI of like, 33 or something. i have tried the plataeu buster thing, and havent felt like it worked. since i didnt lose any weight. what are your ideas?

Are you logging your food and liquid intake? If not, please consider doing so for a week or so to see what you're actually eating. If you are doing so already, where do you fall calorie wise? You may not be eating enough to keep your body out of starvation mode. And, if you are not getting enough liquids, that will hinder your progress too. It sometimes is just that simple! How do you feel? Do you have any energy or are you tired a lot? Had any blood work done to see where you stand on that front? How's your thyroid function? Getting motivated to exercise more here this summer... It sure ain't easy after years of not exercising either because I chose not to or later because I was unable to.... UGH! Having started out at 410, it took much longer to get to that point where exercising was comfortable to do... Hugs, Lea

I feel ya....I started at 228 and have been going between 168 & 162 since last November... I drink protein twice a day and snack maybe too much on baked snacks....not sure what else to do to get the scale moving...well I know I should work out I need that so bad but I think my B12 and iron levels may be down...Im going to my PCP this week to have that checked. Good luck Misty!

My surgery was 8/23 @ 370. I am hovering (stalled) at 210-213 for about a month now. Looking for something to get it rolling again.

Wow you guys are far beyond where I am, but I started at 470 also. What is a plateau buster? I have not lost anything in about a month now, its sooooo frustrating!!!!!

I am having the same problem. Can you tell me what the plataeu buster is?
