I am in a SLUMP....where are YOU at?

Codie, Plateau City has been my middle name since about month four. I've lost 98 pounds (just can't quite hit that 100 pound mark...irrrr) and wi**** were more. I look at how others have lost well over 100 pounds in the same amount of time and it just upsets me that I can't seem to do the same thing. My doctor reminded me the other day that the scale is just a number and he knows that is the hardest thing for us to remember, but to focus on what things have changed. I had insulin resistance which is now gone. He said my sleep study showed some minor bouts of sleep apnea which is now gone, and my cholesterol is now back in the normal range too. I know what he is saying is definitely more important than any number on a scale, but geez, it's such an incentive when those numbers on the scale drop! I need to focus again on my protein and hopefully that will jump start things again. Good luck to you.... Jill P. 288/190/145 9-21-04

Hi Codie! I was just in the same boat as you until this week. I was stuck at the same weight for a month with no change. Well I had to honestly re-evaluate all that I was doing and I made the changes I needed to. I am now drinking at least 100 oz. of water every day and I make sure that I have 2 protein shakes everday now too. I knew what I was doing or I should say NOT doing and I was also eating a little junk here and there too. Anyway to make a long story short, I started losing again this week and I have lost 3 lbs so far since I started drinking and eating right again. Hope this helps. Love Amybee Open RNY 9-22-04 ~103lbs.
