Its really starting to get to me

Hi all I have tried so hard to keep my head up and be possitive.. but I havent lost but a couple pounds in a month... I stoped a 3 months and only lost like I said a couple pounds for the last month. I keep losing and gaining the same 4 pounds.. I am not over eating and I am getting my protein and most of my water in.. I have joined a gym and am doing an hour on the damb killer machines.. but it just is not doing anything... I am getting super bummed out. It makes me think that Im not going to lose anymore that 3 months was it for me...

Brenda: That's typical. Anytime I hit a plateau I find that I am loosing inches and not pounds. Also, you are building muscle with the exercise and muscle weighs more than fat. In the long run the weight will come off. Some people here actual say to increase your food intake and it helps. I haven't tried that so I'm not sure. Keep up the good work. Peg Miller

I do know what you are going though ..... but when you are not loosing you are loosing inches.... I have just went though a 4 week and only lost 5 pounds but i went down 3 pant size so I know that is what is going on.... hang in there and it will all work out... and about the eatting more that works too or for me it did, and I was told that by my Doc... good luck

Yep! I was there too until this morning.....I kept losing and re-gaining the same 3 pounds and then this morning I finally went below the 'stall point' and got down an extra 1.2 pounds - this had been going on since about Jan 1. I kept to the plan - 65 - 90 g of Protein everyday, good lean protein; vitamins as prescribed; 70+ oz of water each day and I know I was losing inches just not any extra pounds until today. Oh, and I walk about 45 minutes, give or take a few every day. Hang in there - watch the carbs, drink your water, do your protein, get your exercise and it will come off!!!

I feel your pain Brenda. I have been stuck for over two weeks now. I have an appointment in a month with my surgeon and was hoping to lose at least 65 pounds by then. Right now I have lost 56. I must admit that I have not been walking as much as I should be and I need to keep better track of what I am eating. I am trying to stick to three meals a day and maybe 1 snack. I am also drinking my protein and taking my vitamins.

Hey everyone, This happen to me at about 2 1/2 weeks before my 3 month check up. I would gain and lose the same 2lbs. Finally I started to lose again, I think our bodys are losing weight so fast that it almost goes into shock thinking it has to hold on the the fat because it held onto it for so long. Anyway that's what got me through it. I hope this makes sense to you all....
