Becky...Thank you so much for the Plateau Buster Diet information. I will definately give it a try. I am about 15 lbs from goal. But....the plastic surgeon said not to loose anymore. I am not sure if I want to do the plastic surgery. A BIG decision. For one...the cost...and also the recoup time. I guess I have to think about it some more. Thanks again. Dale

i have been on a stall for the last 2 months I am 170lbs my goal is 155 i am in a size 10/12 and i am not going any where else. need help too.

Hi Michelle Sorry about your stall Actually I haven't stayed the same weight for longer than 2 weeks since the first stall I had in months 1 & 2. If my weight doesnt change in a week I just eat more protein, calories and up my water and sure enough I will start losing weight immediately. Now that Im at a point I dont want to increas my calories any more I do cyclical calorie changes of eating 800, 1000, or 1200 calories a day for 2 - 5 days before switching it again. Hope you get to losing soon Its not over just sloooowing down for those last few pounds BIG HUGS T

This may sound crazy but I'm at 163 and delighted as all get-out. I'm exercising, getting in my water and protein and wearing a size 6. To be honest, if I never lose another pound it's well worth it and as long as I'm feeling good I am going to welcome whatever other pounds come off and just make sure none creep back on. At this point it feels like most of what's left is hanging skin...I can feel the muscle and bone underneath it but I know I'm quite a ways from thinking about PS. I'll see what the doc says next month; He set my goal at 155 then so to be within eight pounds of it isn't too bad. I still have moderate lymphaedema in my lower legs and I think that's also accounting for the extra weight. I wonder though...am I being too complacent?? I guess the doc will scold me if I am... Starting: 308 Surgery: 295 Today: 163 Goal: 155

I haven't stalled per say, but it sure is slower coming off. I'm not worried about it though. As long as it's not going back up that is what counts.
