im stuck

I am stuch and do not know why? I think I have hit one of those platues.. i am getting so frustrated. I wanna cry. I am paranoid that this will not work for me and this doesent help. How do I get through this? HELP!!!!

Me too!!! All I can say is get out the tape measure. I haven't lost a pound in 2 weeks, but I have lost 1 1/2 inches from my hips and 2 inches from my waist and 1 inch from my arms. Plus try to exercise. If your period is on it's way, that will stall you out too.

Me too as a matter of fact I have gained 2 pounds back. I was losing a poun per day but I haven't lost anything in the last week, and like I said I've gained 2 pounds back

I am on my 2nd or 3rd platuea since my surgery. While they are very frustrating, they move along & the wieght starts to come off again! This platuea has been with me for about a week & a half. The last one alsted 2 weeks! At least know this, the scale will start moving again!

I am with you. I am stuck right now also. I do not know what to do. I have only lost 1 pound in a month. What is going on. I have lost a total of 31 so far, just thought it would be better.

Hey all! Ive been there done that too! I was on a 3 week plateau! Bummer..but like someone else said, pull out the tape measure, I lost a total all around of 17 1/4 inches! So that makes me feel alot better. I am now moving again and losing about a pound a day! So it will happen! Keep your chins up and hang in there, like my dr. says if you do everything right and keep with the plan, you have no choice but to loose! Blessings all!

I'm getting a little frustrated with the scales myself...but I've dropped 3 pant sizes. So, forget the scales! JC-31.5

I have been stuck for the last 2 weeks as well! It's nice to know that I am not the only one! I have lost about 39 lbs since surgery and I have dropped 2 pant sizes but the scale has now become my enemy! I wanted so bad to be under 200 lbs by my 2 month mark but I don't see that happening!

I had surgery on 11-24 too and am down 39 lbs! I went to have a body wrap done last week and the lady said something that kind of stuck with me. She said, "If the scale said you weigh 300 lbs but you could fit in a size 6 would you care?" It's true, we are ruled by the scale and the numbers but what really matters is how we feel and how our clothes feel. I have lost 42.25" all over plus 17 5/8" from my body wrap (she measured in different spots than I normally do) so that's a total of almost 60"!!! I feel great and have gone down 2 pants sizes as well....we just have to take it one day at a time, it will happen! It's hard to not compare and I am guilty of it myself but I am learning to be patient and think about all the wonderful things I have experienced this far. It can only get better!! Plateaus are awful, I have them all the time.....but I just look forward to the next day and do my best to keep on program. My Hospital's program says PROTEIN only until you reach 75% loss of excess body weight. I am only at like 28% so I have quite awhile before I can eat anything other than protein, animal protein, no beans or anything like that. I try to keep my meals interesting and so far it's working. It's amazing how all the programs can be so different but bottom line....they all work!!
