Whats happening?? HELP :-)

Ok - I went from a size 22 to a 10 now - but I have not lost any weight for about 2 1/2 months now - though I can really see a difference in my clothes - so I have been told I am losing inches - but what about what the scale says...whats happening - I need 14 more pounds to hit my goal..

First of all, you have done great! I am around 15 pounds to my goal, but I want to be under it. If I had my extra skin gone, I'd be there already. Anyway, it sounds like you're on a plateau. You should try the plateau breaking diet. I know that Tooter has it posted, but someone usually posts it at least once a week. I was stuck and followed it for five days, and the weight started moving again. You need to change something in your every day routine, more water, more protein, more exercise, more calories, do something that you're not used to doing. I average around 7 pounds a month lost, and I lose the most during the week of that time of the month. GO FIGURE!!! Anyway, keep up the good work, you'll make it, I have faith in you. D 260/165/150-140???

I just went thru the same problem. I was stuck at 160 for two months. I talked with my nutrionist and was told I was doing everything I needed food wise so I should just change up my exercise. I was doing a half hour video tape of exercise and instead of doing that I started walking 1-2 miles in its place and this week lost 4 lbs. Try changing your routine just a little to trick your body and see how that works. Good luck Heidi 267/156/147

Ok - so I am not alone - thanks so much for replying..... Heidi - I was at 267 also and my Doctors goal is 148... I will try what you two suggested - it sounds like to me that I need to put a little bit more effort in to it... Also another question is - when will the weight loss stop - I am assuming it's almost there - but my husband keeps asking, when it's going to stop.... I do believe he has issues with my weight loss.... Thanks Sonya

Congratulations Sonya...you are working your tool. I do understand how you feel...I've been stuck at 165 for a while and it use to concern me but considering I came from a size 24/26 and now wearing sizes 8-10 I have stopped stressing over the scale. I have decided this week to change my exercise routine as I believe my body has become accustomed to the program I'm doing, so to jump start my weight loss again I'm changing the exercise program and no more white foods (i.e. potatoes, crackers, etc.). Good luck on loosing that 14 pounds and I know you can do it !! Ms. Praise
