Topic: RE: OMG PLATEAU HELP ME
I've been at the same weight for 5 weeks! I exercise 4-5 days a week 1hr+, I drink my water, and I eat/drink 80+ grams of protein a day!! Yes I was getting really concerned but then noticed I can pull my size 12 jeans right off w/o unzipping them. My body is still changing and the scale will catch up with me later!! I can only think positive at this point.....I'M DONE with feeling depressed about it. It wasn't helping me....although two weeks ago I was so so miserable!! I can't wait for the day I can post that my plateau has been busted!!
Best Wishes to ya!!!!!!!!
Trying to stay calm,

Best piece of advice about plateaus...stay off the scale and you won't know you're having them!!!
The scale is evil, the scale messes with your head, the scale should be thrown out the window.
What matters is that we are working our program, eating, right, learning new habits, exercising and working our tool. If we do those things...the weight WILL come off and our clothes will need to be replaced. The number means nothing...you will just make yourself nuts.
I speak from experience.

Topic: Thank God the scale is moving again!
Hey everyone! How are things going for y'all. I have been getting worried that I messed up my pouch, cause the scale hasn't moved and if it did it went up instead of down! The past week I finally got back down to what I was the first of the month and finally yesterday I dropped 2 lbs and today I dropped another 2! So I am offically down 117 lbs. I would have been okay with staying the wieght I am but I still feel huge! One of my students last week in afterschool told me I have lots of fat! It was funny, but I just reminded me how I need to get back on track and start going back to the basics in my eating and start excercising! I hope y'all are doing good! Have a great Sunday evening!

I sooooooo know where you're coming from....I asked my doc about plateaus and he said that the weight loss gradually slows down as you get closer to your goal. In the beginning I was losing around 10 pds a week then it dropped to 7 the 5 now its 2 or 3. PMS week I NEVER lose!!! But when I'm done I've lost like 3-4 pds. Just keep up what your doing and you'll be fine... it's very annoying though!!!
Take Care.

try to put on clothes that are more form fitting too.........sometimes we have been so used to hiding in our clothes....and all of a sudden when you see a nice shape rather than that tent effect....it can make a big difference in your attitude.......take a walk and enjoy the sun.........! hug rae

Hi Julie
It's kind of early for us to plateau, but stalls are very common. I had a bad stall last month and my dr told me I wasn't eating enough. I had to up my calorie intake from 700-800 to over 1000 and it worked. If we don't eat enough then our bodies will go into starvation mode, storing fat and not allowing us to lose the weight. If you are drinking enogh****er, getting enough protein and exerciing than this should work for you
