Hi Carol, I will email you the plateau buster diet, and also paste here.... (I found it on someone else's profile). I have been following this faithfully for a few days now (6?) and will weigh in on Monday. Will let everyone know how it worked.... Jennifer suggested that I go on www.fitday.com and record all my calories, and what an eye-opener that has been. I had been eating much more than I thought. Good luck, you're doing wonderful so far and will succeed in losing the rest if you stay positive and focused. I know how discouraging not losing can be, but as others have reminded me, look how far we've come! Diane

Topic: HELP many questions.... Anyone PLEASE
Good afternoon everyone. I have a few questions and i hope some of you can help. I am almost 10 month out of surgery. I have lost 103 pounds. But for the last month or so I have been up and down 2 to 3 pounds. i am going crazy. I really want to lose another 20 pounds to be really happy and reach my goal. Is this possible. What do I have to do. I went on a trip and I ate like crazy and I got really scared that I had gained like 10 pounds but when I returned home I weighed myself and noticed that I had lost another 7 pounds. I went to Cuba abd there you really have to walk alot. So that inspired me and now I started to walk every night. I just began 2 days ago. I read something about Plateau Busters and also Fitday.com. I have never heard anything about these. Can someone please explain what these are and if they can help me. My other email is [email protected]. Any help you can give me i would really appriciate it. I am desprite and I want to reach my goal. I am happy about how far I have came but you know you always want more. Everyone tells me how great i look and now they call me skinny. But I want 20 more pounds. I have gone from a size 22 to a size 10. I can even fit in a size 8 tight. So i am really happy about that. Well I'll wait to see if anyone can give me some advise. Hope your all doing well and the best of luck to you all. XOXOXOXOXOXO Carol

O.k. I guess we're all going through the same things. I am very fustrated. I am down about 103 pounds. I went on vacation and started eating but in Cuba you really have to walk alot. So when i got back i got scared that I have gained like 10 pounds. When I weighed myself I couldn't believe that i have lost 7 pounds in a week. That motivated me to start walking here. I really haven't worked out at all since my surgery. But now i go up 3 to 3 pounds then i freak stop eating and go back down. I don't know what's happening. I am happy, I went from a size 22 to a size 8 that i am now. But I still want to loose another 20 pounds. I want to know if it's possible. What is all this your all talking about the Plateau Buster. How can I find out about it. Please help me. i am starting to freak out also. I would love any help you all can give me. My email is [email protected] Please help. Thanks and congrats to all of you on your surgery and results... Carol

Topic: RE: Back to Basics
Hey Miss T!!! I am so happy that I saw your post. On Monday I made a decision to "go back to the basics" on Sept 1st, tomorrow, so that I can get back on track. The past couple of months have been very stressful and I lost touch with my journey. I have not gained any but I have been stuck at a 95lbs lost for a month or so! Many Blessings to you and please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. WE WILL MAKE IT!!!!! Blessings ~Tonya

Hi All, Well, after a couple of days on plateau buster (I won't get on the scale until next Monday) and fitday.com, I can actually see a difference. I feel different. I thought I was eating well, proteins first, then veggies. What a surprise I got after a couple of days when fitday showed that my fat intake was 55% of my daily total!! (I ate salad dressing, and I didn't realize how much cheese I eat... it's protein - right?? ) I am still exercising for about an hour every other day. I'm sorry that others are experiencing this frustration, but glad I am not alone. It's so good to be able to come here and have others offer suggestions and know they work. Diane

Hi Guys, I wanted to join in on the not moving scale. about 3-4 wks ago I was so excited that I lost like 3 lbs in a week! Well......I found them in Atlanta when we were visiting! I dont know how, I thought I was doing decent on my eating and I exercised 4 out of 10 days. Actually didnt think I was eating as much as normally. So here we are almost 2.5 wks later and they 3 lbs still wont leave me alone!!!! For the whole month I only lost 3 lbs and have normally been about 5-7 lbs avg. the past few month. I think I will be joining you on the plateau buster diet. Mostly because my addiction for carbs is getting out of control! I told myself that when we got back home that I would not eat carbs anymore just get back to basics. Its hard. I know the best thing to do would be throw out all the carbs in the house again. But how fair is that to my 4 yr old and is that just my excuse? Sooo on the positive note This week I pushed my self even harder and I ran 4 miles on mon and Wed.(this morn). Its an awsome feeling. I am amazed that my body can go that far and not just fall out on the floor! Not really complaining just wanted to let you all know that you are not alone! Leann 235/139.5-142/125 goal

Hi Christine, Thanks for your reply. I hear the same thing about melting away, but to see the scale stay the same, it's discouraging. My heart rate has been good with exercise, I'm actually mixing up the exercise a little this week at the gym and have started fitday.com again (Thanks Jennifer). I went shopping tonight because we've gotten a cold, rainy spell back east. I had to buy some dress pants for work, and I am totally amazed that I can fit into a 14W or 16 Misses. I guess the inches are going down, I'll have to stop in at Curves and weigh and measure this week. (that's where I weighed and measured to begin with!). Good luck on your plateau. This plateau buster's diet is not too bad, very high protein and lots of water, which is what I've been doing anyway, it's nice to see it in black and white though. Diane

I'm right there with you on the plateau. I have been waivering up and down within 4 lbs and I need to get things moving again. I am starting the plateau buster tomorrow (just printed it out) and I'm hoping it helps. I also am changing up my exercise...make sure you check your heart rate to see if you are working hard enough. It is so frustrating to hear people tell me I am melting away (gosh that sounds really ungrateful) but I know I'm not...I'm stuck as stuck can be. Good luck! Christine
