Hi Friends, Well, I'm almost 10 months out and totally discouraged about whether I will lose any more weight. Pre-surgery, I was 282, Day of surgery 268, now 278. Yes, I am thrilled that I've lost 104 lbs since May of 2005, but I've been at a plateau now for 8 weeks. I am on day 4 of the plateau buster diet. I am drinking water (floating away). I am eating protein first (min 60 gms/day). I am not eating complex carbs (fruit only) and I am exercising at least 1 hour at a time, 4 times a week. What am I doing wrong? Am I stuck at this weight? I want to lose at least 29 more lbs to get to my goal. Any suggestions?? DianeC.

Im so happy for you,, great! keep it up! Rhonda

Hello all my November people! We all have struggles along the way. I just wanted to share mine in case someone else was going through the same thing. I have managed to gain 6 of the 119 pounds I lost back. Taking me from 210 to 216. Yes...I cried. I DON'T NEED nor do I WANT ADVICE. I'm a smart cookie and I'm going back to basics. If you are lurking and having this problem and too scared or embarassed to tell us about it...just know you are NOT alone. I know I will be just fine but it takes work. Tanya
