LONGEST TIME ON A PLATEAU

Hey yall I was just wondering what is the longest time you ever spent on a plateau? I feel like I will be at 242 forever!! I lost down to 239 but then we went on a road trip to atlanta and I guess it was all that restuarant food, but I gained back up to 242 and I have not budged yet!! It makes me ill to say the least. My goal is to be under 200 by September, and at the rate its going it doesnt look like that's going to happen. I know I need to be more optimistic, but its just frustrating! So far I've lost 87 pounds of actual fat, no fluid included. 13 more to make the 100 pound mark. Well let me know so maybe that might make me feel a little better. Later crystal

GIRL, I know all too well about a long plateau, think i had the record longest! 4 mos, yep thats right i didn't loose a ounce for 4 mos, and the only thing that broke my plateau was HARD exercise, walking and going to Curves wasn't doing it for me, it will for some, i know save your emails people! hehe BUT FOR ME, it takes alot of cardio, to make those scales move! Make sure you are getting in your water, and i try to keep my calories under 1200 if i go over i don't loose even with the exercise, and YEP i can go over 1200 cals if i don****ch it, very easy for me to do this far out! DAWN~~

I have done pretty good without having alot of plateaus, BUT I didn't lose a bit for two months a month back. It's hard, but bear in mind that your body needs to readjust! Hang in there!!! smoochies Arlies
