Plateau - HELP - any words of encouragment or hints...

Well, I hit my 3 month mark on Tuesday. I have been trying not to panic the past week or so, but I am STUCK!!!!! I have been at the same weight for over 1-1/2 weeks. I have lost 70 lbs so far. Everything was going great and "BAMM" into a wall. I am trying not to get discourage, but I am starting to think I went through all this and I am finished. I still have approx 160 lbs. to go. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any hints, suggestions on how to over come it? I am trying to stay posative and not give up. When eatiung is an emotional reaction - this stress is magnified with fighting that battle as well. So... please!!! I have come so far and Ijust can not ose it now.. Thank you all so much! ~Kely

Kelly, This is very typical. One day you will step on the scale and 5 pounds will be gone all at once. I'm 3 months ahead of you and I have stalled a few times. With me, the weight loss has a lot to do with what "time of the month" it is. You may even be retaining some water due to this heat. I know it's hard, but try and relax about it and trust that you are going to lose weight. Take care, Calpernia

Kelly Stalls will happen 70 pounds in 3 months your doing great just because the scale is not moveing dont mean your not loseing you are prolly loseing inches your body needs to play catch up best of luck to you Michael

Hi Kely I remember my 3 month stall very well. I thought I was going to loose my mind. If you check in with your reunion page, you'll see 90% of the people will report the same thing. Good luck Sharyn

You ar edoing great. I dropped 50 pounds in 2 months and then nothing for 3 weeks. Exercise helps get it going off again... It will start up... I am on round 2 of loosing now... 3 1/2 mo post op. I felt the same way, like I had "finished" But I was wrong! Blessings pam

I AM SO THERE!!! I have lost 70 according to my scale also... BUT>.I have not lost an ounce in a month. Unless you count the five I go back and forth between.. I AM SO freaking frustrated I could scream. So, I am there with you.. I guess its just one day at a stinking time. ha,ha
