Plateau....

I've hit a plateau.... I've been out 1 year, and I only have 20 stubborn pounds left to lose.... and I'm just not being able to do it!! Any suggestions on how I can break this plateau? Thanks!!!

i am right there with ya ..I have 30 left to go and i cannt break it at all ...So i am trying to work out more and see if that will help .....But i have no suggestions for ya sorry Laura

I am there too hanging at the same weight for the past 4 weeks and it is very frustrating!

I feel your pain. I also haven't lost anything in a month now. I'm only 10 months out and have 200 more pounds to go! So I'm really freaking out. My dietician and surgeon say to increase my calories and protein grams, and to get in more water. Maybe that will work for you....I've just started doing that so I'll let you know how it goes! Kelle

Increase your protein, your water and your calories!!!! Also increase your exercise! I'm close to my year and I'm 40 lbs from goal. You're also at the point htat the weight loss will slow down drastically!!!! Measure the inches too!!! Good luck!!! (If none of this works go back to a liquid diet for a few days....it may kick start things again) Dee Dee

Someone mentioned how well the Atkins diet or South Beach was working for pre-op...maybe you could jump start your loss with high protein/complex carbs only in the form of fruit/vegs. I'm 9 mnths out....plateauing for the last 3-4 weeks...well, I've lost 3-4 lbs. I've considered trying to get on it to get my body back in "losing" mode.
