Hey everyone! It's been quite some time since I've posted, but I'm down right frustrated and need some opinions here. Ok...so I had my surgery in January and I hit my 6 month surgiversary...and it seems now the scale will NOT budge or it floats up and down 3 to 4 pounds. I started out at 282 and today I weighed at 190.4, Yes, I know loosing 92 pounds is a huge accomplishment, but I am once again obsessed with my scale and can't get it moving back down. I've hiked up the protein and exercise and it seems that it's still not moving. Any good ideas for a boost or a way to bust the month and a half plateau????? Thanks!

Contact your NUT... you may need changes to your nutrition. Upping protein isnt always the answer...  you *can* overeat protein... make sure you are sticking to the guidelines set forth by your NUT. A few things to look at... are you getting in all your water? Upping water can make a big difference. Are you eating balanced? Getting in fruits and veggies? If you are lacking add more fruits/veggies to your diet... especially veggies!
