The First Plateau

Hi Everyone!  It seems I have hit my first plateau.  I am holding at 216 for the 3rd week now.  I am not discouraged or anything, as my clothes are getting more loose with each passing week.  I am sure after 93 pounds my body needs to readjust.  But I am curious, how long did your plateau's last, and did you do anything to try and speed it up?   I vary my calorie intake daily to keep the metabolism guessing (between 800-1100/daily), and I am working out twice a day, so I know I am doing everything right...this was bound to happen!!  LOL  Any thoughts are appreciated!  Thanks!  :)

Ahhh it is inevitable for sure... I have had the stalls last as long as 4 to 5 weeks. Hang in there, it'll happen.. the scale will move again.
be sure you are getting in all your liquids. Try upping them a bit, and maybe increase your protein a bit. These 2 things can help get the scale moving along again. Also try to shake up your exercise routine..
This too shall pass! Keep up the great work!

This is exactly why I love support from sites like this, I hadnt even thought to increase my protien...I am in the mindset, "I met the goal today so I am done."  But maybe if I did 10 grams more and drank more water it would help.  Thanks again!  Like I said, I am not worried...I had a loss for 25 weeks straight, I am not allowed to complain!!!

Hang in there Jennifer, you know that plateau's are part of this challenge.  The clothes fit is important too while your body catches up with the changes.  You are right to keep your body guessing.  This will pass, tincture of time is just needed.  Congrats on your progress to this point.  Hugs
