Desperate to Break Through a Plateau: How Do I Do It?

Hello all! I am seeking input from other WLSers regarding their experience with plateauing. I had my surgery last October 19th & was thrilled to be down 105.5 lbs. in the first six months (from 317.5 to 212). But since mid April & despite eating right & exercising daily (30-45 min. of cardio a day plus weight training once or twice a week), I have only lost an additional 5 lbs!!! I am so frustrated!!! I know one can expect plateaus throughout the post wls process but this one has lasted over 6 weeks!!! Is this normal? Have others experienced this frustrating situation? How did you get through it & start to lose again? I am only 50 lbs away from my goal weight but I am now despairing of getting there. Please help!!! A Very Frustrated Maureen
