Ugh! I have plateaued!

[KimK813 2]

I have had small plateaus before, but this one is getting ridiculous! I still work out like I have been, tried to watch what I am eating, but I am maintaining, not loosing! Any suggestions! This is very frustrating!

Good luck, everyone!

I ate more for a few days and started dropping weight again. I change in what you are doing seems to help. I also missed two days of work outs during this time.

The closer you get to goal, the slower it comes off. The real "Bandster Hell" isn't that time between liquid diet and first fill it's trying to get off that last 20-30 pounds! I lost 115 the first year. It's taken me 2 1/2 years to take off another 35. I still have about 12 to go. You just have to persevere and be patient! I know it sucks, but it's the way it works for most of us! You've lost 70+ pounds in a year. That's great! Just keep doing what you have been and it will come off in time!

After loosing a lot of weight, I purchased a new pr of Levi's. They fit a little tight, but I knew they would be fine.

After this, I had plateaued big time, not really loosing much, actually fluctuating up and down but always same average.

Very frustrating.

But I kept with my routine, worked out every day, etc.

Put on those tight jeans, and found they are too big!!! Only wore them twice before!!

So, even though I did not loose weight, something else positive was going on.

Also, I agree with the premise that the less you have to loose, the harder it gets.

I have been on a plateau damn near a month, but part of that was my fault with my eating habits. The best thing to do is shake up your exercise routine. I've enrolled in this 5 week bootcamp and already lost 4 lbs. Also, remember to get in your Protein and drink lots of water! GOOD LUCK!

I've been at the same weight for the past month too. It truly sucks, but I know I'm doing things right and I am trying to work on body fat during this time. Doing heavy weights once a week til my muscles give out. DOing that for 3 weeks now, may be inhibiting the scale. But I'm sure it will start moving soon, for both of us.

Some good advice already in the posts above. Just stay strong and remind yourself why you are on this journey. Good things come to those who wait!

Exercise yes, but food intake is crucial! Lower your calorie intake and write down every bite of food that goes in your mouth instead of "trying to watch what you eat". No fun, however it usually works. Best of luck. I wish I was that close to my goal!! Congratulations on your amazing weight loss thus far!

Sooooooo true my friend!

I'll say platues suck alright! I was on one for 3 months, but I went down 3 pant sizes during those months, so really the body does not like being jacked with, i think of it as a delayed reaction to a joke, (a really quick witted joke) the point between saying it and the moment the person laughs....such as "why does the Avon lady walk funny?"......"Because her lipstick"! Get it? that is kinda what the body is during a platue.....thinking about it! Now I don't know if this analogy will help you, (pause) but I hope so......P.S. Always follow the rules( i knew you knew that)!
