lianna 3 Posted June 19, 2006 Has anyone noticed that they stall or plateau at a weight that they were previously stuck on for a while? I was stuck at 190 for a year or two and stalled out for about month when I hit 190. I also hovered at 165 for about 2 years, and am wondering if I will plateau when I get to 165. Has anyone noticed a connection between previous "setpoint weights" and stalls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marimaru 7 Posted June 19, 2006 I think that there is definately a connection. I just out of being stuck at a weight that I was at for a long time when I was younger. I think the body says "Hey! I remember this!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S@ssen@ch 745 Posted June 20, 2006 Wow, I never really thought about that. But, you know? This darn plateau that I've been stuck on for what seems like forever is exactly where I was about 15 years ago. I stayed there until I had my first child. Connection? Maybe. Definately worth asking others about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted June 20, 2006 Yes, most definitely. Previous setpoints are the only places at which I plateau, its quite bizarre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljones4521 4 Posted June 20, 2006 Lianna, Thanks for bringing this subject matter to the forefront. I have been at 200lbs for a few months now and have been trying to maintain a positive attitued. Just recently I became a little irritated and upset with my failure. However, I was at 200lbs for about 2 years prior to being banded and perhaps this is why my body has refused to budge. I was about 165lbs for 2 years and 128 for most of my teenage and young adult life (31yrs). Maybe I'll plateau at these as well. Now, how do we break the plateau? I have a fill scheduled for July 12. I am hoping this will help. I feel burning around my port, I figure this is the liquid seeping out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niki 1 Posted June 20, 2006 Hmmm... this is very interesting! I never really thought about it and related one thing to the other. I wonder, maybe our fat cells have some sort of memory and when we reach a certain weight that triggers some mechanism in our body... Lisa - you should consult your doctor about that burning sensation around your port, that doesn't seem normal at all. I don't mean to scare you but there are several cases here at LBT about port problems. niki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCBSTX 0 Posted June 20, 2006 YES! I've been thinking the same thing. 180 is my set point. I am trying everything to break the barrier. So far, nothing. My body is holding on to this weight...BIG TIME! I've been stuck for about 6 weeks. I am really focusing on nutrition and no less then 1000 calories plus the exercise. I think I might be "rounding the bend" this week. I just have a feeling. Shawn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish Girl 3 Posted June 21, 2006 I am at a plateau right now and it is the same weight I held for quite a while. It has been about 3 weeks and I am so ready to start losing again. What can we do to jump start our weight loss again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvpalmtrz 0 Posted June 21, 2006 This may seem silly but when I get "stuck" on a plateau I put myself on liquids for 2 days then mushies for 2 then slowly back to regular food. (kinda like after a fill ) this has always worked for me. just a thought! Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
