Ready to Lose 0 Posted June 14, 2007 I'm in need of encourgement, my scale hasn't moved in a little over a month.:faint: If there is anyone who feels proper restriction, please tell me what it feels like!!! I don't overeat, but I still haven't found that 'glorious place' which I've heard others speak of (four tablespoons and their full) How long has everyone else stayed at a certain weight? I've lost almost 47 lbs since January liquid diet (which I think is wonderful) I just don't want it to stop here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edieparks 2 Posted June 14, 2007 Dear Ready, I had a plateau that lasted 4 weeks. It was so discouraging. I was keeping to about 1100 calories per day. I was walking 4 miles a day. I was even walking my dog and I go pretty slow with her because she has to smell everything... So really it was 6 miles most days. I was getting my flavored sf Water in. The girl at my gym assigned to me, told me to speed up my walking. She told me I was walking too much actually. Her suggestion to get past this plateau was to walk one fast lap and then 2 at normal speed, 1 fast lap and 2 normal speed. Sure enough within a week my scales dropped. best wishes, edie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 14, 2007 I had a lot of plateaus where I wouldn't lose at all for weeks. Do you think you need another fill? My last fill is what made me start losing again. I am eating less and craving food less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5jacks 0 Posted June 14, 2007 I'm in the same boat so far, but this is normal each month for me. I can go for 3 weeks and not lose a pound and then lose 10-12 in a week! Know it's hard but our bodies have to adjust and that takes time. 47 pounds since January is still a great accomplishment!! Plus, I just noticed that your over half way there....I'm jealous!

libra 13 Posted June 14, 2007 I've plateaued several times too and it is very difficult to get through. Try changing up your diet a bit or possibly adding something different to your exercise routine. There's always the possiblity that it could help. BTW, four tablespoons has never been enough food for me. I usually eat about a cup of food at a meal, and then two healthy Snacks per day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liberty2003 0 Posted June 14, 2007 are you exercising? I was doing 6 days a week of cardio and weights, and i was stuck @ the same weight, My doctor told me to stop doing weights so much and focus on cardio (do weights only 1-2 times a week) and ive lost 2 1/2 lbs in the last two days...
