I am on a three month stall, I have gone to 87 meetings, and only skipped
one lecture after weighing, you are not in my opinion having a plateau, I
don't think you can call it that until after six weeks or so, and as far as
advice, just keep doing what you are doing and be patient, best of luck lee

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I've posted....and I think I have hit this wall
called a "plateau". During the entire month of April I was yo-yoing the
same weight over and over. Finally in May, it started to fall off, little
by little. I was so excited! Well, Memorial Day weekend, my DH and I
went
on cruise and I thought I had gained 5 lbs. I did not count points, but I
did not pig out either. I did eat well and ate things I normally wouldn't
at home and drank a few yummy concoctions! : ) Anyway, got back and went
to WW last week and I had gained 2 pounds. Not bad, considering. Well, I
did really well this past week. Did my exercises (not as much I was doing
3
months ago, but at least 3-4 times a week) and sticking to OP (for the
most
part, but had a bad day on Monday) - other than that, did pretty well and
was pleased that I was getting into good habits again. Well, I knew that
the little scale didn't go down cuz I weigh at home (have a great WW
scale,
btw). I gained a half of a pound. Ugh. I know - this happens. Well, I
asked my leader what she suggested about a plateau and she gave me some
good
info. One was a meal plan for getting back on track (kinda like fast
track
where you only eat 20 points a day). UGH! I eat 28 currently. I did
Fast
Track in Jan and I did lose, but I've lost without starving myself also.
I
was starving doing the 20 points. Any suggestions on how to get out of
the
rut? I thought about increasing activity gradually more and more since
we're in the summer months and it would be easier. I try not to beat
myself
up over the numbers and look ahead. That's the hardest thing to do. My
DH
and I are also planning on starting a family at the end of the year. He
has
been so supportive and I told him that I wanted to join WW first and see
where I am in a year. BTW - any moms or moms to be or moms in the
planning
out there? I know I'm not gonna weigh 130 by the time I get pregnant, but
I
do want to get to onederland and then some and be healthy. I know I can.
It's not that far off, I just have to give it my best shot. Anyway, I've
been OP since December and have lost 22 pounds. I just need a push to get
me over that hump cuz I've been floating around the same numbers for too
long. It's time for me to get over it. I know it doesn't happen
overnight.
I am dedicated. I have never missed a meeting. I am human though and do
slip up and overeat from time to time. I know that's life, but maybe it's
causing me to stumble. I don't know. Any advice out there?

Thanks guys!
