Week 11 - Hello "Plataeu-sville"
I lost .2 this week. Down 8.4 lbs since I rejoined.
Like the name says I am in the middle of a big old plataeu. I looked at my card and barring one gain from that wedding weekend that I lost by the next WI I am down exactly one pound in four weeks. When I saw I was kinda stalling I made sure to really ramp up my water intake (up to 6-7 bottles of water a day now), lessen soda intake (1 diet soda a day), make all my points more well rounded (I really worked on eating more "real food this week" and less pre-processed package stuff and making it more rounded), and adding more activity. I have been progressively working the program more and more diligently as the weeks go on rather than the reverse (getting lazy with the program). I just wish the scale would move! I have about 22 or so more pounds to lose and if I have to lose it at . 2 lb increments I have to admit that is very discouraging and frustrating. I'll do it...I am commited this time...but I have to tell you it is a buzz kill. So tell me how have you broken through your plateaus? Melissa in NJ |

That's more a slow down than a plateau...
You've got it right, stick to it and it'll move! Will~ "Melissa in NJ" wrote in message ps.com... I lost .2 this week. Down 8.4 lbs since I rejoined.

Instead of a starch with dinner, I'll fix two vegetables and a salad. Audrey |

Week 11 - Hello "Plataeu-sville"
honestly I really haven't, I accepted that staying the weight I am right now
and giving WW money for the rest of my life is better than regaining. I know that sounds weird but it is how I cope with it, when I have a loss I am pleased, when I have a gain I try and figure out why. This is how I live now and I do try different things but I don't let anything freak me out anymore, if I get freaked too much I am afraid I will just quit, Lee Melissa in NJ wrote in message ps.com...

Week 11 - Hello "Plataeu-sville"
Oh Melissa! You and I are twins! I actually avoided going to my normal
weigh in today with the hopes of trying to squeeze another fraction of a pound off by tomorrow. I doubt I'll succeed, but either way, I just couldn't face going tonight. Mothers day held a world of yummy food... I at a smallllll teeny breakfast so I could have a hugeeeeee lunch. I didn't eat dinner (too full ; ) but the scale knew I pigged out. I just needed a break, you know? Anyway, upping your water I think is the major thing. I stuck to that really good the beginning of last week, but then somehow got 'too busy' to remember it. I think I am going to pay the price tomorrow at WI because of it (and my pigging out on Mother's day... hhaaa!) Anyway, I hope your plateau goes away and you make 10 next weigh in! : ) smiles!

Week 11 - Hello "Plataeu-sville"
Hi Melissa,
It's probably a little early for you to have hit a plateau. You also are still losing but just a lot slower than expected/desired rate. Here's a site about breaking through Plateaus that I found: http://www.geocities.com/dwlzquotes/breakingthrough.htm that might give you some ideas on how to get things back on track. Other thoughts: -check your portions -check for hidden calories -increase your water -increase your exercise -make sure you are having something different to eat each day for breakfast -limit your "treats" to only a couple of points a day. -swap out a fruit serving (or 2) with a veggie. Give it time. Your body may be adjusting to losing or your diet just needs to be tweaked. "Melissa in NJ" wrote in message ps.com... I lost .2 this week. Down 8.4 lbs since I rejoined.
