Hi folks,
I've lost about 30 pounds over the last year, mainly by a combination of sensible (oh, somewhat) eating and excersize. However, I've plateaued and I have about 20-25 pounds to get to my goal weight. The extra weight I have now, I've had since 15 years ago and I know old weight comes off slower than new weight (in my experience). So, I was considering joining WW. Have others got past this plateau problem with this system? |

many have got past the plateau, but even though i am struggling with the
last 25 pounds, what i like about it is that i am not regaining what i have lost, so for that alone ww is a winning way to eat for me, welcome to the group and good luck, Lee "Rick" wrote in message .. .

Have others got past this plateau problem with this system? That's a big part of it, too. I've lost 50 pounds three times in my life and when I lose the next 20, I want to keep it off. -- ------- Golf is a good walk spoiled.- Mark Twain |

I've heard this is basically a popular myth that coincides with reality. How long you've had the weight has nothing to do with how difficult it is to get rid of (although, it is a crucial factor in wether you end up with loose skin) However... People do aquire and lose weight in a consistant order. If you got a fat stomach first, then fat thighs, then fat arms.... You'll lose weight in the reverse order (first the arms, then the thighs and then the stomach) But, here's the "coincides with reality" part.... Weightloss tends to start quick, then slows down. There's different theories (first few kilograms, very quickly lost, are water... People get less strict in their diets... The body lowers it's metabolism... develops a resistance to any diet pills.... etc.) So, yes, you will find the next few pounds harder to get rid of, but it has absolutely nothing to do with how long those pounds have been there. |

I think I've had some "indescretions" along the way as well! I have hit a plateau before at about 12 pounds lighter than I am now, when I was working out regularly, lifing, swimming, eating right, etc. I'll just keep plugging, maybe see if I can add something to my exercise routine as well. |
