Deep breath.

Give your body a chance to catch up. Keep exercising and eating right.

You are gaining muscle too.

Hide your scale for a few weeks.

Keep a journal about how you feel and how your clothes feel on your body. Pay

less attention to the numbers on the scale. This may help you to focus on

keeping your body and mind healthy.

Good luck.

I am also at a plateau for about 2 or 3 weeks now. The thing is I know what I

need to do...increase the protein and calories and exercise and that will

probably bust it, but I am having a hard time finding the motivation to do so.

Now especially, I need to do all of the above because I am having surgery on my

shoulder on Friday for a torn rotator cuff.

I know my body will need the extra protein and the exercise will help me heal in

the long run, but I am getting worried about this surgery. I won't be able to

take most of the effective pain meds after the surgery and I am hoping against

hope that the pain is very minimal afterwards, but when they go screwing the

muscle into the bone, I am sure it is going to hurt more afterwards than I might

be ready for. But I also know that I need this done so that I can work out

properly once I have clearance to lift weights etc. As it is now, I have a hard

time hooking my bra and other things that we normally take for granted.

I think I am more nervous about the shoulder surgery than I was for the GBP.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Remember, this is not an easy road and

it takes patience unfortunately something we are all short of. You can do this.

I don't know what you are going through just yet. So I can't give you some

wisdom. I hope you are ok. Talk to you soon.

Here is what I have done in the past I upped my protein alot. put it in

everything you eat and drink if you can. what kind of protein do you use. I use

unjury.it comes in 4 kinds now. strawberry sherbay i think and

chocallate,vanilla, and unflavored.i put in in everything the unflaver goes well

with everything.....try that and try walking more times a day like 10 mins here

and 10 mins there it will help if it doesnt call your doctor and ask them what

else you can try....BUT PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP SO FAST OKAY...WE are all here for

you........

HAVE A GREAT DAY

Try not to get yourself down. Im not on the loser side yet but I have

started to try to lose on my own until my surgery date arrives. Try

something new. Something you haven't done before. Something you have

wanted to do and couldn't before. Walking can be so boring sometimes

especially when your not having any results. Put in your favorite cd

and turn it up dance around the room with your new you. Join a club

just something different or lots of fun to get yourself out of your

rut. Just don't get down you have much going for you now.
