I have not weighed myself since 8/7/00. Did not buy a scale because I knew that I would weigh myself constantly! Have appt on 9/14, so I will get weighed then, hopefully I have gone down. Wishing the same for you. :0) Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Tina LOL I have more plateaus these days then losses but yes its normal but everyone is different. The best thing is to review where you are during a plateau. Ie have you just lost a lot of weight, are you watching your carbs, is it time to exercise or take it to a new level of endurance? Are you drinking alot of soda, enough water? getting lots of protein? Are you at " goal " weight? things like that. Hang in there & keep moving.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Tina, I had my first plateau at 2 weeks and another at 4 weeks and another at12 weeks. My body seems to want to hold on, Heaven help me!! But it is catching up. They seem to last forever, but then I drop 5-10 lbs in a few days. It drives me nuts so I try to stay off the scale. I have kept up my water and exercise and also have gotten a protein drink so I don't have to worry about that. Sandy A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2000 Report Share Posted September 9, 2000 Hi, I have hit plateaus at 2 months -- 5 months-- and 8months...for me I think my body just needs to catch up with itself..... If I increase my exercise it seems to work for me..... I have been at the same weight for most of the month.... My kids started school Thursday... so did I ...with them at 2 different schools and me working at a third... plus 2 of my employees quit at last minute...(valid reasons) but I only have 5... Aldo 1 is starting late because of serious illness with her grandchild.... My cook never showed up on Friday.... So needless to say I have been running around like a crazy person.....BUT I actually lost 2 pounds after 2 days of school... I guess that was my jump-start..... We all all different and just remember that snd don't get discouraged.... cheryl Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two and keep away from children.

If I stay the same.. no biggie,,, but if I have gained..even a pound... it gives me a reality check ... I guess it's like a false willpower..... there are 2 things you can never take from me !!!! my scale and my coffee LOL cheryl Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two and keep away from children.
