Sounds like you have a plan in place so don't worry about it. If the weight is

constantly up and down, have you checked to make sure the family cat isn't

attached to your leg on alternate weeks? That might explain it! Stick with it.

You'll break through. Try some different stuff at the gym. Sometimes the

variety can cause a breakthrough in the plateau.

This time I am doing it right, eating my midrange points,

excercising five days a week- except this week- and I am losing,

gaining, losing, gaining...the same three pounds over and over.

My goals this week are to move my body more outside the gym and to

drink my water. I will not allow myself any 1 point ice cream until

and unless I do those two things.

Last week's weight-166.6

This week's weight-168.6

Any words of encouragement would be greatly appriciated.

That sucks Virginia, but I know how you feel. My suggestion is to eat more!!

I did the same thing you did for about 4 months and then I started eating every

point allowed to me (Daily high in range and all AP's--but not over 4 if I

earned more than 4 a day) I have had at least a 2 pound per week loss each

week (aside from TOM) since I have been doing this.

Are you eating your activity points? As others have found, eating at the

high end of their range and eating the earned activity points (up to 4) have

really helped them.

Sounds like you have a good plan in place... exercising and drinking that

water!!

PS. What brand is the 1-point ice cream? I know I read about this before,

but I can't remember the brand. Ü

Hi Virginia,

I can relate to your problem...have been experiencing the same thing

for weeks now. My leader called it a plateau. I suspected as much,

but nothing I seemed to try differently has helped much. I Keep

gaining and losing the same 1 or 2 pounds. I guess the key word

here is " PATIENCE. " If you're following the program and doing

everything right, your body will eventually have to let go of the

weight. I know it's really frustrating, but we just got to hang in

there.

Good luck.

Drink that water!!! When you don't, your body hangs on to the wate; but

when you hydrate, it releases it. Drink up!!!!

Do you really think it is wise to use food as a reward? I worry that you

might get discouraged and eat it anyway? I know that sounds like I am being

harsh, but I really do not mean it that way, I am just asking what you

really think. It sounds like you are punishing yourself with the ice cream

and then rewarding yourself with it. I don't think that 1pt ice cream would

be putting you over the edge.

Take care and have a high point range week,

Moe

Hi Virginia,

You have gotten lots of good advice on this one. All I can add is

that you hang in there. If you truly stick with the program, it has

got to come off at some point. I am a slower loser, so I can relate.

Since you have tried the low end and the high end etc, As an after

thought have you rechecked some of the things you maybe don't measure

anymore, but guess at. Sometimes we make mistakes in this area that

are critical and don't even realize it. Doing something like this

every day, can slow us also.

best to ya...Kallie.
