Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Just to elaborate, I am the queen of plateaus, but I just broke a plateau starting a week ago. Between 5/20 and 6/20, I lost a total of 5lbs and was on a plateau for three weeks of that time. But last week, I went from 214 to 207, so when my plateaus break, they break big. I will be hitting the water, protein and exercise really hard to reach 195 by my birthday on 7/25. I haven't been under 200lbs since puberty, so I am really looking forward to this.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Marina, Great job!!!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hi Marina Yup, I can relate! I plateaud for 2 weeks beginning only 2 weeks out of surgery. Then I lost about 15 lbs for the next 2 weeks and then have been on a plateau again for the last 2 weeks. So about 50% of the time since surgery, I've been plateauing. VERY frustrating...
