I'm going to scream!!

I know plateaus are good for you, but this is ridiculous!! I've been on one for almost a month now...being stuck at 212 it kind of upsets me that in the last month I've only lost ...maybe 10 lbs what the heck...I get my water in...I get my protein in....AARRGGHHH!!! I guess exercise could help, but I don't have time to go to a gym..nor the money and I dang sure don't want to walk in this neighborhood...it's a scary one. I guess I just needed to vent.

Don't scream. I've heard plateaus happen. If you can't get exercise outside or at a gym maybe get an exercise video and do it from home. That way you won't have to worry about your neighborhood. Maybe to jump start wt loss again try doing the carnation instant breakfast shakes for a few days, you would lose by doing them. I have faith that you will do fine. You take care and be well. Lisa J

STICK WITH IT, MS ELIZABETH ... EVEN AT 10 #s A MONTH, THAT'S 120 #s GONE FOREVER IN A YEAR. I HAVE 2 FRIENDS & 10 #s A MONTH IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE AVERAGED OVER 5 - 6 MONTHS. THEY NEVER HAD A BIG LOSS IN THE BEGINNING, SO WE ALL LOSE DIFFERENTLY. THIS TOO SHALL PASS, HONEST!!! BUT, DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON SMALLER SUCCESSES. EVERY SUCCESS IS ONE TO CELEBRATE! YOU'LL SEE IN A MONTH OR SO ... YOU'LL HIT ONE OF THOSE BIG LOSSES AGAIN! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK PS: VENTING'S GOOD; IT TUNES UP THE VOCAL CORDS!

JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING ... YOU HAVE THE BEST WEAPON TO CLEAN UP YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ... GO FOR A WALK & WHEN A BAD GUY GIVES YOU SOME LIP, JUST TELL HIM TO "BACK OFF BUD, I'M ON A *@#@*&!! PLATEAU". WHEN HE ASKS WHAT THAT IS, TELL HIM, "IT'S LIKE PMS ON STEROIDS!!!!!!!!" EVEN BAD GUYS CRINGE AT THE PMS THING! THEN WE SEE, "CITIZEN OF THE YEAR" FOR CLEARING OUT THE BAD GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST JOKING, OF COURSE ... HOPE I GOT A SMILE OUT OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

You are doing great...you lost a lot the first month...I lost 29 pounds the first month, the second month 9 pounds...and today is three month's down 8.8...I only have another 54 pounds to go...at that rate it will be in 5 months..don't forget it is gone forever also.....you body needs to reshape and say ok...time again...if you take your measurements, you are still losing inches...take care and it will find... for you to a great tune and that is good excercise...

If you're losing 10 lbs. a month, that's not a plateau, that's wonderful! Look at it like this, it's more than 2 lbs. a week and it's a loss. Marcia

I've lost 10 lbs since the week before christmas up until now...the scales are stuck at 212...I know I can't go by the scales lol I don't even know why I bother....I guess I just like seeing numbers go down but I'm still at 212 would really like to be 199 by Feb 1....was going to go to the gym today, but I couldn't find my membership card ah well I'll just have to go get another...or get my mom to because I use her membership..teehee...anyways thanks everyone for the encouraging words, I've just been in a slump lately. Thanks Elizabeth 267~212~140
