Question:
I have hit a plateau for two weeks. How do I

get this moving again. I am making myself sick over this as this is the second time it has happened. I am worried that what i have lost is all i will lose. What can I do?    — missyheffelfinger (posted on July 16, 2007)

I believe I posted on your other one that also stated you stopped losing. Once again you have to shock your body-- example-- do different exercises...like maybe just walk, or if your just walking, try some crunches...make sure you get in all your water, and all your protein. Good Luck!

increase your protien. The higher the protien the more you will lose

This has happened to me 3 times now since my revision to RNY in January. I just stayed the course and did not get on the scale for 2 weeks, got on today and I was down another 10 lbs and I was only about 30 from goal, so it will happen, I know someone telling you not to get frustrated does not help, but I too beat myself up over this. If you are doing what you are supposed to be, proper protein and diet it will happen. I have not cheated until today, about 3oz of a wine cooler while at a concert, I will think about that tomorrow, but I do not think that will hurt me, had my doc's permission, LOL. He said that was the safest thing to drink and I would be a cheap drunk after one 10oz bottle, so I only had a little. Fear of dumping has kept me on the straight and narrow. But stay the course and stay away from the scale for another week, I am sure it will start again, it did for me. Best of luck to you, I know it is hard when you don't see the scale move, just stick to your plan and it will kick in again.
