Debbie, my longest plateau is 5 weeks. Try checking the archives, I'll bet
there are others who have had 2 month plateaus.

I'm almost 9mos out & haven't lost any weight since the first part of
August. I exercise all the time, even tried varying my routines but to no
avail. I limit carb intake, drink at least 96oz of water & get at least
64oz of protein everyday. If you get any suggestions please pass them on.

I too have been on the plateau from hell........my problem, I believe is I
lost so fast in the beginning because i couldn't keep anything down....had
two endoscopies and been "hurl" free ever since, for the most
part.....I think my body is just trying to adjust to the rapid weight loss
early on....the scale isn't moving much but my clothes are getting loose
and my measurements are down....yes, i'm bummed the scale isn't moving but
i know i'm doing everything right, just think the body is resetting itself
and trying to adjust to the initial rapid weight loss....hang in
there.....the scale will start moving again!

whenever my weightloss has stalled out, I do something you may consider
drastic. I add carbs to my diet (whole grains, some potato, veggies, etc.)
and find that it 'shakes up' my system a bit. Don't binge on crap by any
means, but some carbs can get you going again. YMMV!

I just ended a true plateau from hell (over a year) by
going on a protein fast and keeping my carbs under 30 grams ago. I ate
only high protein foods and drank protein shakes, with my protein intake
averaging 150 grams a day and staying under 1200 calories. I lost 5# in 5
days. As soon as I added more carbs I gained a pound. SO-- am hoping to
keep the fast going until I finally reach my personal goal.

I had a 2 month plateau at about 6 1/2 months post-op and about 3 weeks
before I had my abdominoplasty, weight just started coming off of me and I
lost 10 pounds right before my surgery.
