    Always there for us - thanks.

    I have to remind myself what viviakay said one time. The secret to her weight loss is persistence - keep at it, even when you plateau. I usually plateau for a month or two, then lose. If I gave up, I wouldn't lose at all.

    Is butter the answer? (Oh, please let it be butter. . .):tongue:

    This is something I needed thank you very much. I keep going on a plateau for 3 to 6 weeks then loose 5 pounds and go right back into one. I already changed my goals the other day and had a very big meal to shock my system. :drinker: Thanks for sharing. You always give great advice.


    Thanks Banks :bigsmile:

    I don't know "the answer" but if changing schedules 'shocks" the body, then the last 2 days should have about killed mine!

    Instead of riding my bike first thing in the morning, I had to work out in the evening and it was with walking and/or kicking a soccer ball against the wall and chasing it!

    And, I didn't have "my foods" either but what they served--which wasn't great.

    I'm curious to see what the scale will say in the morning but after 23 days of no lose, I'm not optimistic.

    This was very well said!!

    I'm down to my last 8 pounds. When I started here, it was my last 10. The first week, I dropped 2. Now, over a month later...nothing has changed. I almost dropped a full pound earlier in the week and I've been so excited. I'm hoping to continue the trend to a healthier me! :)

    Thanks again for posting this!

    I soooooooooo needed this. I have been stuck for weeks and it is driving me bananas. I stopped logging my food because I was so discouraged. (still eating healthy, but not counting every last calorie) Thanks Banks, I will try some of these things and see if I can get that scale to move down.

    Thanks Banks!
    This couldn't have come at a better time. I've been stuck for two months. I am beginning to wonder if this should be my goal weight because I am gaining muscle and eating the right calories. BUT...not necessarily the right foods! I really want to lose those last 5 pounds as was my goal. I will try some of these ideas! :smile:
