Plateau Support Group?

I'm IN!! I've been doing it with the same 3lbs for over a month now!

So what do we do from here? Do we all agree to work 10 min more each day? or cut more calories each day? I'm trying so hard to figure out what to do next to get away from my plateau stage.

I'm gonna try to drink more water too. I was suspecting water weight. I'm measuring myself, stil no difference for the past 2 weeks. I spoked with a co-worker who did the zone diet. She said that she lost 20 lbs in two months in conjuction with doing crossfit (crazy!). I'm gonna try the zone diet - but fear not getting enough calories... but we'll see. I'll let you know how it goes..

I am originally from Japan and I drink green tea on a regular basis. Oolong and Pual are amazing as well. I like to keep a pitcher of cold oolong in the fridge. Teavana's peach oolong is really nice to start off with if you are not use to it yet. It doesn't have a strong peach flavor but it is a lighter oolong so it's not quite as strong. Hope this helps!! If you go to a Japanese market there is a tea called MUGICHA. I don't know if this one necessarily has any specific weight loss benefits, but it is a great cold tea to give you a variety so you don't get bored. Good luck to you!!

i would like to join!! ive been stuck since MAY!!!! ridiculous. anyway i've drank green tea since January so that wont help me LOL.

in my extensive research to find a cure to my plateau, i have come to the conclusion that i have been under eating and OVER EXERCISING !! i guess too much cardio is a bad thing.... i am trying to cut back slightly and try to allow myself a rest day a week ( i work out 7 days a week ) i may try the eat more for a few weeks and go back down thing too.

I've been stuck at the same weight for the last two weeks as well. And before that I had another two weeks where I didn't lose, so I definitely smell a plateau! I've been waiting for one to hit so I keep thinking I'm worrying too much about it, but I also don't want to wait too long to do anything and get discouraged. I think part of my problem is that my success so far has kinda gotten to me and I'm slacking off and letting myself eat out more. But it's only slightly more than before so I'm gonna try some changes. I've increased my work out time (before I'd do about 35 minutes at the most) to at least 45 minutes and more if I can handle it that day. I'm gonna try paying attention to other nutritional values like upping my protein and lowering my carbs. I've heard that this has helped others break a plateau.

And finding this thread I just might try drinking some green tea...though I don't like tea, lol. I guess since I'm increasing my work outs I probably need to take in more calories too, which I don't look forward to. I'm gonna check out those links you posted.

Let's stick to it!

I am going through this to I hate that I am at a plateau also for a while but still am doing everything but more weight training for sure so I am hoping maybe the muscle toning is doing something, idk I just need answers I am going to keep pushing hard though I just wonder why it is so hard for these last couple lbs to come off really makes me sad sometimes!

Dear all,

I read somewhere recently (will try to dig out the source) that when we are embarking on a change and developing a new good habit, it's easy to fall prey to being discouraged and one way to help is to look at how far we have come, rather than how much more to change. So, for all of you up there, shall we take a look at how far we have come, and try not to focus on how much more to go?

BTW, Mrsbroco, I stumbled upon your signature - thanks for the reminder I am going to make a sign with those words and hang it in my bedroom and in my office!
