    losing 12 pounds in a month is awesome. sometimes our bodies need time to adjust. you won't always lose weight even if you are doing the same things. also, at times, its good to change up either your nutrition plan or exercise plan so your body can't get comfortable with what you are doing.

    Its only a week staying the same, your body sometimes holds water to replace the fat cells that have suddenly diappeared, so until your body starts to distribute the cells you have lost differently, you are still losing fat, just building muscle mass that needs more water etc to adjust to its new place! Add an extra exercise in your week, or a few mnutes more cardio... Check your sodium levels too, that can sendyou out of whack!

    It happens around the 3rd week or so. Maybe change things up so the body isnt just settling for the same old routine and foods. Remember a lot of the first 2 weeks are water we lose. It will be ok DO NOT get discouraged keep up the fight.

    My friend said her coach told her to squeeze a lemon and put pulp and all in the bottom of her water glass and leave it there and keep refilling it and drinking. She said it breaks a plateau.

    Not to be a jerk, but the gerund of lose is losing. Which you will start doing again soon.

    May just have to try this when I hit my plateau!

    You lost half of your intended weight loss in about a month? ???

    That's great! Don't worry about a slight stall in losses.

    Hi, Can you provide a quick description of your eating and fitness plan so that I have a better idea of how to suggest kicking up the weight loss again? Looking forward to assisting you!!

    So True..I focus on Calories, I eat 1200-1300 a day but I need to prob change to more protein and veggies...Im a big snacker and do like baked chips and rasberrys for sweets..Also i found skinny cow snacks (peanut butter bars) AWESOME...I still stay under 1200 -1300 But maybe i should cut the skinny cow stiff out? LOL

    I really eat the same things...
    In the am Special K breakfast bar..90 cal
    Lunch is a salad or cheese and meat for the protein
    Dinner is chick, steamers sometimes beef and a small potatoe..Im a chicken eater Allways grilled.
    Snacks I do 1 skinny cow peanut butter bar
    2 cups of either fresh strawberrys or raspberries and fat free coolwhip..
    I have had blood work done cause i gained 30 lbs in less then a year, but all was ok there? No problems>
    Im sure age has tones to do with it...
    I very rarely eat more then 1200 cal in a day so om confused to why this is so slow? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks so much!
