Tuesday, Oct 5 2010 - 7 1/2 Week Plateau
View WICOMICOWOMAN's food & exercise for this day
I think I'm done.................with this plateau!!! 
Unbelievable.
I went to dietician on the 6 week of this plateau and she said "could be 2 months".
Well, we'll see where I'm at this Friday at my weigh-in. Although I do weigh myself everyday, only because it works for me, I think I have broke the misery I've been in..... but won't be official til Friday.
If this happens to you, just hang in there. I know it was hard cause I sometimes felt, "why bother". I could watch what I ate or eat whatever and it didn't seem to matter.
I continued my walking 3 miles, 5 times a week and have increased my weight strengthening.
I just want to get to 180 lbs, at this moment, cause then my BMI says I'll be "overweight"
not obese. That is now my goal. 
Anyone else have an encouraging plateau story to share?

Plateaus can be VERY frustrating and discouraging. When I hit them I change up either my eating routine or my exercise routine or both. If I've been eating really good and staying on target, I'll either eat a little more or less to see which one will punch it. Usually its the eat less. Or I'll step up my exercise or switch it around.

I've had to play with mine a bit.....so I don't have any solid information for you. But those are the things that worked some for me.
It's good to hear that you're staying positive, which is a VERY good thing.
I hope you're successful in getting past this one. Keep us posted on what happens and let me know how you break through yours.

This isn't necessarily encouraging per se but I've started making a 'dare' to my body when I get stuck at a weight - like, ' I dare you to stay at this weight for another month (or whatever time period I can mentally handle) ' - it somehow makes me less frustrated with the whole process. // LOL at the Wii!
