I have been between 191-196 for the last 2 1/2 months. I am not overeating and I am working out hard core five times a week. I am not complaining, just frustrated because I feel like im falling into my post surgery results of working hard and my body is not responding......any advice, words of wisdom?

In the same boat ladies. I just added protein shakes back in to see if that helps. 2 a day and a reg meal for dinner. Hope it helps :)

Lay out your carbs, calories and fat for "everything you eat or drink," for a week. Reduce carbs and fats, and change up and increase exercise, especially aerobics.

Add calories only if you fund your totalmight be low. Also check with Dr re any meds that may be effecting wt loss.

Shake up your routine. Do something different for exercise. Look at your carb intakeand either up it or decrease it. Increase how much water you drink (if possible). Up your protein. Make sure you are getting at least 1,000 calories a day. Make sure you get protein within an hour of waking up each morning.

Our bodies are really good at figuring out how to maintain, and yours has figured out what it needs to do to keep from changingso you have to keep it off balance.

Hang in there, it will come off eventually!

we ALL i think have been there, wondering why that crazy scale will not move as if it has a mind of its own! One thing everyone says is watch the carb intake, increase the protein, and do something maybe different with exercise. Are you drinking enough? It happens to us, i was just in that rutt myself and finally the scale is moving again!

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
