Try eating a little more than usual for a day. Sometimes that will do it. Are you exercising? Kick it up a notch. When you get into the home stretch, like you are, those pounds are hell to lose.

I can relate. I need to lose about 30 more pounds and I have been on a plateau for about 2 months. I wish there was a magic pill I could take that could get me started again. Good luck.

Hello there! Wish I could help you, but like you Im on a plateau, Im 24 pounds away from my goal weight and cant seem to get rid of any of those. My personal trainer told me its very normal for that to happen. At the support group that I go to they told me to try changin one meal for a protein shake low carb, they say that will jump start my system. Good luck!

oh that goes for me too! i am on my plateau, still need to loose 25 more pounds and havent loose in a month, but honestly, not really in a hurry, i am just looking forward to spring so i can start walking again.... i'm just thakful for now that u have lost 95 pounds already and not even a pound has come back..

I just "broke" my plateau by going back onto the liquid diet from pre-op. It started in November 08, and lasted til the end of January 09. I am also in the latter part of my first year. I'll be 11 months out on the 8th of March.

I have now lost 18 lbs just since the end of January!!!! You'll have to work much harder for it, but we CAN still lose weight when we get past the "Honeymoon" stage!

Cut out the carbs and increase your protein! I also cut my calories in half, but you may not need to do that.

I hope this works for you!

God Bless!

23 years and 140 lbs lighter I gained 30 lbs a few years ago and have about 5 more to loose to be at my ideal weight. Nothing I did for a long time took the weight off then I started exercising more eating more salads yogurt and fruit got my old job back and now it is finally comming off. since September I have dropped close to 15 pounds finally after a long platau. I don't think you have anything to worry about as long as you are eating healthy and you have changed your eating habbits you will start to loose again do not give up. This happens with all diets. You will be fine and you will start to loose again soon I am sure.

Hi, I too have been on a plateau since November 2008. I think that my body is done losing, even though I am still 15 pounds from my ideal body weight. I am trying to be grateful for what I have lost and not get discouraged.

I can only suggest that maybe you make sure you are eating only proteins. I would try to do like an Atkins where you are not eating carbs. I also would increase your water intake. Make sure you are carrying a bottled water with you and drinking as much as you can. I would increase your exercise routine by minutes and intensity. If you are doing cardio 3 times a week try adding an additional day.

Protein, no carbs, water,& exercise = RESULTS
