Hello!

I need to hear from those that have contuinued to loose weight after their 1 yr. anniv. I have been STUCK for about 2 months. Even after exercising and eating good, the scales WON'T MOVE!!! i have lost 83 lbs to date, but for the past two months, I have been going up & down with the same 10 lbs! What is worse, is that I am going between 195 & 205. I am now pretty much staying under 200, but it is SO Frusterating to keep loosing the same 5 lbs over & over & over!!!! I am beginning to wonder, is this IT?? Please, share your experiences after a year has passed!!!

OMG, you are totally living my life right now! The only difference is I can't really exercise right now because I am having both knees replaced on June 15th, and right now I'm in a lot of pain...too much to exercise. The exercise will come later when I am in rehab. Anyway, I have been fluctuating within the same 10lbs for the past two months, too! Up and down, up and down...I still do Slim Fast shakes once to twice a day, too! I'll be eagerly watching for advice from others as well!

The same thing has happened to me, I'm just darned lucky I got to goal weight in that time, I didnt have more than about 80lb to lose in the first place.

So I've gotten to a healthy weight but I'd like to be lighter, I'm around the top of my healthy weight range atm, would rather be at the lower end, that's just my build. But I can live with how I am more than happily, so I've just focussed on continuing to live well and healthily and continuing to challenge myself with my running and other exercise.

I think this is fairly common. i have been stuck for about 6 weeks. i was hoping along with the excersize, the added activity during the summer would help but so far I am still stuck. i have been loosing inches tho - pants fit better it is just the scale that does not move. I also hold water so the scale can fluctuate 5+ lbs in a day. Not good for ones confidence!

I too am in the same situation. I have been battling the same 10 pounds for a month now. I am down 86 sometimes 76 pounds and coming up on my one year mark (June 26).
