Well hi everyone my browser and computer are acting up, something to do with the Adobe Shockwave Flash. It crashed the website on me I also could not sign in under my original screen name ( stept04) on the new browser so, I had to create a new one. I'll have to use this one until my son can fix my computer.I just wanted to re-introduce myself under my new username. For some reason I could not put my picture on either. So I'm sorry. My son should be able to get this fixed soon. If we were friends please add yourself if you want, I can't remember everyone. Hopefully I'll get my old username back.
First off, I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your husband
Plateaus are frustrating. Are you tracking your calories? That's the easiest place to start to be sure you're not eating too much or too little.
If you are counting calories, I would suggest changing up your routine. If you normally eat low carb, add some healthy carbs for awhile. If you normally don't restrict carbs, go low carb for a couple weeks. Sometimes something so simple as this can essentially "trick" your metabolism into gear again. When I've hit plateaus, I've done something called Carb Cycling. I don't do it all the time but when I hit a plateau I carb cycle for 2-3 weeks and it always breaks the plateau. In fact next time I hit a plateau again, I'll definitely be carb cycling again. There's actually a really long informational thread on it here if you'd like to have a look: http://www.lapbandta...ent-gone-right/
Btw, the fact you haven't gained through all you've been dealing with is nothing less than amazing. You should be extremely proud!!
Best wishes.
