I have lost about 80lbs so far and cant wait to be in onederland. I have done great as far as dieting and exercizing for a couple of weeks and cant seem to lose anything. I would love any ideas of how to break through this platuea. Please HELP!!!!

Keep working the program, make sure your not cutting your calories too much, and relax plateaus happen. (I stayed at 185 for six months.)

I've found going all protien for a few days kick starts the weightloss again. Also, just recently, I started a weightlifting class in addition to the other workout classes I already do. That seems to have gotten me past a plateau that had lasted for a few weeks.

Hi, I agree with Laptastic too. I've been at a plateau since first of December -- I got to 100 lbs. lost and couldn't get any more off although I was exercising like crazy - 120 mins. a day 7 days a week and eating exactly the same as I did previously when I consistently lost 2 lbs. per week average. One week ago I started taking liquid protein before my workouts and I am doing actual weight machines -- I was doing exercise (lots of cardio) and some light free weights, but started weight machines a week ago. Got up and weighed in this morning and lost 2 lbs. which is the first time in months I've lost more than a couple of ounces for a week. Someone told me that if you ingest 18 grams of protein before you work out your metabolism increases -- not sure if it's true, but it did work for me. Good luck and I hope this might help you so you don't stall for months as I did. By the way, I tried a lot of other things during this plateau (like eating more calories, exercising a little less each week) and nothing happened -- in fact a couple of times I'd gain a pound from doing that.
