I had 4 cc taken out last year april. gained and lost etc. up and down. finally went back to dr got 2 cc put back in. was at 249.5 now at 234. have been 236, 235, 234. been here at this for over 2 wks. not cheating eating 1000-1100 a day. daily walks, water, etc. doing all the right things. last year i battled the 230's. how can i get OUT of the 230's. year before last i battled the 230's.

I am frustrated also. I say try shaking it up a bit...try a different exercise and make sure you are getting enough calories. I am going to try Zumba to try to break out of the 190s. These stalls are frustrating!

Your calorie intake sounds good- My thought is you might want to beef up the excersise. Try walking faster, walking uphill, walking for longer amount of time. You should be doing it for at least 30 minutes and working up a sweat. If your not sweating, you need to kick it up a notch. You can do this slowly. I started out walking slowly on the treadmill for 20 min. Now I jog for 30 or walk on an incline briskly for 45. I gradually increased the intensity/duration of my workouts.

I hit a plateau for the entire summer!! I was so frustrated from May through a few weeks ago I teetered around 220. THREE MONTHS!!! Anyway I researched it a little and I found an article that said many people plateau at a weight that they were at previously for a long time. I believe there is some truth to this because before I really started packing on the pounds I stayed around 220 for most of my 20s. It was tough but you just have to be patient. If you are doing everything right, your body will respond eventually. Good luck.
