How Long Did Your Plateau Last?

I have been 189-187 since February I can not get the scale moving. I know I could be doing better with my eating but I'm not doing horrible! I'm going to try and watch my carbs this week and see if that will help my process! How long has your plateau lasted and what did you do to get out of it????

I was stuck in rut where I ate the same foods and did the same exercise routine just about everyday. I switched up everything and the scale SLOWLY started moving again. Good Luck. My plateau lasted from feb-last week....ugh....I just started losing again :)

I just need to eat more I think and I do eat the same things all the time because I know they will go down no problem! I hope this low carb thing with help me get started again! Chika- I was banded July 20 2011 and by my 6 month I had my first real plateua I was 198 for a couple months then I got a fill and a week later I was 193. I had to get a little unfill after that because I was throwing up after everything I ate so since then I have been stuck at 189-187 and I know I need to exercise a little more and eat more and watch my carbs!! And def get away from slider foods!

Kim- the exercises really do help.....I've noticed when I go a week with out going to the gym, the scale just won't move..... I say try physical activities maybe that will help good luck

I'm so frustrated, I've been in the same boat between 181-185 for the last month or so, and I can't get the scale to move :( so mad !!!! I take 5 Zumba classes a week sometimes even 6 a week, and I work with a trainer. It seems like my body it's holding on to this last 25 lbs that I need to get to my goal weight. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!

Girl I've thought about doing the 5daypouch thing I've heard about! I have to do something! It's driving me insane! 3 months is a long plateua I feel like I'm just made to be this size ugh!

same here...weighed 151 in February, have been going between 150-155 ever since! I did get to 149 over a week ago and then went back up. Today I was 149 again, hoping to stay in the 140's for good now. I exercise at least 5 days a week, but staying low on calories has been tough now that the first year has gone by. I have been good on calories now for the 4 days. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and I!
