Wow!!! 54 lbs in 12 weeks!! That's awesome! Good going! First off, don't get stressed about the plateau. Most of us hit it at sometime and you will eventually get past it. I have heard different pieces of advice on how to get beyond it, though. Anything from restricting your carbs or calories more to actually increasing your carbs/calories more. Same with exercise....either try increasing it, or if you are exercising a LOT, then decrease it a little. Just experiment a little bit and see what works for you. Good luck!

Thanks for getting back to me. You have very good ideas. I am really sticking to my goals as I shrink down so to speak. I am going to add 5 minutes onto my excerise regiment. Do you have any good recipes you can trade with me? Thanks again for answering me back.

This was a recipe given to me by the surgeon's office. I thought it was pretty good and they worked as "snacks", also.
