I've got a question for the vets, did you find it was tougher to stay on plan or lose weight in the winter? I'm thinking I'm fighting evolution. I was losing pretty steady and the only stall I've hit was at three weeks, none since so it might just be a stall. With poor weather I can't get out for walks as often and I'm not very dedicated to exercise. What do you think, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I suggest getting a recumbent exercise bike (new or used) and parking it in front of the TV. The TV helps with the monotony and it keeps your metabolism going!

What winter challenge..... Couldn't help it......a Florida stab........ The stalls are gonna happen and they will take a toll on your desire to continue to exercise... DO NOT GIVE UP......That is the time to make even more effort to get to a gym or bundle up and go outside......do whatever you have to do to keep getting in the exercise. That will break the stall, but more importantly it will solidify your resolve to maintain the change in your lifestyle that must include exercising.

No winter challenge here even when am getting frost bites LOL i hit the gym...

Hi...I am 3.5 years out and I hit a stall at about the same time you are (about 6 months out). It's normal and has nothing to do with the season. You've lost 85 lbs in 5 months! That's incredible. But I just wrote yesterday in my blog the difference between the One Year Sleeve, the Two Year Sleeve and the Three Year Sleeve, so you might want to read it. Bottom line, is that get as much weight off as you can in the first year! http://www.queenofcrop.com/

Good luck and keep at it!
