Hi, I started MF on 4/18 and have lost 30lbs. For the past 2 1/2 weeks I have lost nothing. I have tried everything to get past it, more water, no exercise, more exercise, no bars, bars everyother day, full fast, all shakes etc. I am having no luck. Is there anything else I can do to get past this and typically how long do plateaus last? I am getting very discouraged. Thanks!

I can understand your frustration. My $.02 - Try hiding the scale for 4 weeks and just keep doing what was making you successful.

I know easier said than done. But you are off to a great start!

Have some pizza. Extra olive oil.

It worked for me!

Plateaus are frustrating but you're still so new to the plan that I wouldn't try anything drastic. You're body is adjusting and trying to figure out what's going on. Just keep following the plan to the letter. You WILL lose ~ I guarantee it!

Hello all my name michelle I've been on Mf since 2/16/06 I went from 287 to 238 and have been stuck there for a while..Well I went of for a few weeks and now I'm back on any words of advice to get me back burning

Arklahoma · by **Arklahoma** » June 23rd, 2006, 9:57 am

WELCOME, Michelle!!!

Glad to see that you've come back to MF. The best advice that I have is to follow the program to the T. No shifting things around or tweaking. Once your body gets adjusted, it's pretty easy. Feel free to ask any specific questions and many folks will jump right in.

to the both of you!

Yep...sticking with the plan to a T will most definitely work. Even if your body is hanging on to every little ounce of fat it can (I hate when that happens)...it will eventually have to let it go and you'll be back on that downward slope before you know it!

HANG TOUGH!

It may sound weird, but adding a shake might help. It helped me during my first plateau!

Hi Michelle, I'm glad you've joined us! I KNOW you can get back on the wagon and keep shakin' with us!

I had a really long plateau as well. I was drinkin gatorade because I spend a lot of time outside, and it is really hot here. I don't particularly like gatorade, but I know that it quenches the kind of thirst I was having, that water just does not quench. Anyway, I found that Gatorade was REALLY high in carbs. When I cut out the Gatorade, I started losing again. Maybe if you post EXACTLY everything you consume in an average day, and the times you have it, that might help someone see something that you are missing. I don't know---just a thought. I KNOW how frustrating it is!!! Good Luck!!

Hello all,

Today I have been doing good. I told myself I'm gonna do this and although it's been hard lately it's all worth it. Dede thanks for the support you gave me the other day it really helped.

LYNCHGRAY · by **LYNCHGRAY** » June 28th, 2006, 9:59 am

Your so right I know this diet works, I just slacked off. But I'm gonna do my best

So we'll see after this week. How do I know when to weigh in again and how do I move my ticker?

GucciGoo · by **GucciGoo** » June 28th, 2006, 10:35 am

Hey! I was serious about the pizza!

It helped re-jumpstart my metabolism again. Can anyone else tell me they have not lost briefly AFTER cheating?

SharonR · by **SharonR** » June 28th, 2006, 10:40 am

Yep helped me, I lost 3 pounds withing a few days after a day of cheating...but again, that's just me and I wouldn't recommend it per say...
