Busting the Plateau

[Michele12000]

YES! I have lost another 4 pounds, total of 15 pounds since I started. I had problems due to wedding and graduation family gatherings, but I easily got back on track when I returned home. I am so happy that I seem to want to be eating this way. I am beginning to believe I could stay on this program and make it my new lifestyle. anyone else finding this program really working for them?

Yes, very much. I know that when I eat this way, I drop a half-pound or so every few days. When I stop and go back to my bad habits (usually on weekends), I plateau or regain. (This is all on me.)

I am working dealing with my bad habits, and keep doing it: seeing the really steady improvement over the past 2 months has made me decide to keep on keeping on. I’m at 153 right now. I’d like to be down to about 130 by my birthday in mid-October.

Goal weight / date dependent primarily on muscle development.

Hi Michele,
I’ve been learning and following this program for about 4 years…..it just keeps becoming easier and easier as I lose my taste for bad foods…sugar and high carbs especially. Now, if i don’t eat clean my stomach actually rebels…a clear sign it is working. I was 212 when I started….have maintained 134 for appx two years with little effort. My whole family watched me…snickered behind my back…said I was a fanatic…etc. But when I was taken off of the 7 medicines I was on….completely reversed diabetes, high cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure….well, even my grown children now eat a much more clean diet. The transformation of my still not perfect but much better body is a real gift…..I wear shorts again…but thee transformation of my health is a nutritional miracle. This way of eating is meant for not for a while….but for life Keep on working it till it requires no thinking….it’s just becomes a habit! I’ll pray for your success.

Thanks to everyone for sharing on this topic. Next Thursday, July 3rd will be the end to my 60 day challenge. I am so excited because today I weigh 241 pounds. That is 20 pound weight loss from this challenge and 22 pounds off from my highest weight of 263. The great thing is that I can just keep on going with the new lifestyle I have adopted. Eating healthy, exercise, weekly weight check. I hope we can continue supporting each other in the future.

Martianken, I’m down to 151.4 from 157.8. I actually did this twice because I got sick, ate like crap and rebounded in the middle. Now I know what I’m doing (I’ve just posted something here) I’ve got a target weight and a date. I could say, I’m disappointed that I haven’t lost more weight, although I’m intentionally trying to build muscle (and probably have). But in fact, I’m very pleased because this has helped me get a real grip on my own eating behaviors, which is the real issue for many of us. So I plan to keep on keeping on.

Michele12000 and Martinken: can’t wait to see pics and your writing about what you’ve done and how you feel about it. I’m really, really pleased for myself and I know I’m going to be thrilled for you!!!!

Hi im trying to join the 60 day challenge-cant get there I get a message:cannot find page—help

[esolaro]

Dawniedark, officially, the 60-Day Challenge is over. But I’m keepin’ on keepin’ on. Be happy to have you join me.

hey Esolaro…sounds like you really had to push yourself through doing the weight loss twice..!…that would be tough for me. I just can from the gym where i love to lift weight, and i did a little extra…did 225 on the bench press today, and i am sure that is going to buiid up a little more muscle on me. i actually feel lighter and feel i look a little better even thought i have not lost no weight in the past 3 weeks. i feel i will adopt your simple slogan…”keep on keeping on…!…”
