I am at 213.6 now!
I have been getting in plenty of protein, about 60-70g/day avg. I have been walking about 2 miles/day, 1 mile of it being uphill. I am struggling with my water intake though. I was only getting in like 30oz/day, and for the last week or so I have been able to get in about 54oz/day. I have also been getting in my vitamins, although I have been forgetting my calcium some days.
Does anybody have any advice? On all my previous weight loss attempts in the past 5 years I had stopped losing and starting gaining back all the weight around 210. I am in my smallest-sized clothes that I have, which are left from those times that I had lost weight, but I am just feeling like I am stuck, like its not going to come off anymore, and I am doomed to be this weight. It is just so frustrating. And according to my doctor's plan I am supposed to lose another 26 pounds in the next 4 weeks. I don't see that happening. Does anybody have any suggestions on breaking this plateau?
