I am now starting week 14, for say hmmmm 3 weeks weight loss plateaued. I went back and forth in the 250's 5 pounds up and down. I was going nuts when someone suggested up my protien intake from once a day (shakes) to twice a day and make sure I am getting 64 ounces of water (1.7 liters). Well I did just that and the weight is coming off again albeit not quite as fast but it is moving. I am exercising every second day for about an hour on a thread mill at the gym.
I think the key to is change up your routine, adjust the basics, that being the water, protein intake and exercise. These three are bigtime factors. Like lifting free weights you need to change up the routine after a while and shock the muscle.
As long as I eat properly and follow the regime, I can't help but lose weight.
Started out at 322 and am now today at 239 lbs. My ideal weight I aiming for is between 174 & 200, not the 160 my doctor suggested to me.
I remember when losing weight the old way, manually I will call it ha ha my weight loss graph looked exactly as described here, like stairs, the plateaus would last for up to a week but as long as you were following the diet it would come down. I was told at that time the plateaus are indicative of the body readjusting it water levels etc and retaining water to do so .... made sense back then and probably is applicable today with WLS.
