Plateaus are hard and discouraging. But as you found out eventually along comes the breakthrough. Congratulations on sticking with it. Maybe the next three pounds will get the message that you are serious!I’ve returned after being away from the thread. I haven’t stopped reading though and cheering you on. I just was tired of my plateau I think. Doing the right things and staying stuck can be frustrating . But, I stayed with it and continue with my healthy lifestyle, eating good food, managing BG, and daily exercise. I’m now down 3 pounds more and am 3 pounds from my goal. Something tells me they are going to be the hardest to lose yet! But…..it’s something to look forward to and I’m planning a little celebration when it happens. Best wishes to all of you!
I've been doing a hill near me. It's about 1/4 mile long (.402km) Now I am adding an additional block to the walk at the end to ensure my body doesn't get too used to just the hill.Hi @filly @MrsA2 I am glad you are still watching it, keep going, you are doing great no matter what the scales say!
Glad to see you back @Prancy I am feeling your pain with the plateau as I am going through one at the moment. It is so hard, but it seems like your patience has paid off.
Well done @May Mic yes, I remember when I was hillwalking a lot, I could eat loads and never gain a pound, it really is hard work. Which hills have you been doing? I have quite a few Munros under my belt, still hope to get one more in before I get too old.
As stated above, I am still stuck in a plateau, I am going to introduce more protein and fibre and see if that does the trick! My exercise is on point and so is my diet, but I suspect they are equalising now.
That sounds fabulous, a great form of exercise and it clearly is doing you a lot of good. A Munro is a Scottish mountain over 3,000 feet. I live far away now, but I hope to get some holiday time up there next year.I've been doing a hill near me.

I'm not sure what a Munro is .
The stairmaster is a killer and good luck with the colonoscopy and prep!I am gradually increasing my endurance on the Staircase stairstepper at my gym. It’s the closest I can get to a hill right now. I can definitely feel it all over when I get on.
I have to switch to a low fiber diet this weekend for my colonoscopy prep. Ugh….Next week is going to be interesting. Lol
Thanks. It’ll be my second one. This prep is different. It disrupts my schedule. I have a lot on my plate next week. We’ll see how the scales go.The stairmaster is a killer and good luck with the colonoscopy and prep!
Fabulous news!The great news is that my colonoscopy was clear! I’m very grateful for that and no need for another one for 10 years! No polyps
Until the next stall. But I'll take this small win.Well done @IanBish - you are on it at the moment!
The weight seems to get more stubborn the less we weigh. But maybe our bodies will get the message that we're serious and are not going to give up. Well done.I lost 1lb this week after quite a stall (hooray), so I am hoping things are on the move again. I am now just half a pound away from goal. Now when I say goal, it is actually my first goal and I will be moving the target once I get there as I would like a few pounds under that just to be on the safe side and to (hopefully) reduce my still rather large stomach area.
Congrats on that loss! It’s amazing how stubborn a couple of pounds can be. I like your idea of adding a little for padding on the loss. I’ll do that after I reach my major milestone.Hi @Hutula76 and welcome to the thread, are you gaining or losing (both are welcome here)? Either way, good luck with your journey.
Argh, sorry @filly - it will all be gone next week, I am sure!
Well done @IanBish - you are on it at the moment!
@Prancy that is great news about the results of your colonoscopy and even better that you don't have to have it done for another 10 years. I am sure everything will settle back down, it is all rather disruptive.
@May Mic enjoy your stay away and well done on keeping an eye on your food and exercise, it helps a lot.
