Hi Lee

I agree with

Check out TOPS

I belong to a fab tops group.

Tops is very excepting of wls. Our group has three wls members.

faceing that scale and being accountable on a weekly basis has

helped me soooooo much.

I feel part of my wls sucess is because of the suport from my

tops group. So check it out

<<I've been plateued between 194-198 (5'10 " , 28yrs,started at 320)for

the last 4-5 months. Any advice would be welcomed.

Thanks

Cindy, I started my " journey " at the same age, weight and height. I've been

at goal for nearly 20 years (21 years post op). The best advice I can give

you at this point is to walk briskly for about 15 minutes after each meal.

It will up your metabolism significantly. You can get there. It sounds like

you've reached a " set point " and a plateau is normal for a couple of months

while your body adjusts. I hit several of these along the way, but always

started losing again after the adjustment.
