Hi all;

So I recently dropped 108 lbs and now for the past month I have stayed at my current weight of 236 lbs and would like some tips on how to get past my stand still. Maybe some diet tips or a different workout regimine.

What kind of plan are you already following? Workouts? Menue? It would help to know what you are doing now, to suggest changes you could make.

My current diet in low fat 3 meals a day with a snack. I cut out fried food, soda/juice, and all fast food.. My work out routine is 45 mins of cardio and 30 minsof weight training.

Though I must admit I have not been sticking to my gym routine as I have been getting bored. So if you have some tips let me know.

108lbs?!? Congratulations!!! and I don't wonder that your body may have decided just to stand still a bit and take stock.

Sorry, nothing helpful to add, except to ask how many calories you're on, I just wanted to say well done!

I think you might find if you started counting calories or points that possibly you're still eating a lot more than you think, even if you have cut out a lot of foods already. What you were eating may have evened out to maintain in the 230's and now to go farther you'll have to be a little more strict with your eating.

Congratulations on the amazing loss so far!

It could be the opposite - too few calories. Especially if sticking to a low fat diet. That's why it's important when you have a lot to lose to make sure that you eat enough. It can also depend on the intensity of cardio and/or weight training. I forget the specific number of weeks, but your weight routine should change every so often (ie. different moves and/or heavier weights). Your muscles get used to what you're doing and you need to change it up.

I would up your cardio to a full hour. And start counting your calories.

I just wanted to say CONGRATS! We're the same height and have lost the same amount of weight so far. I stalled at 99 lbs for 3 months but continued to lose size...are you taking measurements?
