With Mathematica, you probably do not need an explicit loop.
Your problem sounds like it is made to order for NestWhile. Look
at the documentation for examples.

If I recall the ground rules for this group correctly, the
answer is you cannot do this. The best workaround is to post a
snippet of your code with specific questions. Another workaround
is to post a link to the notebook. But this will likely get you
fewer responses since many who respond here (myself for example)
are likely to ignore posts that require following such links.

Look at the documentation (F1) for While and NestWhile.
