I wish i could explain it to you, but unfortunately I feel the same way. I started out at 220 and am 5'3" tall. Now my wgt for my hgt is 125 I would like to get to 120 and my NP would like 130. Okay that's great 130, but I have been bouncing between 140 and 145 for a month now....At one point I had gotten down to 139 and boy was that great. I have heard that trying some of those plateau diets might help and I am going to try one of them and see what happens.I would really like to get down to my personal goal, but i feel as though I am down as far as my body will let me go, not that it isn't better than what I started at, but You start losing so fast then you want to lose more....I mean I went from a 22/20 to a 9/8 what more could anyone want right? I will let you know if this plateau diet works for me or not. Stacy 220/140/120ish

Been there as well. Iwas 180 for almost a mnth, then this week I weighed in and it said 175, awesome right, well I weighed in today because I feel thinner and usually that means more weight loss, I gained 3 pnds back so I am ready to strangle someone as well. I pray this is not the end all!!!!! You are not alone, we all seem to be doing this

It will take a while to adjust to all the changes. Give yourself a break, but don't allow food to become your focus again. I don't know why you can't go out to eat with your co-workers. I've eaten out with friends from seven weeks on and feel my choices are as good when I eat out as they are at home. I always have a take out box which you can't do on the road, but I assume the company is paying for your food so you can leave it without too much guilt. You can find meat & salad anywhere. Take your own salad dressing if you prefer. Best of luck.

Hi Pat, Like you, I've lost 93 pounds since surgery. I wi**** would drop faster. I was a heavyweight and expected the weight to drop faster. Dummy me, if I had a bad metabolism before surgery why did I expect it to change? My surgeon is pleased with my loss and told me I had three things going against my being a fast loser (1) Over 50, (2) diabetic, (3) slow metabolism from years of yo-yo dieting. I only lost 5 pounds the first week and we all know I could not eat that week. My surgeon does not allow protein shakes/bars after six weeks. He feels we get more nourishment from food. I consumed an average of 702 calories per day last month. My food plan looks similar to this every day: B- 4 oz grits 2 slices turkey bacon 1 scrambled egg Most days I don't eat it all. Breakfast is my hardest meal because the bacon & eggs both tend to make me feel a bit sick so I quit eating. The rest of the day food sits well in my pouch. L- 3.5 Oz Pork chop or steak (braised or grilled) Lettuce Italian fat free salad dressing D- 4 Oz Shrimp, pork chop, steak, etc (braised or grilled) Lettuce (or onions & peppers) Italian fat free salad dressing S- 2 SF Popcicles If I get really hungry I will eat 8 almonds as an additional snack.
