Got To Get Movin'

At almost 11 months out I seemed to have STOPPED losing weight. How many calories or protein should we be consuming to keep the weight coming off. I lose 5lbs and gain 5lbs back. I see so many of you are still losing what am I doing wrong and what are you doing to keep it moving? Please help!

No help here! I'm in the same position. All I can say is to do what you know is right. Keep away from bad carbs, eat according to your surgeons food plan, drink ALL your water, maybe bump up your protein (I shoot for 80-100g), exercise EVERY day. The weight will come off if we just consistently do what we know is right. I'm totally talking to myself here. I'm going on two months bouncing around the same 3-5 lbs. It's about time for a drop - but regardless, I need to stay focused. Press on!! Margaret

Are you exercising? I know when I am stuck I go back to basics and that usually gets me going. Anna

I"ve heard that when your weight loss slows down, that you should mix things up a *****ange your exercise program, your diet, things like that. I think you are not done yet, sometimes we just have stalls. Make sure and measure when you're not losing weight.

I'm in the same boat, keep bouncing back & forth a few pounds and I only have 26lbs to reach my goal, it seems so close yet so far. I think my big issue is the exercise, I love it, but trying to get motivated to do it is one thing. I'm hoping to start kickboxing classes with my boyfriend here next month. I hope that helps, having him do it with me will be a real motivator. I think simple is a great thing, I'm trying to keep my meals to a meat item, and a veggie and thats all. Then drink, drink, drink between meals. Lately I've been doing a chicken breast and green beans, or a salmon fillet and green beans. Then tea or Crystal Light between the meals. If I do really feel like I have to snack I will have a Low Carb yogurt or SF pudding.
