I need help

I wanted to know what everyone has been on a daily basis to continue weight loss...My weight has been stagnating and hasnt moved an inch in one month...I upped my exercise and protien but nothing....I feel like crying everyday....Please Help Me

I only lose about 1 week a month.  I spend most of my time stagnating.  There really isn't anything we can do.  We have to wait it out.  I know it's hard.  I want to cry when the scale doesn't move too.  I'm trying to tell myself that my life is not defined by a number on a scale. 

Sorry, i'm not helpful, but know that you are not alone!

I have really only stalled for about 2 weeks to date. I only weigh myself once  a week and don't weigh the week of my monthly "visitor".  For me my typical consists of:

B- small yogurt or half of an english muffin (can't always finish)
S- jerky or a few fat free wheat thins
l- salad or baked beans w/protein added and fat free cheese
d- varies (pulled pork, chicken, sea food) this tends to be my smallest meal.  I have found that I eat the most at lunch.

drink about 64 ounces of liquid a day and to get about 80  grams of protein in daily.  I really should exercise more, I walk around our office building a lot and tend to walk quickly.  Plus I am usually in 3 inch heels so that can be a work out.

Remember that everyone is different and our bodies will loose weight differently.  If you aren't already taking measurement I would start.  I am more amazed at the inches then the pounds sometimes.

You can do this, just use your tool correctly and no to very little cheating

Thank you.....what brand of yogurt and protien do you use

Don't kill yourself about this stall it happens to the best of us. Just look at it this way you got your foot in the door by having the surgery now you have the time you need to lose the weight. Anyways you want the weight to come off slowly that way your body adjusts. I am and have been in a stall for about 2 months now. I'm almost 4 months out and have lost only about 30 pounds. I know that's nothing compared to others but every person is different.

I'm sorry you're going through this.  I know how you feel.  Although I have been losing here and there, it's still not as much as my surgeon or I want.  I've upped the exercise, liquids and protein this week and only 1lb.   What is keeping me going, I take my measurements monthly.  This month, I took the tape and put it  to the size I was in January and realized I have come a long way when I see all that space in between the tape and my body.  Don't give up.  I keep hearing the weight will come off if we just keep it up :)
Take Care!!

I happy for you that at least you are losing inches...I just guess i have to be patient.

 Hello my name is Jenny and I have paul Crinagle ahd my doctor. How do you like him and how often does he have you see him.   I had the VG.  

I'm just waiting it out right now.  If I look at my calories and amount of exercise, there's no way I shouldn't be losing weight.  My body (much like my head) is stubborn! 

Good luck!

Keep the faith....
