hi tami: it's surely been an interesting year. i'm almost at where you started, girl, and it's always helped me to go back to the basics when i get stuck. maybe you could review the 'rules of the pouch' to make sure you're doing what you should. after that - i've found that physical activity helps it get going again. i don't want to use the 'e' word, but exercise really does help alot. good luck. keep on keepin' on. dorthe

I've been stuck at the same weight for a couple of weeks now, and I know it's because I haven't been exercising like I should. Also, I feel like I am eating too much, but when I track it on Fitday I get 800-1000 calories a day. I still have trouble getting in the protein without too much fat or carbs.

Hi Tami, Let me see - Protien - 60 to 70 grams daily Water - 64 oz. daily Calories - 900 - 1200 daily Exercise - everyday - change it up - maybe walk, do aerobic activity, add moderate weight training. Exercise is key for me, I find if I walk everyday I loose much more weight. Keeping up with the protien and water works for me too. I hope this helps - take care and God bless. deb k Happy New Year!

Tami, you/we should all be getting in at least 60 grams of protein preferrably more. I do supplement with protein drinks and bars to get in enough. I keep my calories at about 600-800 without a protein drink, around 950 w/one. Exercise is very important...yes I need to start moving again and as for water....my surgeon recommends 80 oz, you should drink at least 64 oz, more if you can. I have been drinking my life away (water & crystal light this past week), I had gained some weight during the holidays and today I am back to my lowest weight ever since I was about 10 years old. Water/liquid intake curbs my appetite, I was getting hungry more often but since I upped my water to 96 oz plus a day...my meals have gotten small and I don't want that "snack". Dana
