Frustrated X Post

that I have only lost 4lbs since Christmas and that I seem to bounce up and down constantly between 181-182. What gives? I make healthy eating choices, I eat 1000 calories or less a day, my exercise is limited to the exercise bike in my apartment but I do that for atleast 45 min 5x a week. I have a job where I am on my feet all day moving around, lifting, etc so I am not just sitting at a desk. I have lost 112lbs since surgery 9 months ago so I know I shouldn't complain. I just want out of the 180s already!!! This happened to me also when I was at 206 for awhile but it didn't last for this long. I was thinking of going back to liquids for a few days to see if that will get things moving again, is that a bad idea? or Maybe that 5 day pouch test to try and break this stall...it has been almost 2 months.

Sorry you're having a big stall. I too can go a month without losing, but never 2 months. I know a lot of people do go back to the 1st stages of the diet to try and jump start things. Personally I have never tried it, but maybe you should. Please post again to let us know of your success. ~April Sending you positive energy from NY

Kali, Please join us in the stall buster that Donna posted. We are starting on Sunday. I have basically not lost since November. There are many of us struggling. Hugs, Sue

Kali, Sometimes you have to shake things up in ways you would not expect. That includes eating more calories, or doing different exercises (get yourself a DVD of some aerobics or something like "Walk Away the Pounds"). Do you have a nutritionist you can consult? Maybe you could also talk to your surgeon or people in a local support group. Best to you! Cyndi
