Last few weeks the loss has been 0 to 2 lbs. Last week it was only .5. Anybody else find it slowing down? I am hoping this isn't the end of the losing. Anybody have any advice on what I can do? I use the treadmill 5x a week, eat protein, drink fluids.... I don't know how else to get the scale moving. Any help would be appreicated. Elizabeth

I think this is pretty normal! Surgeon even told me there would be times when I stopped losing weight, but my body would be shrinking. Our bodies have to catch up to the rapid loss. Sounds like you're doing what you're suppose to be doing. I know that the scale tends to start moving when I've figured out I'm not getting in enough calories and I increase them. Take care of you and KNOW you aren't done losing....body is just catching up. Pam

Thanks so much for answering my questions! It is so easy to get discouraged! I guess I would like to go back to losing the 3-4 lbs a week! Thanks again. Elizabeth

hope you get some good answers! I've been gaining and losing the same 2 lbs for almost 3 weeks, but I've gone from size 22 to size 18 so I figure my body is doing whatever it will do. I don't see my nutritionist for a couple more weeks so I'm still plugging away at 800 calories. I had stopped my protein drinks for the last 2 weeks, felt like I was getting enough from food. I'm gonna start them again today. I have enough protein powder I should use it anyway. Good luck! ugh, stalls suck. judi
