MONDAY WEIGH IN!
Hey, I agree with Heidi, you can try switchin' stuff up to see if it helps move things along. And you're right, the loses do slow down the closer we get to goal. I try to remind myself, it doesn't matter if I get to goal next week, next month, or at my 1 year post-op; this isn't a race. I'll get there eventually. I'm a pretty impatient person, so I have to remind myself of this constantly

I upped my water and protein (not calories) last weekend and Tuesday the stall finally broke! 7 more pounds 'til goal but I don't think I'll purposely stop losing at goal. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and let my body decide when it is done losing. I could get down to 122 lbs for my height (5'8) and still be at a "normal" BMI (very very low end of it though.) I really don't see me getting into the 120s though, I think that would be way too skinny for me.
Jessica,
I just checked my last weeks weight I've lost 3 lbs this week. I was on a terrible stall or it seemed so to me. I changed every thing. I upped my calories for a few days then back to diligence. I had a bunch of thing to do so exercise slowed then back up. I added some walking instead of just the elliptical. I had my period and walla!
Who knows what really did it Jessica but It will happen for you too.

Consult and highest: 254
Day of surgery 7/9: 218
Last week: 141
Today: 141.4
That's up 0.4 lbs., but I'm not sweating it. I did everything I needed to do this past week and the week before had almost a 5 lb. loss, so I'm chalking it up to a fluctuation.
Total loss of 112.6. The past few months have been more challenging...I've lost anywhere from 7 to 12 lbs. in each of the past 3 months.
