I feel like I have been in a stall for nearly  2 MONTHS now.  I started at 346 (at surgery date) and I'm now 264.  I see tons of people dropping tons of weight and I'm barely losing 2lbs a month.  It's so very discouraging!  I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I know that 80 lbs is phenomenal, but I feel like my body is just revolting against me!I want to be in 'one-derland' so bad...it just feels so very far off!  I'm becoming very sad as a result...which makes the bad foods more inviting.  I've only indulged here and there....but for the most part, I follow all rules.Did I really do all this to go backwards?

Any suggestions???

Ah Sweetie don't do that to yourself. Your doing great and everyone is different. Don't compare yourself to others just focus on you. Your loosing weight and doing things right and that stuff about the bad foods its always going to do that to you. Thats always going to be there somewhere in the back of your mind. Its sucky but thats part of our problem and how we got that way in the first place. Don't let it win. Come on here get support you need. You can do this!

You and I are pretty much the same.  At surgery I was 360 and now I'm around 273.  We started out around the same number and now we are around the same number.  But go**** is frustrating, isn't it.  I thought this weight would fall off, but I go through spurts...3 weeks of nothing and 1 week of losing...3 weeks of nothing...1 week of losing. 

Looking at the big picture.  Wow!  Look at us!!!  Look how far we've come even with those stalls.  I want to be in onederland so bad too, but we have to take it one lb at a time.  We WILL get there!!!

HI MS.GENA...

THOSE STALLS COME AND GO... "JUST RIDE IT OUT"... A long as you know you are eating at least 40 to 60 grams of protein a day, water, and 3 days a week some kind of exercise... THE DROP WILL START AGAIN... " MY MOTTO FOR THIS YEAR IS NO REGRETS".... You have less than 12lbs till you have lost 100lbs... THAT IS AWESOME.. small steps... leads to larger ones!! THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE A YEAR AGO... NOT THE SAME THIS YEAR...

NOW SMILES... and as my boy MARTIN LAWRENCE SAYS.... "YOU GO GIRL!!!!"

LUV YOU MS. GENA!!

Gena, you are doing just fine. 

Since my surgery date, day or so after you, (July 22nd, I started at 310) and I've "only" lost  79 lbs since that date so you and I are right on the same track.   I think I'm doing great and you're looking great too.  

It's all good girl  :-)    Hang in there.

I  have only lost 63 lbs since surgery.  I lose 3 lbs in two days and then stall for 2-3 weeks.  It is slow but steady.  But I am also not eating as well as I should and I do not exercise at all.  Just being more active..
