Me, I'm still stuck between 200.2 and 203...been this way since the fall time. It's my fault though, I've been eating in between meals and eating too many snacks and carb type foods. Nerves send me straight for the carbs, that's for sure...I've got a lot ahead of me up coming up with selling our house and moving and buying a new home in a new state and worrying about kids and schools, etc... Hubby had his surgery in June and he's sailed right by me this week and weighs 199 already...the *******!!! I tell him not to tell me anymore..Here I'm 16 mos out and he's already gone past me, but I've lost 130 lbs and he's lost 80...Men always lose faster and more...not as many hormones! Enough excuses..gotta get my butt and mind in gear! Paula

stuck between 142 and 145 since Dec 1st....I know that i have been eating too many carbs, but mostly it's been fruit and bread. I have really really been craving both for about 4 weeks and finally gave in.

I was stuck at the same for like 4 months. I just started losing again and im 148. But with all i am going threw im surprised im not gaining or losing more. My eating habits are weird. One day good next day bad. I did step it up on the workouts. With my botfriend being a weight trainer after work. He spots all my flaws. I hate that. But he is working with me. He told me. My stomach would take around 3 years to get it how i want it. With alot of work. ( Guess what. I still havent told him I had gastric bypass. I told him I lost 40 pounds. Im afraid to tell him. Also I have another man asking me out for a date. Do you guys think I need to go on a date with him? He is only 37 im 49. He said he only likes older ladys. Think I should go for it. Need to not put all my eggs in one basket. But I also no I dont need to be a **** So Im being careful. Single life is great. I never in my million years thought I could feel like this again. The other day. I cryed with happiness. Life is so short. Thank you all for pulling for me. Donna. Your right. That weight lifted is amazing watching them leave was hard. But you got to do what makes you healthy and happy. Grandkids are so glad the grumpy ass is gone Take care Hus to all Barb Im going to post new pis. I have shorts on. dont wear them in public just at home Take Care Barb Hugs and love to you all Shel sweety im thinking of you mommy

Your Pic looks amazing. You hhave done so well!!! I've stabilized between 165 and 168. My goal was 165, honestly the scale rarely hits 165, but it is close enough that I give myself credit. I haven't really lost any weight since November. I'd like to stabalize around 163 to 165, but I'm not serious enough about it to work real hard right now. I too find myself eating more and craving carbs. Bread...never craved bread before.... Sometimes I think I'm eatting as much as I did before surgery, but I just can't be...I think it is a perception thing....Anyway, I do worry I'll gain.

Very stuck and actually gained. Can't seem to hold below 170 and it is killing me. On the good side, for the first time I feel like a normal person who can't seem to lose the last 20 pounds. At support the other day, we discussed that in order to maintain once you hit 165 (thats were I was) you eat 1400 cal. So it is back to fit day and more exercise. I can hardly wait for spring- though here in New England we just had our first real cold spell, so no excuses here.... donna

Stuck and been that way since November! I vary between 194-200..even hit 201 the other morning!! Then back down to 198 the next. it is so frustrating! i know its lack of exercise, so Im looking into Curves. My docs office said they have a special if you are a WLS patient. Just take a letter fromt him and they will drop the registration fee. Im gonna check on that, I think it may just be this area. I know I have been falling into the old panic attack area of dieting that I lived in before surgery. Im thrilled that I lost 130 pounds and wear size 12-14,,but Im scared I wont lose any more or will even gain. So, I was glad to see your post!! Looks like most of us are struggling at this date in the journey. we can get back on track, lets balme it on the weather......

I've been stuck also between 161-165 for a couple months. It's very frustrating. but of course I havent been eating right and I also have been more hungry too. not really exercising either....I plan on joining gym next month hopefully that will help. I haven't really measured myself but a coupl pairs of capris i wore when it was warmer out fit a little looser. Oh well atleast i am sorta maintaining.

Wow, this seems to be a common problem! I didn't realize so many of us were getting stuck. Anyway...oooooh yeah, I can sympathize. The longer out we are, the easier it's getting to pick up old habits. I'm aweful at it too. I've only lost 110# and want to lose another 66# to reach 150#. That's alot for 5'3, but I'm trying to be realistic. I've made small changes like no sugar in tea and no pepsi (yes, sorry but I had been drinking a 20 oz. a day of regular almost daily. ) Not much makes me dump except bready type things and ice cream. It takes a very conscious decision at every turn to decide what to put in my mouth. I get home from work and my first impulse is to eat something. It's that way with my kids and hubby too though. Like, ahhh, we're home, staking our claim, relax in the comfort of familiarity. It's too bad but human around here. I do tend to reach for deli ham or turkey and a slice or two of cheddar, it's protein at least. However, other times, I just succumb to whatever everyone else is eatting. SO, anyway, everyday is a new day, every night in bed I plan for how things will be different tomorrow, I'm just not very good about following through!
