Topic: how are we doing all
i am curious how we all are doing at this point after surgery.  i am feeling good.  my knees dont hurt anymore and i have a lot more energy.  i joined a gym last week to start kicking up the weight loss. i am down from 242 to 170 but i am still in a size 16 which i have been in for 6 weeks.  that is the most frustating thing for me is not losing the sizes.

have a good to all.

Im there with you guys.  I have been stuck for about 3 weeks.  Im getting frustrated too.  I workout 4 times a week and eat what Im supposed to and Im STUCK...its getting on my nerves.  Im trying to meet a personal goal by Easter and My weight wont budge....Hopefully it will jump start soon...Im going to up my protein and water intake and see if that will kick things into gear.

I have not had an official stall, but I have had 2 weeks not connected to one another, that were 0 losses for the week.  I also know the weight loss is slowing down. At 3 months out I lost about the same amout as you did Dawn. 

With both of you not having much left to lose, your body may be wondering about starving.  Have you changed up anything?  Sometimes you have to keep the body guessing.  Try changing up your eating or exercise routine.  For instance, if you usually have a shake for breakfast, or a small meal in the morning, change and make breakfast one of your bigger meals. I have read that this alone can make the body understand that you will not be starving today and it is ok to release fat stores. 

When I had 0 week losses, I first changed my exercise and on the second one changed the eating pattern.  I hope this helps.

My stall has become a dead STOP.  I haven't lost so much as an ounce for a month.  I'm doing everything right, so it's becoming quite depressing.

Hey there Dawna, I am right there with you on the stall.  I have lost 33 lbs and that is it for the last few weeks.  It is getting depressing.  We will be out of the slump soon.  I have 30 to go and wi**** would start go away soon.  Keep your chin up and don't worry.  This is temporary.  Take care, Heather

down 43 pounds!  No stalls yet, but I am losing very slowly.  I am frustrated looking at people who started close to my weight (226 LBS).  But, I am losing in the normal range of 20 pounds the first month, and then 10 pounds for every month after. 

Blessings, Tami

Great for you!!

I am down 43 lbs, in three months, two weeks!  A little slower that I would like, but I am still in the range of normal losing, so I can't complain!!  No appt at Dr. until I am 6 months out.  Will get first blood drawn then also...

Blessings, Tami
