Topic: RE: 10.5 months out and STUCK
Thanks for the great post, Terri! I am eating way too much! I know I need to get back on track. I think that I thought because I was working out, I could eat more but we all know that is not the case. My 1 year is coming up and I wanted to be down 200 pounds. That would be 15 to lose in a month. Don't think it's possible! Grrrr! KUTGW!

thanks shell... i have survived 2 days.... lol.... i am back down to the 163 so i'm happy... i feel much better and have been getting good sleep too.
i remember seeing something about the 5 day pouch test... but don't remember the details... i might have to do some research on that. i just wanted to kick myself in the bum and get real again ;)

That sounds like an excellent idea. I know I saved a link about the 5 day pouch test, I will have to try that in the upcoming week!

Renee...
I wish I had some advise to give you, but I'm in the same boat... I've been struggling up and down with the same 10 lbs... I hit my all time low so far of 163, but am currently at 169... up and down since July...
I've decided to do a three day of liquid / protein shake to start a recommitment... May not be what the dr's / OHer's would suggest, but I need something to kick myself in the bum and get rededicated. I also have slacked off on my vits... so I'm committing to that again also.
Friday thru Sunday, I will up my liquids, take my vits, and drink my protein... I'll allow myself soups / tea and SF puddings.... Then on Monday I will start journaling again, and being more active on OH and not go back to my carbs... I am not a dumper so I've noticed the "treats" i'd allow myself have increased from weekly to daily.... so it's time to get serious before the scale goes totally off track and I wind up with my old eating habits that got me to 293 to begin with... I WILL NOT go back there...
Hopefully your stall will break soon. I had wanted to hit 158 but my one year anniversary... which is nov 26th... I think I could still do it... ( that would put me at * almost * normal bmi, but 100 down from surgery date... for a total loss of 135) My ultimate goal will be 148...

My weight was stalling out....and I was pretty close to goal - I stepped up my exercise. I started preparing for a 5K run. a few pounds fell off and the inches went flying! I even gained 3 lbs but dropped a pant size. Dropped the 3 pounds again, but can feel my body shape shifting. Had to buy new bras!
it's not over!!! it's just harder!!
I also had to UP my calories.

Thanks for opening my eyes. I need to start realizing that 1 pound a week is good and the falling off of weight has stopped. :-)

Isn't it frustrating? If I was even close to goal, it would be understandable but geesh! LOL! I guess we just have to hang in there!

I lost 50 lb my first 3 months, 15 lb in the next 3 months, and ONE POUND since May. So from my standpoint, your 5 lb a month is fantastic!
Topic: RE: 10.5 months out and STUCK
I feel ya! I haven't lost a pound in about 2 months now...I got down to 189 for a day and went right back up above 190. I wanted to reach 175 by my anniversary date but I don't think that will be happening now.
