feeling slow....

well, it has been a little over 5 mths since my surgery on Dec 7th and I have lost 80lbs.... I feel like I the scales have stopped moving, I know I shouldnt be worried but I guess we all go through this.... I guess I should just be happy that I am in 12's now! Just thought I would get this off my chest! Hope everyone is well!!!

Disclaimer: This works for me - I don't know if it will work with you. When i hit a plateau - I increase my fat intake. (as long as it is long carb - higher fat). As I said, this has helped me in the past. Also - water is KEY! Good luck, sweetie, 89 pounds in5 months is NOTING to sneeze at!!!! Hugs, Laura

I hear you.....oh how I hear you, girl! My scales are screeching to a halt also. I too have lost 80 pounds, but the pounds are coming off sooooo slow now. I have really been working out hard at Curves and it is discouraging when the scales don't show anything for the effort. We will just have to hang in there! Keep up the good work!

My scale has reached a halt and I am only at 74 pounds. I just had my first week without any loss at all. I still have a long way to go and I am starting to worry that I won't reach goal with this slowdown. Karen G

I have lost 80 LBS also and my scales are moving slowly but they are still moving. Just think we don't have as much to lose now as we did 5 months ago, so if they slow down we are still lossing. Deana

I had surgery on Dec 14th and I'm experiencing the same slow down. I've lost 72 lbs and still have 60 to go. Wish I was in 12's like you! Daisy

Hi ; If this is the first time you have stopped losing just relax. I mean you are talking to someone who has been at a stand still more time than he has been losing. It will take off again. I find that when I begin to get discouraged to a point of going back to all the old habits I will lose a couple of lbs. and then I become encouraged again. Just remember you have averged losing 16 lbs a month and how long has it been since you saw that kind of weight loss? Your Loser Friend, Jim

try 54 pounds since 12/27. I would be jumping for joy if it was 80 pounds. tink

I've lost 46 of the 118 I want to lose in my surgery on the same day as yours. Current size 20. I'll trade you any time. Sue O.

WOW! Size 12, that's wonderful Donna 338/222 -116
