I am wondering if I maybe doing something wrong. I count my cal's and am lucky to get in 900 a day, I am low fat/low carb. Yet I have not lost anything in about 3 weeks or maybe a little less. I had surgery Sept 11 and to date have lost about 25lbs depending on the scale I look at @ work. My starting bmi was 41 now I am 36.3. Just need to know is this something I should contact my provider about or is it normal. (I have measured and have noted inches lost just not what I had hoped for) Just need some good moral help I guess.......................

I don't know if this will hel*****t but you are a "lightweight" so to speak and you are going to lose slower. That is what my doctor informed me. He also said I have the body type that is going to require exercise. I say just keep doing what you are doing and be patient, Drink water, and exercise! Rachel

Debbie, this is completely normal! And so frustrating (believe me, I know this well!). Don't try to cut your calories any more -- if you put your body further into starvation mode, it'll tighted up and hold on to the weight even more. I suggest drinking LOTS of water, and walking as much as you can fit in. But the stalls, which will drive you crazy (they certainly do ME!) are a part of the program. Your body loses for a while, then it's like it takes a deep breath to adjust. Then you start losing again. So hang in there, you're doing GREAT, whether it seems like it or not! Lisa

hey there you are just fine rem the more you weigh the more & fast you lose the less is the less fast it goes trust me I know i am a slow one I have lost -67 & i am almost 7 months out, but your body is shedding inches which is also good ,but the dr told me to take in 1200 calories a day that was my prob I was not eating enough crazy I know but I started eating more & I lost more,good luck & hang in there it will start again soon

thanks for the replies. This morning when I went into work and weighed myself and saw the scale still at the same amount I almost cried. I know what you all have said is true but it was a mental moment. I appreciate the responses because it helps bring you back to reality....THank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
