I am stuck

just feels like I am so stuck & now is the time to share your all thoughts, I go to gym 2 a week the rest I walk I get my protien& water & sometimes tho I dnt eat enough but working on that ,gosh wish the scales would start moving again it went back up 3 more lbs I swear I am staying off the scale for a while it drives me nuts !!!I feel like no more will come off I hope more comes off I need to lose 30 more at least will take more tho.Good luck all just had to vent

U're doing fine.......have u noticed a change in your clothes? We are our own worst enemy.....STOP IT Same boat here, however I noticed in my clothes. Check it out...go out shopping and try on clothes- it should cheer u up when u realize WOW- I fit into that!!! Stop being so hard on yourself....... Ana

I am with you girl, seems like no matter what I do I go up and down the same 3 lbs. Been doing it since the first part of December.....frustrating! My theory is that we have lost so much our body is taking a brea****ep doing the right things and I know it will come off (that is what I keep telling myself). I have 40 more I want/need to lose and they are definitely the hardest! Susann

Hey Rebecca, darlin! Long time since I've been on here. Since your surgery was only 9 days after mine, I know how you feel. I have lost 80 and I'd LOVE to lose about 30 more, but I am feeling frustrated, too. I go for my 9 month check today, so I'll ask Dr. B what his take is on it. My clothes are falling off of me! So I agree that if you don't see the scale go down, it's not a futile effort. Hang in there and I'll bet by next week you will be back here telling us that the scale moved again- yay! Hugs! Christine

Mussle weighs more than fat - now repeat that 200 times and it might help.Just kidding. Dont worry about the scale look at inches!! You are doing fine dont give up hope just relax and keep doing what you doing !!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed Cari P.S. Scales are evil

Are you cutting your carbs and upping your protein? Remember, protein first, then dairy, then vegetables. Carbs come last, if you have room. It really makes a difference. I'm still losing at over 2 years, but it's slow, so don't feel like your losing time is over. You're still in your prime time. Your body is probably just taking a break. It's really important to eat enough. Try upping your exercise a little. Walk or go to the gym another day. Your system might be in a rut and need a boost. Good luck and stay off the scale! It's evil. Love, B

Excuse me, missie, but who was just boosting me up when I was upset about my scale not moving? Yea, that's right - you! Now, let me see if I have this right - you may be losing inches right now even if the scale is not moving in the right direction. Your body is trying to catch up with you so just give it some time. Don't worry - you're doing great - really! Just TRY to stay off the scales. I weighed this morning and I still haven't lost any weight for about 2 weeks now. I won't weigh myself again until next Monday. I know my muscles are getting stronger so soon I hope to see a difference not only on the scales but in my clothes too. You'll be the same. You could try increasing your level of exercise. That usually helps. Try going to the gym 3 times and do different things. And try walking/jogging instead of just walking. Good luck! I'm sure you're in a short stall but you will get out of it soon. Susan

Becky, This is the part I hate about WLS. When I am feeling bad about the scale not moving, I go back to basics. I eat small amounts of protein every three hours. I drink water between the small meals just like we did right after surgery. Sometimes I will make a double protein shake to sip on. See you Thursday. And I agree, your body is just being stubborn after you lost SO much so quickly. Hugs, Mary

Becky, we all need to vent, with that being said keep doing what has worked for you and all will be fine (you look Great) and health wise i am sure you are doing better. the last 30 plus will definetly come off. David

Join the club. I am still where I was a few months ago, the last time I saw everyone. No matter what I do I can not get under 175. I guess that it where my body is comfortable, but I want to lose around 20 more, no matter what I do I can't get below it. I am happy to be where I am but I just wish I could make my body understand that I need to shed a few more to look right. LOL!! This tummy needs to go. It has changed shapes although I haven't lost and I don't like it. I will keep on and eventually it will have to give. Theresa
