Good Morning Mari,

After my full cheat day last Wednesday (I will not even go into details what I ate) and a tiny bit of cheating here and there over the weekend, I am happy to have a no loss/gain this past week.

Highest weight (1997): 297.0
Surgery weight (2007): 272.0
Last week's weight: 191.2
Today's weight: 191.2
Total weight loss: 105.8
Weight Loss = no loss/gain

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

I understand that "cheating" thing--I'm having a terrible time getting past it myself.  (But I've been doing this for several weeks, good days and bad days.) I know that is the reason for my weight not moving, but I also know that I will pull it together sooner or later.  I'm just very happy that I haven't gained either.  Glad to see that you aren't beating yourself up about it! Thanks for sharing!

Hugs, Mari

Stalls really SUCK - I am sorry !!!

What about inches?  Are your clothes getting looser on you?  Sometimes I lost inches w/o losing any pounds - sounds crazy but I found out it is pretty common.  I measured myself every Sunday and also found it didn't come off evenly, either.  Some weeks it was my hips, some weeks my waist, sometimes my bust - but over the long haul it evened out.

If you really aren't losing inches or pounds, then post what you have eaten for 2-3 days and ask for suggestions from the board.

I do not measure myself. My surgeon never did so I never thought about it until joining OH. So I would not know. I do feel like my clothes are getting bigger... but I am still not seeing it on the scale. I stall all the time. It is so frustrating. The stalls are always when I am PMSing. Odd as it is. I have PMDD (bad pms). Sometimes my pms is 2 or 3 weeks before my period. This month it was 3 weeks before my period. The entire time I did not lose a single pound. Uggh.

This is what I ate yesterday: 
B: protein shake
water
S: one egg, scrambled with cheese
water
L: chicken salad with ff ranch
water
D: snap peas and roast (about an ounce of each)
water
S: handfull of baked lays chips
water
bed

Today: 
b: protein shake
water
s: 1 egg scrambled with cheese
water
L: chicken salad w/ ff mayo
water
s: sliced peaches
water
D: carb free shepherds pie (meat, veggies, cheese, layered)

I did the same thing, back and forth for a while, but as long as you break through it and get back on track you'll be fine. I seems to be a part of the process, hang in there. You're only 4 months (or so) out and you have already lost 48 lbs. It'll be OK!

Hugs, Mari

So, for sanity sake... can you tell me how you broke the stall? I have done EVERYTHING! Increased my calories, my water, my exercise, my protein, etc. It happens every month. Did you stall often? I have not met another person who has stalled as much. Then I keep reading about these people on the main forum that said that RNY failed for them and they stopped losing weight at 3/4/5 months and never lost another pound. That scares me so bad. I am so paranoid!!

I hit a BIG stall at 3-4 months and was stuck there for about 6 weeks, it was VERY frustrating!  But all I did was hang in there, cuz I was losing inches, just not weight.  I stuck with the program, did what I was supposed to do and then it picked back up.  Just try to maintain your focus on the prize - your weight loss and your mental stability (easy to say, I know).

My best advice to you is just hang in there, stop reading all the posts about folks who "stop losing" between 3-5 months and focus on YOU, not everyone else on the boards!  You are not them and vice versa!  If it progresses for longer than a couple of months, call your surgeon and talk to him/her (can't remember who did your surgery, sorry).  OH yea, and breathe!  Again, I know, easier said than done. I have hit several stalls, some that just come with the territory and some that I have caused myself. The ones that go with the territory are the toughest to handle because you know that you are doing all the right things.  You might even want to make a separate post and get others opinions, I am only one person and there are others who have been through similar cir****tances. It may help your "insanity" when you hear others talk about it and realize that this is something that happens fairly often.  Good Luck and keep in touch with us!  That's what we are here for - support!

Hugs, Mari
