About to have a behavioral moment!!!!
Whining is allowed! Try and concentrate on how you feel, how great you look and the "new" size of your clothes. I kept looking at my monthly before and afters. Make a list of all the things you have done since losing weight and a bucket list of all the things you are going to do, want to do, dreamed of doing! Get wild and crazy!!!

I need to weigh daily too, so I know how wildly my weight can fluxuate day to day. But I need to see the number because I still can't believe I'm under 300, and I have been all 2016.
252.4 is my current weight, but it feels like iit should read 352.4. (I also weigh daily because I have heart issues and sudden weight gain is something to monitor for.)
Hope your numbers starts moving down again soon. I had thought mine had started up again, for two whole days... And now I'm back in the holding pattern.
Really wi**** was a consistent downward trend, even if it was just .2 lbs a day, at least it'd be more psychologically gentle :)

lol whining is allowed, I want to every time I've gotten on the scale the last 3 weeks and no change......it's frustrating but based on every other person on OH it's normal and we have to be patient....not my strong suit! Keep your chin up and know you are not alone!
It's not about losing weight.....it's about gaining confidence too. It's not about shrinking in size, it's about growing in strength
I feel your pain. I am only two months out and have already had a stall for 2 weeks and I have only lost 28 lbs since surgery. I feel like I should be losing more. Even my dr office said I am losing a little less than average. UGH! Really? I am trying so hard, exercising, getting lots of water in, and lots of protein, no carbs, etc. I keep having to remind myself that I wouldn't have lost this 28 lbs if not for surgery so I just have to keep going - slow and steady wins the race right?

28 lbs is fantastic at 2 months out! I think that's all I had lost at that point as well. In month 3 and 4 I haven't lost much, it was all in the first 2. I guess the problem is we compare ourselves to others and when I see someone have surgery the same week as me and they are far past me in weight loss, I get discouraged. But, like everyone says, we are all different. We don't look the same, so why would our bodies lose weight the same? I just have to wrap my brain around that myself and stop stressing. I got on the scale this morning and it STILL says 201. I told my husband I was going to throw the f***ing thing...he told me to knock it off and that I've lost 50 lbs already (not quite 50 yet babe lol).
