About to have a behavioral moment!!!!
Right there with you! Six weeks for me and 30 lbs... And I didn't get more than 100 calories per day the first four sickly weeks! Guess I'm just going to be a slow poke. But I'll keep poking at it :)
Program Start Weight 346 | Surgery Weight 282 | CW 217 | 5'-6.3"
High Weight 376, about a year before program. I gave up diet pop(and all pop), dropped 30 pounds without trying, and kept it off. Now convinced Carbonated Beverages. Are. Evil.
DISCLAIMER: My posts often have weird typos... Because I use a tablet or Kindle to access the forums despite how much I suck at tablet typing. Apologies!
I had the same thing happen to me...then all of a sudden everytime i step on the scale more weight off...I have lost 20 lbs this last month.
You are going to hit stalls. Keep eating the same and doing what you are suppose to do. Your body is just adjusting to losing weight fast.
Oh as btw...when you stress your body produces cortisol...this will make you retain fat...STOP STRESSING!!!!!
If I could give one piece of advise it would be to get rid of your scale for a couple of weeks and just relax, eat what you are suppose to eat (protein), drink your water and move...the weight will start coming off again.
Hang in there!
Everyone is giving good advice, but I wanted to add this little bit of info:
As women, as we shed the pounds we also shed the estrogen that is held in our fat cells. Our periods go off schedule and we... stall. The the MA at my surgeon's office gave me the best advice a week before my surgery.
"A few people (mostly men) lose weight like they are on a slid. The rest of us lose weight like we are going down steps. Step down...wait...step down... on and on."
