Stalled! Again, like every other week!

Me too. I also noticed the same period trend...only mine is messing with me now by being totally unpredictable! Last month it was over 40 days between cycles. We shall see this month. Makes things harder to predict. I last week was a significant loss weeks, but should have been a stall week according to my cycle. We'll see if I get my period now. I think not.

Love the pics of what you were thinking with your weight loss Travelher... haha

You just wrote my exact scenario. Our stats are almost the same. HW 278, SW 263, CW 241. I had VSG on 4/17/17 and can't seem to get past 240 for the last month. I walk 2-3 miles, 6 days a week and have started Zumba 2 days a week. You would think I would have some progress on the scales. Physician Assistant wants me to limit my carbs to 20-40 grams a day. Tells me I must be gaining muscle. To me, an ounce is an ounce and each one counts. I know I should celebrate each NSV, but not seeing a lower on the scale for almost a month is so discouraging! Hopefully it is just our bodies recovering from the trauma it just endured and we will be rewarded soon! Keep it up and keep in touch as we can encourage each other. I know we will just have to be a bit more patient and soon we will get there! Perhaps just not as fast as we would like.

Whoa! My twin! You are far more active than I am, I have to admit, though I am more active now than I was for the past 4 weeks. Yes, I must keep carbs WAY down. I'm really pushing it by having a peach or pear half with my cottage cheese. The scale DID break 240 this morning: 239.8! I'm going to really limit carbs and get on my treadmill. Plotting my loss from pre-op up to today helped me get a visual of the nice gradual line sweeping downward. That helped! And it showed that my BMI has dropped 2 since surgery. That's something. It's all something. When I'm sitting stalled I will try to read it as STABLE and focus on the fact that the number is NOT GOING UP which is what I fought the past 5 years since my band went kaput.
Try plotting a graph on Fitbit. You can set up an account without owning a Fitbit.
I find this site really user-friendly. The graph helps me. I need pictures! ;-)

Congrats on breaking the plateau! I hear you about weighing daily but I only update my weight once per week. When I see the few ounces lost in my weekly progress, I try to calm down. Not as active this past week but my Fitbit & My Fitness Pal is helping. I am tracking my meals, do a workweek challenge & aim for 10k steps daily. I may bump that up to 12k daily next week. Hopefully I will break through this week too!

When you are not losing pounds you are losing inches . Measure yourself. Once I realized this I looked forward to the stalls

Am I reading this correctly? That you just had surgery about 6 weeks ago?

Right. I am 43 days out from surgery. Like many, I left the hospital weighing 7 pounds more than when I entered. Took a week to get back to pre-surgery weight. Then I had a lovely week of falling numbers. Then I stalled for 9 days (during which time I was severely constipated, so I chalked it up to that). This stall is maddening. Seriously, maddening. It just makes no sense to me, AND I have been very active the past three days. GAINED a pound! Must be a new bicep, right?
My husband asks, "Isn't there something Doctors can do for people like you?" I said, "Yeah, they can cut our stomachs down!" HA!

I felt that way at first. but, the more you stress the less joy you will find in having come this far. 43 days is nothing compared to the many days you spent miserable, sick, overweight or full of shame( like I did)

This is a marathon, not a sprint and you are in for a the long haul. it will come.

For 9 months my pattern has been no weight loss for about 10 days (but it's been as long as 3 weeks) and then bam, 3-6 lbs off over the course of 2-4 days, rinse and repeat.

Keep doing the work.... protein, water, exercise. Try tracking your trends and look for your patterns. Once I realized what my pattern was, and knew what to look for, I relaxed. Even when my cycle would run "long" I'd know it was about to break and didn't panic.

And, some of us don't lose as fast as others for a number of reasons. If you want to amp it up, talk to the people who had more rapid loss and emulate them. Just keep working the plan. :)
