I need you... HELP :(

Anytime !!!! thats wut ur OH sisters r 4.......winks

Okay, maybe I'm a lil' slow, but you said that you've lost 5-9 lbs during your stall.....then you're not stalling, just moving slowly! Any move down is positive and 112 lbs is amazing.

When I'm feeling low I go to a pet food store and pick up a 50lbs bag of dog food and think- wow  I used to carry three of these around with me all the time.....it's amazing!!!!

You've done a wonderful job- you look wonderful- be PROUD!

Your right hun, i have to remember that the further out the less you lose but it seemed as if i would gain then lose then stay still then gain again. It was a yo yo that i was tired of. Thanks for the kind words, i really needed it and i'm feeling MUCH better these days. I needed your support. This forum totally rocks.

You may not be losing pounds but you could be losing inches. Have you taken your measurements lately? Are clothes feeling different? These plateaus are normal throughout the journey, but you will get through them. Some times those of us with high BMI's to begin with think we will lose much faster and not plateau as often because we do have so much more to lose than the lower BMI people, but sadly, I've found I have been on more plateaus than those with lower BMI's than I. I'm sure the scale will start moving downward soon for you. You are doing everything you should be, especially getting back on track and getting back to the gym.

I do understand about those stalls I have had multiple so far through out this journey. I still feel blessed because I'm 100+pounds down and I'm no longer on bp meds or any other meds. We had surgery on the same day and we are going 2 ride this journey together. I have read about the things you have accomplished as well, so please keep those things first in your mind and that scale will move again real soon for you.

Thanks hun for your post, YOU ARE A GEM  and i APPRECIATE all of your support. I am feeling better and getting back on the pavement HARD. This will not get me down. Pitty party is over and i will not be defeated. Thanks so much hun

I am in the same boat! 

8 - 9 mo's out, and last 2 mo's lost 4 pounds per mo and this mo only half a pound. Arghhh!!!!

Really bothers me...but...if I am honest i have been eating too many carbs (discovered popcorn goes down way too easy) and I can eat any sugar - and have been pushing that calorie boundry.

So now it is truth time.  I will eat carbs but popcorn (all corm products) are a danger for me - they trigger my eating too much. So cutting out for now and will reintroduce with a boundery - say only once a week at a certain portion or something like that AFTER I get control.

And sugar - well - nothing but discipline to be applied there.  I like it, I can eat it - but it got me here (over weight) and I have a tool my pouch to use to deal with it - have to modify so I do not become one of those people who gains back or eats small amounts of unhealthy food vs balanced. I REFUSE to become that person.

I am back to tracking every morsel - making sure I get 60g protein all water and no more than 60g of carbs - watching portions and calories and fat content - balance being my key word - and getting carbs from healthier places - and essentially nipping it all in the bud - my swinging off track.  Knowing I am prone to this and must re-seet when I get off base

Also signed up for a 7.5 mile walk in May to train for.

That said, it is possible after losing 109 pounds - even if I do these things and exercise - i may still stall and/or not lose a lot moving forward. That freaks me out - i see it written here and I WANT to lose more.

BUT if I take these steps  I know for sure I won't gain...and my shape should shift smaller (as it does on plateuas).  So worst case - no more big loss (which would suck and make me sad) but I dont gain (and am 109 lighter - nothing to sneeze at) and off meds and healthier.

And best case - i lose more and hit my 160 goal over the next 12 months.  Fingers crossed we BOTH get to goal, sister friend - all we can do is make the right choices and hope our bodies will respond in kind.
