I can really see why you are down 2lbs. That's a good looking food profile.

This is my plan.  Like your post said yesterday about the tight sleeve, I've noticed as I've been cutting back, my sleeve does feel tighter.  I'm just trying to drink water like a mad woman in between meals to keep me going.  My weight loss is going to slow really soon, in fact I'm sure I will stall soon because this was a lot of weight to lose in a short period of time but having gone through this a lot since surgery, I know what to expect and I'm ok with it.  I'm feeling a lot better about myself so that is what I am happy about.

Take your understanding a step further and this is really the problem for us as we get closer to goal. When you start out you resting metabolic rate is around 2400-2800 calories per day. Those are the calories you burn just living and breathing. As we get closer to goal and as we exercise (particularly cardio) this number comes down. Mine is currently 1910. That means while early out we were enjoying an extra 800 calorie per day burn, we no longer get that. Isn't that a kick in the ass. We get healthier and our bodies reward us by slowing down and helping us out less.

So its not just that your weight loss is slowing down, its BECAUSE you lost weight that it is slowing down. I know it sucks. So pack that into the knowledge suitcase and use that as your fuel for patience. Realizing that your weight loss slowing down means you are being successful.

AMEN!!!

Go Jenn! Rockin that sleeve gurrrl!
