Day 14 of Stall :( Need Some Support!

I've been ~205.4 for 14 DAYS. I'm going crazy.

I'm keeping to my plan, eating right, drinking like a fi****ry to be as active as a I can with my time constraints. I don't know what else to do. I really wanted to be under 200 for my 29th birthday - which is in 10 days now - and I'm so sad I basically went the whole month of August without losing anything :(

Is it at the point yet where something's wrong? Am I eating too much sodium? I can't think of what else to try. Tried eating more/less calories...more/less carbs....upping my protein....way upping my water intake....I'm totally lost!!!! Help!!

Just needed to vent and have a sympathetic word or two so I don't totally lose faith :(

If I want to break a stall I eat less and exercise less.  The other option is to eat more and exercise more.  I find it easier to cut down the exercise and eat less food.  What most of us do is eat less and exercise more and that does not work.  Your body will hold onto weight if you do that.

Upping your protein equals eating more.  At 206 you need about 2000 calories a day to maintain.  You need 1500 to lose a pound a week and 1000 to lose two pounds a week.  You are not going to lose six pounds in ten days.  That does not happen for us after surgery.  Our bodies become better at holding onto what we put into it.  

I had surgery in 2007 and it does not matter one bit what I weighed on any particular day during my initial weight loss.  What matters to me is that I lost all of the weight and am keeping it off.

Unfortunately stalls happen.  I stalled for a month between months 5-6 and I thought I had perhaps lost all of the weight that I was going to lose but I have lost more since then (I'm at 10 months now).  Turns out I was drinking a protein shake with too many carbs.  Change up your eating routine.  Maybe it will help.  Good luck to you.

Stalls happen.  As long as you're sticking to your plan, the weight will come off.  Eventually.  Sucks, eh?

I feel your pain!  I am almost 21 months out and made it to my current weight at 13 months post op.  I lost consistently for the first 4 months but then every single month after that I would stop losing any weight for at least 14 days.  Every.  Single.  Month.  My strategy was to just keep doing exactly what I was doing.  I didn't change anything.  Might not work for everybody but this is what worked for me.  My motto still to this day:  Just Keep Swimming!
