I'm at that stage of the game where my weight loss is suppose to slow down a lot. Well, it hasn't! I mean....I don't mind...good for me but anyone else start thinking, "what if I have cancer" (having a thyroid biopsy on the 24th) I know it's crazy to think like that but who else just kept going and going. From Oct to Nov I dropped 9 more lbs. This morning I am down to 149 for the first time in my whole life. I'm not one of those people that I won't stop worrying about losing more but worry more for "is something wrong?" lol.

Who else kep on losing all that first year....I was told it would slow to 4-6 lbs a month and that was at the 6 month mark. Am I being too paranoid? lol

I'm not sure I'm right about this advice.....but,


What is your weight?  What have you already lost?  What is your goal??   If your not really near your goal...I wouldn't worry just yet...if you are ...maybe add in some more carbs (even if unhealthy) if you really want to slow down the process or need to stop wt loss...

My weight is 149....I've lost 119 lbs (I had all that on my sig...don't know where it went)My goal was 160...then 150...and now I guess 145 would be fine.  I started dropping when I added carbs and yes, I do eat healthy carbs and fruit. The more I eat, the more I lose. weird.

Lots of people are still losing at a year out.  It wasn't until I was almost 1.5 years out that I felt I was really done losing.  I was told the honeymoon period would be over about 9 months but was a lot longer than that for me.  At 2 years out Im not losing any more but I still have a lot of restriction.

What is your BMI?  Unless it's really low, I wouldn't worry to much.

Holy Smokes Roz! My BMI is 24.9 NORMAL!!!! I've never been normal!!! Woo hoo.

I may be like you and losing until my body is comfortable. I guess I can lose more and then do that bounce back thing. **happy dance**
