sunday weigh in

Price, I don't have much room to talk because I have been in the 170's for 3 months BUT I have  noticed when I'm doing low carb that if I throw in a day of higher carbs, it kind of breaks that slow down. You might try it that way you can get a better idea of what it is :)

Price, I noticed that the less weight that I had to lose, the slower the weight loss. After the first couple of months of rapid weight loss, I averaged 1-1.6 lbs/weeks. Some weeks were only 0.5 lb and I had a few 2 lb/week weight loss.

When I saw the dietician at my 6 month visit, she said to keep my calories between 800-850 cal/day and I would continue to lose, but at a slow rate. She based this amount on my level of exercise and height. She didn't want me to dip into the 700's cal/day, which I had been doing. My program also wants our protein and calories to come from food, but I do cheat with Starbuck's Skinny Lattes. Nonfat milk, sugar-free flavoring. Can't be that bad for me, could it? Good carbs.

Just keep doing what you're doing, and the weight will continue to drop. That is what I tell myself everyday.

I don't think that you are at the beginning of the end, Price.  My surgeon told me (after the initial big drop) to expect 1-2 lbs per week.  As long as I average a pound loos a week, I figure my pouch is working.  I've had faster and slower weeks.  I evaluate based on the monthly loss.  

You are doing great!

Not a bad week, except for a steak dinner last night that threw the scale a bit today. It was worth it!
