Good week here. I have passed my original goal of 140, am 2 lbs from by surgeon's goal of 130 and 7 lbs from a normal BMI. I thought I was slowing down but 2 lbs gone this week even when I didn't do much exercise because of my knee.

Last week 134
This week 132
Loss, 2 lbs

I haven't been in this weight range since the late 80's. I got down into the 120's for a brief time after GB surgery when doing WW. The surgery was the only reason I ever reached goal with them. I sure couldn't maintain it.

Price, when you are exercising and maintaining the same amount of calories for a length of time, your body may go into starvation mode and hang on to every oz it has...this week, you didn't exercise so your body was able to think it was okay and not starving. So it cooperated and dropped some weight.

Good going on your loss and getting closer to a normal BMI. Liz

Well I bumped up my activity this week to only loose .20 pounds...hmm that is irritating!! Probably still not eating enough calories but still have no desire to eat much other than my protein coffees..

HW: 260? SW: 242 Surgeons GW: 150 First GW: 140 Second GW: 130 CW: 122

Try adding some more carbs, I saw a recommendation of 100 more a day til you level out but not gain.

Good luck

Try adding some healthy fats, like avocado, nuts, olive oil. Some of research suggests adding healthy fats in place of carbs may be better for us. Healthy fats have a lot of calories in a small amount and are good for our lipid profile and cardiovascular health.

Maybe, it's possible.

I saw this post that listed a blog, here is Breaking A Stall:

One of the members of OH had this post:
By Pam
I replied to a thread on OH earlier today and thought I'd copy it here for future reference. Weight loss stalls and plateaus are very common after WLS -- or any type of weight loss program. We didn't gain weight steadily over the years and we will not lose weight every day or week when we're losing weight it's not going to melt off every day or week. It's frustrating, but it's all part of the process and we just have to be patient and work through these little bumps in the road. But when the scale hasn't moved for a couple weeks or months - this is the perfect time to take a very close look at what we're doing and figure out if we need to make change. Have we allowed bad habits to creep back in or are there adjustments to routines that need to be made to jumpstart the weight loss again? Here's a list I typed up earlier:
•Are you tracking your food intake in a food journal? Is it on track?
•Are you tracking every single calorie that passed your lips? (flavored water, vitamins, gum, single pieces of candy) Even if you aren't keeping track of calories, your body is!
•Are you eating too MANY calories?
•Are you eating too FEW calories?
•Are you taking in enough protein? 80-100g/day
•Are the fats you're eating healthy (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated)
•Are you eating too many simple carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes, sugar, pasta, rice)
•Are you eating enough fruits and veggies?
•Are you drinking enough water (water flushes fat toxins from our body)?
•Are you grazing?
•Are you eating the right quantity? Measuring and weighting foods?
•Are you eating on a schedule?
•Are you exercising hard enough? Long enough? Fast enough?
•When's the last time you changed your exercise routine? (The body becomes efficient and doesn't burn as many calories after we've done the same thing for 4-6 weeks)
•Have you added weight training to your workouts? (muscle burns more calories at rest)
•Are you taking all your vitamins and supplements?
•Have you started taking any new medications that might promote weight gain?
•Have you taken your measurements (you might be losing inches even if the scale isn't moving)
Also, here's a great post by DxE that has a ton of information that might trigger ideas in some other areas to break a plateau.
Hope this helps...

Something in that list might help.
