I'm nine months out started at 250 now 160 and freakin been there for almost 2 months. Maybe this is all I will loose? I still have 20-30 lbs to loose and I"m getting quite upset. Is it possible this is IT???????? WTH?????? I won't say i'm not happy because for the most part I am but just thought the damn scale would have moved SOME over the past two months. I'm aggrevated beyond belief.

I need all the encouragement I can get....

Sorrry for venting !!!!

First, HIDE the scale for at least a month, preferably 2-3. When you do get on it, do so no more than once a month.

Also did you happen to record your measurements pre-op? If not, measure now and measure again on the date of the month when you had your surgery...example my husband does his on the 16th, I do mine on the 24th.

You may be losing inches and still not lose weight.

And another thing, try participating in Roz's Miles & Menus thread each day...if you write down what you eat, you may find the culprit.

You probably aren't done. But you may be able to jump start the process again with a little work. Lots of us believe in 100g+ of protein and low carb, for me around 30 net. Be sure you are getting your fluids in and exercising. Log your food and post on Miles and Menus. We will help if you let us.

You've lost 90 lbs. in 9 months!!

Or an average of 10 lbs. per month!!

An average of 2.5 lbs. per week!!!!

You are right on track and your body is redistributing and catching up. You're not done!

All the previous suggestions are definitely right on though, so stick to your plan and work your tool! You'll get there!

I'm 11 months out from surgery and want to lose 12 more pounds.

My weight loss has really stalled so I decided to start journaling what I'm eating with a calorie and protein count. I've also decided to ramp up my workout routine. I really think the journaling has been key and am looking forward to seeing the weight come off again.
