I am 4yrs out and have lost 132 pounds I started at 353lbs . I just posted as well I have not lost anymore I know lot has to do with the fact that I can eat more things then I use to and eat much more. I am at lost b/c I want to get these 40 or so lbs off- I tried going back to basics its not working I feel hungry more often if I eat like I did in the begining. So any help you can give as well as i can I will post

I also had that problem being stuck at a weight...Thats when you have to exercise because those are stubborn pounds. I also had to increase my liquid intake and protein intake. Then all of a sudden I dropped off 20lbs...when building muscle you convert fat into muscle your weight loss stops, muscle weighs more then fat..but then you will drop off a bunch at a time. I hope that helps. Good Luck!! linda

I just think It is an balance between Calories and protein. I stoped loosing and the doctor said I should eat more as i was at 870 cal .He said to take It up to 1100 and that did it the pounds are comming off again..

If you are following the rules & not losing weight you probably need a fill.
