Question:
Has anyone (light weight) stopped loosing weight @ 6months and then

continued to loose during the next 6 months? I've been stuck for 2 months, nothing moving on the scales. I'm wondering if this is a L O N G plateau? or am I done?    — Cindee A. (posted on July 19, 2002)

I did the same thing. I worked out more and did more cardio, but still nothing. I did notice a change in my clothing, but the scale wouldn't move. About the 10th month it picked up. I am one year post op and right at 100 pounds lost. Wish it was more, but no diet could have me living the way I do now. I am happy. Good Luck.

I also had a long plateau at 6 months. It lasted 6 weeks and I thought that I was done! I had never seen where anyone had mentioned such a long plateau. I started tracking my cals on fitday.com at that point, and realized that I could not lose at 1200 cals a day. As soon as I dropped my caloric intake back to 800, I started losing again. I'm guessing that at about 6 months our intake increases and my body just did not like that. Oh, and I'm also a LW, so I did consider that maybe that was the reason I stopped losing. I am 8 months p/o and have lost 10 lbs. since that time. I hope that you can figure out what you need to do to get it going again.
