I feel your pain I am 4mo. and have stayed about the same for the last month! I have lost 45lbs but wish this stall would end. I think I will try cutting carbs and up the protien as my hair has been thinning should probably increase my exercize routine.. I have read alot of blogs seems like this happens to many but eventually passes we just have to have faith and do what we can. Good luck! If you find something that breaks the stall be sure and post.

I'm at the same place. Almost five months out and my weight loss has slowed to a sluggish crawl. It swings back and forth two or three pounds and finally nudged down a pound this morning. But it's crazy slow for how much food I'm NOT eating.

I also hit the temporary hair loss thing at four months, and from what I've been reading, your body just kind of shuts down a bit at this time.

Patience isn't my best virtue, but I'm working on it. I know by exercising and only eating healthy things, I'll get there eventually.

But it always seems to help if I can commiserate with other folks, so thanks for the shoulder.

I can only imagine that it's very frustrating. I am having the surgery on June 13th and know that I'll probably experience times where my body does the same thing. I think it's good to remember that we didn't gain all of the weight overnight, so it's going to take time to get it all off which is a benefit to us anyway since it allows time for our body to adjust. Hang in there, I'm sure you will be dropping pounds again soon. Have you tried increasing your protien intake?

I am stalled at 5 weeks. I think it is so hard to deal with mentally because you know you are only eating about a cup of food all day long. Some days not even that. I've seen so many success stories and I am determined to be one of them. Protein in first and all.
