slow downs happen all over the place, some generally effect everyone at the same time, but lots are just all over the board individual occurrences. Having a higher starting BMI, you can drop some serious amounts of weight, your call out stats appear to show 100 lbs already since March, which is fantastic. Pay attention to your BMR, the amount of calories you burn just from being alive. As we age, and as we lose weight, this number drops. So we have to adjust our routine to keep the weight loss the same rate (or just accept the changes) https://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/bmr So for you, without knowing your age, I'll just assume 35 Your starting BMR was 3042 calories per day Today your BMR would be 2607 calories per day That's a rather large change in caloric burn per day , 435 calories less per day are getting burned, just because you lost 100 lbs. So, keep tracking your intakes, keep your water intake in the 128oz range if possible, and keep exercising. You'll either need to accept the slower weight loss or change your daily exercise or intake or both to cover the 435 calorie change to keep your original caloric deficit the same. Hope that helps!

Thanks Matt Z. I always learn so much from your posts. I think this will help my current slow crawl that I am in. I appreciate all of your advice and guidance.

Ok... turn this around and look at the positives. Did they cancel on you? No. Did they reschedule you? Nope. Just take the win where the win is. I get that you don't want to wait any longer and having to wait the whole day seems rough, but, it's better than if they postponed it on you.

I looked at back of a bottle after I posted the question and was surprised at the numbers. Carbs=16g, Calories=60 and sugar=16g. I had no idea, thought it was natural so it would be ok for you. WOW.

I'm had mine on 7/31 and got home about 3 pm. I'm struggling to get my fluids in but I went for IV therapy today and was also given Toradol in my IV. I notice when I got home that I was able to drink bigger sips than yesterday. I was told to aim for a minimum of 60 g of protein for the first 2 weeks and that's 2 shakes at 22 fluid oz plus 64 oz of water. I might be able to take the liquid from the shake out of my water to get my 64 but I don't think I'll be getting 64 oz of just water today. I can't start on soft foods until the 3rd week. uggg Hang in there! We can do it!

Thanks, Everyone!
