I don't know anything about the stalls... yet. Maybe you just need to change things up....different exercise and maybe reduce your calories by a few. have you called your nutritionist? I am sure they can give you good advice! Good luck! I don't know anything about the stalls... yet.

I haven't had my surgery yet, I am still going through all the pre-op requirements, but I have been working with my nutritionist on losing weight. I was doing great, and now I am gaining weight! I am keeping my diary of what I eat on fitness pal, and it shows that I am on track, but yet, I am still gaining some. Any suggestions?? Thanks, Karma

My Nutritionist has me keeping a diary of everything I eat, and suggested fitness pal. I have started using it, and so far I really like it! Anyone else use this?

Wow! You look Great!

Woohoo! Congratz!!!! I can't wait till I can say that
