I'm almost certain I'm going into maintenance even though I still weigh 225 pounds. Is this normal? Is this my body's "set point"? Trying not to be discouraged, but I've been within the same three pounds for over a month. Could this just be a stall brought on by lack of exercise as I heal from knee surgery? Advice is appreciated! D:

Girl, you have lost SO much so fast and had knee surgery! I am sure your body is concentrating on healing your knee and then catching up on the loss. It will start up again - I'm sure of it! And 5 pounds a month would be reasonable after all you have lost , so don't be discouraged. I thought mine had stopped and then without real reason, I dropped 10 pounds in maybe 16 days that got me to goal and finished my weight loss. It was very odd and unexplainable. Our bodies are wondrous machines doing WAY more than we can imagine! And you have proven that you can do this. Hang in there!!

I think we got so used to the 10-15 pound losses that anything less than that feels like a stall.... I'm a little over a year out now and the losses have slowed waaaay down. I'm noticing how my body is not working hard to do simple things anymore so I'm just not burning as fast. Don't be discouraged though. The journey isn't over.
