Hi guys was llokign for some tips and ideas maybe tell me what i can do.. I have lost 50 pounds so far but in the last 3 to 4 weeks ive stopped losing completly actully gained a few pounds, i switched jobs before that i work night shift walking about 7 out of the 12 hours a night, all the meals are cooked i dont eat horribly anymore, i also run 2 miles a day on the tredmill i know that dosent seam like much but at 280 pounds its hard for me but i push through it, i just dont understand, before i dident eat very well and dident really excersize and i was losing weight.... i thought hey i can do this ramp it up s i switched jobs started seing a diettician and started going to the gym and now im not losing weight..... im so confused please help me.

i waited almost 12 weeks before my first feill because my swelling was too bad, dont worry you will get your fill and keep up the great work

well i realizated a few things its been way to long since i came on here i need to come on here more i need support i cant do this alone i am week sometimes i am strong most of the time everybody makes mistakes losing the weight wont make me happy with myself i need to deal with my issues i need to talk to someone who has been through this i need to stoping comparing myself to others i can do this any number lost on the scale is a success i have friends that arnt supporting me and i dont deserve it i still love to dance and i miss doing it it takes time to overcome the habits i have made in the last 23 years if i slip and eat something bad, i need to stop feeling guilty and just deal with it dont let falling off the wagon deter me from getting back on everybody makes mistakes i want to love myself and be proud of what i have done

Thanks for the suggestions, im not sure how many calories im taking in i see the dietican we talk about food choices but not about how much calories are in each food, im not sure about that point.Thanks and congrats on your weight loss as well
