Weight lost stopped!

[LanceBijeaux 6]

41 Days in and the weight loss has stopped its kind of frustrating I do all the right things ....Does this happen to everyone?

It's pretty common for loss to periodically slow down/stall. Sometimes, the body just sort of says, "Hey! What's going on here!" and rebels a little. It regroups, then loss resumes.

Make sure that you're doing all the stuff that promotes loss--eating the right foods in the right amounts, getting enough exercise, getting adequate Fluid, getting enough rest. If all of those things are on target, just hang in there---the ball will start moving again :thumbdown:

I agree, you just need to be patient. Also remember as you lose weight you need fewer calories to maintain your weight so it does get a bit harder to lose as you go along.

How many calories are you consuming per day? (are you recording and measuring to keep yourself honest?) It takes a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat (you probably know this), and the amount you burn per day is your weight in pounds, times 12.

So if you are inclined to calculate you can figure out exactly how much weight you should be losing. If the scale doesn't match your calculations, it will catch up eventually.

Have you had any fills yet? I lost 20 pounds after surgery say first month and then things really hit a road block. I had one fill but really has done nothing for me cant have another one until next week. I too am weighing my food, exercising every day. Do I think I am loosing inches yes. But frustrating not to be loosing weight.
