I need some advice about getting my weight moving again.



Recommended Posts

I need some advice on getting off of this plateau. I haven't lost any weight in about 2 weeks. Yes, I know this might not be a major plateau for some, but it is for me. My weight had been falling off at 1-2 lbs a week up until now. I log everything in MFP, I exercise at least 5 days a week. My doctor put me on only 900 calories a day, which seems too low to me. I think that my body is going into starvation mode. I just had a fill on 6/3 and I haven't lost with that. I know that I am not in the green zone yet, because I am hungry every 3 hours and the pounds are just not dropping now. Any advice would be great. I feel like I am following my doctor's guideline exactly, so why am I stalling out? Thanks for any input you have. I love getting positive feed back, but please keep all the negative comments to yourself, they really make people more discouraged. I only saying that, because I have had that happen before. Thanks!935239_541659985872414_1916501414_n.jpgThe new me 42 lbs lighter!

I would bump up the calories to 1100-1200 and just make sure you are getting plenty of Protein. My Walmart just had a clearance sale of their Super whey Protein Shots - 26g. I got them for $1.00 per tube - they are usually $2.88 each. They are a lifesaver for me, no calories but a nice fruity pick-me-up.

Change up your exercise routine and probably your eating patterns. You have to shock your body off of the plateau - you can jump start it by doing liquids for a week then going in with 1100 calories and a different workout. See if that helps.

I've been threw a few plateaus and they are discouraging, but eventually the weight does start coming off again. I just figure, it is what it is. My Dr said, I can't expect the weight to come off like it did at first, just hang in there.

You're looking great, so you're doing what needs to be done. Try not to get discouraged

Thanks for the advice. I think I am going to change things up a bit and see if that helps. Maybe try some new exercises also.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
