If you're in a stall...there is hope!

[300PoundsDown 101]

I just wanted to let everyone know there is hope if you're in a stall. I am only about 6 weeks out so I'm early but I did suffer through an almost 3 week stall. Which means the majority of my weight loss thus far has been from pre-op diet and first 3 weeks after surgery. I was losing 1 lb a day and then I lost NOTHING for 3 straight weeks. It was driving me insane b/c I am not getting to eat my favorite foods, when I do eat it's a few bites and yet no movement on the scale at all. Very frustrating and depressing. I'm walking and I'm following the rules. Then every morning...nothing. In fact I even went up 2 lbs and then down and then up and then down. The same 2 lbs! Well finally this week the scale decided to move again. I'm back to losing 1 lb a day. Crazy, right? I have done NOTHING different. Same thing, same level of exercise. So now I must remember the next time I stall to just chill out. Everyone told me to wait it out but a part of me believed that my body was going to defy all scientific logic!

hi-

I am also in a stall...

I have upped my exercise, and was back to work,

I started counting my cals. 450/day...

so- am I eating too little? am I in starvation mode?

I find this week- after work- I crash for two hours, I don't find my self tired- yet these afternoon naps, kinda come on- and I awake- and wow- my afternoon is gone.

the upside- I stopped by where my daughter works, the owners were there- she said- wow-you look amazing... yur "like normal now" so does it really matter if the scale goes down or not?

I look normal.. am I soo brain washed I want to be below normal? All I see is this fat tummy and flabby arms and legs...
