Stuck at -65lbs - scale won't budge!



Recommended Posts

I guess it is time to really start working at this. I hate to admit but the 65 lbs I have lost, I have done with really no effort - meaning no exercise and not "really" watching what I eat. I wonder if this is what the drs mean when they say you will lose 30-50% of you body weight?

Just wanted to publicly admit that no surgery is a cure and yes you actually do have to work if you want to get to goal.

I want to get down to 230 (100 lb loss) but now as I realize my remaining loss will be work I am bummed!!

I started at 264 I got down to 186 now back to 198...200 depending on the day and time of month.. I seem to be holding steady at this weight.

I still have a few to lose before I get to me goal of 150 pounds.

I too will have to buckle down and work on it :)

Add me to the Buckle Down club.... I'll do good for a few days and poof...the old ways seep back in.

When they make a band for the brain, I'll be the first guinea pig to volunteer for it :)

I would say that i have to join this club too.. I have been fairly good this year. I am down 68 lbs *4lbs is the last week* But from april to June i maintained the same weight, (up two lbs, down two lbs).. I just restarted excercising regularly so we shall see if this will help.. My year anniversary is 8/10/06...I was hoping to be farther down..But i am happy what i have lost so far..

I know how you feel. I have lost 72 this year. I had to get unfilled about 5 months ago and was on my own. I really should have been better about exercising. I wasn't and now I am having trouble getting back to basics. I know that exercise will help. Connorsmom- could you possible need a fill? Sometimes just a little can make a difference.

I can join this club. At my last visit it was official, -5 pounds in 6 months (YES that is SIX months). I have not been eating bad or a lot, I have been exercising 5 days a week... still nothing. I have not gained anything and that is a huge plus but it does get discouraging every now and again. On the up side, my body shape has been changing this whole time, I am wearing small sized but still no scale movement. I am now trying a new defense, I have signed up at a different gym and will be working with a personal trainer to see if I can beat the scale. I have been getting fills as scheduled and I have been following all the rules diligently. I just keep plugging along and know that one of these days that scale has to move again.

I have discovered long ago, anything in life worth having is not free, someone has suffered for it. So with that in mind, keep to the plan and do what the Doc told you and it will happen.

It's like in the old kung fu movies, Master says" grasshopper see the vision live the vision and learn from the vision".

Good luck

It's hard isnt it? But its healthier to just keep plugging along slowly and sensibly.

I've resigned myself to the fact that this last 15kg could easily take longer to get off than the first 25, by a long shot. It doesnt seem to matter what I do, a kilo a month or so is all I lose. So be it. Its better than gaining and it all adds up in the end.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
