Why Am I Not Losing?

[Angela Johnson 9]

I was sleeved Feb 28th and have lost 30lbs. I have lost 1lbs in the last 2 weeks. HELP!

You are doing great! I remember hitting that dreadful 1st stall. I couldn't believe I could eat so little and stall for two weeks. Then one morning I got on the scale and I had lost 4 pounds over night! Your weight-loss journey is a process that is difficult to understand, but keep up the good work. It will be off before you know it. Best wishes on your journey.

I think everyone hits plateaus from what I have read, and I'm sure that is all that has happened. I bet you start losing again in no time. Just keep following your plan. You have already lost a lot!

2 questions: Are you logging your food on something like My Fitness Pal? And, are you exercising? Some people don't need to log, but if you're not losing, it's time to put your intake under the microscope. Try to at least walk every day if you're not doing any exercise. You might be already, but these are basic issues to start with...

Angela, I feel your pain. I was sleeved at the end of March and have only lost a couple of pounds in the last couple of weeks. But I read and read and read the threads on this forum and it gives me hope. It appears that most everyone goes through these stalls and then they come out of them. I walk and I bike and I log my food intake on My Fitness Pal. I think, at this stage (at least for me), I'm just not getting enough food in me. (around 550-750 calories/day). So, I'm probably stuck in starvation mode!

I feel confident we will both get out of this stall and start losing soon! Good luck!

Nearly everyone stalls in this time frame. It's normal! Your body just lost a lot of weight really fast so your body is holding on to what it can for a while.... Happened a lot to me. Keep doing what you're supposed to do and the scale WILL move again. Im living proof :-)

Stalls happen to everyone, plus the further out we get and the closer to goal, the slower it goes. I'm just loosing a little bit at a time now and I refuse to give up. So it's coming off in ounces. I'll take it. I need to measure myself now. Today I just found out that I am wearing a size 6 slacks now. I am so happy with that.

You guys are great, thanks. I am going to start keeping a log of what I eat and really step up the exercise.
