Wow! I've had stalls (3 to be exact) and have never lost 7 lbs in 1 week. I'm so envious! Congratulations!

I was so excited when I stepped on the scale this morning. I don't know how I did it. Just upped my Water, calories, and exercise. I guess that broke it. Hadn't lost any weight since week 4. 3 weeks worth of nothing. Then pound by pound everyday this week. 54 pounds gone forever :-)

Still no loss. I am in the stall from hell. I just wanted to lose 5 pounds for this challenge and somehow I have not managed to lose a pound. I gained a pound last week but lost it again. Holding steady here at ~147 give or take some ounces. Anyone with any ideas? I have been here for about 3-4 weeks now. I realize I am 10 months out now and the last 10-12 pounds would be slow but this is nonexistent. I go on vacation tomorrow and was sure hoping to be at least a normal weight by then (which is 2 pounds from now).

Hey there,

Just some thoughts. I'm certain you are eating right, but maybe your body has adjusted to whatever routine you are doing. Depending on what track you are following (calories/ carbs, etc), maybe consider upping a bit? Or, maybe go the other way. You know your body best, but I would try to find a way to shock your metabolism somehow. Your stall will break, have faith. I'm struggling too. Just did my first Zumba class yesterday to help with more calorie burn. It was a blast. I was 2 left feet, but still had fun.

I'm in! I'm currently at 178. I hope to lose at a rate of about 2 pounds per week so I'll shoot for a 10 pound weight loss.

GOAL WEIGHT 168

I'm right on track. 2pound loss puts me at 176. 8 more to go!

I missed changing my weight here last week, but I'm down 4.

CW - 172

Challenge Weight - 168

4 more to go!

Today I weigh 146.6 lbs. So, I've made my 4th of July challenge. :) I know that I may bounce up some but I'm going to take this loss and run with it. :) I'm totally excited! Now to get a plan for maintenance. That's the scary part. I will have to switch my obsession to exercise now and not weight loss. I can do 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.

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