I just keep active... Walk several miles a day and go to the gym 2-3 days a week...i still only have a Protein Shake for breakfast...cottage cheese or yougrt for lunch and a lite dinner... Usually chicken of some sort...

Wallman-do you track your calories at all? I go to the gym 3 days a week. I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast, usually a chicken sausage for lunch & Protein for dinner plus nuts as a snack. Must be that guys burn it quicker :-(

I was sleeved 9/12. Started at 333 and down to 260. Lost about 75 in total. Have been in major stall over past few months.m unfortunately I am able to eat a lot more and my bad habits are coming back.

I also lost a lot of muscle mass so feeling weak especially at night.

Any suggestions?

Whatever-why have you lost muscle mass? Exercise is very important as it will help you burn calories. I was sleeved 9/12 also & have consistently lost every single month-I haven't had one month that I didn't lose. I have lost 107.8 lbs so far!! I have been on 3 cruises since I was sleeved & I did allow myself to indulge. It shook up my metabolism & I lost a lot those months. Keep your goal in sight & do NOT give up!!

Shewolf.

Good for you. When the weight started coming off I stopped exercising. I'm starting back in the gym and will try to keep on track.

How about your food intake? Has it changed over the year?

[shewolf143 57]

Whatever-I try to work out at least 3 times a week but I don't kill myself doing it. I do about 30 min. My food has stayed about the same...I do not eat any bread, rice, Pasta, junk food or fried foods. One day a month I splurge & have something I normally wouldn't eat like fried clam strips or Thai food. I will have a small piece of dark chocolate a couple of times a month but that is it. I still have my Protein Shake in the mornings. I still eat about 1/4 c of food & I always have a morning snack (usually nuts) & an afternoon snack (cheese or pepperoni chips) & an evening snack-maybe nuts again. So I am getting 3 meals & 3 Snacks throughout the day.
