The Last 60 Lbs

[Nikki_1985 32]

So I had my surgery on Feb 29, 2012. I have lost 115 lbs and I'm coming up on the final 60 lbs. However I have stalled something fierce. I have not lost any weight the past 3 weeks. Did anyone else have a hard time with that final stretch. I heard you lose a majority of your weight in the first year. I really wanna reach my goal weight by Feb but at this rate its not gonna happen. Just wondering if the last 50-60 lbs was hard for anyone else.

OMG! I hope not!! Like you, I've lost 115 pounds, and have 64 pounds left to lose...and, while I have until June 2013 to hit my "yearaversary", I'm really hoping it isn't a struggle the entire way between now and then!!

Wishing you great success!

60 is about all I'm looking to lose so I sure hope not

I have 60 or so more to lose. I've lost 76 pounds so far since 5/21/12. It is getting so hard to lose now! I will lose a couple of pounds and stall. It is discouraging but I'm trying really hard to stay motivated. I expected it to be hard when I get 30 pounds from goal but now? :/

It sounds like you are doing fine. There is even a good argument or two for doing a small maintenance period after about 100 lbs.

Stalls are common, just seacrh the topic here you will come up with 100's of topics and replies.

When we lose weight it isn't just about the burning the calories thus reducing the lipids. You body can store other things it anticipates it will need as you lose weight. It will shed them, however. You can have a stall break quickly, or slowly, a pound at a time, or WHOOSH!

You are on the right track, log your foods. If not already consider checking out myfitnesspal.com. You got this, let it take time if it needs to.

have lost 115 lbs and I'm coming up on the final 60 lbs. I have stalled something fierce. not lost any weight the past 3 weeks.

hey bud

you are 7 and 1/2 months PO, down 115 lbs OMG!!!!!!

don't hurt your back but...... take a few bows

don't hurt your arm, but.........you can pat yourself on the back too

stalls are nasty, but we all have to deal with them. you want to loose 50-60 more lbs? don't worry it will happen

3 weeks, no weight loss, I think you are in a "regular" stall that hopefully will end sooner than later

when you are closer to goal, thats when those last lbs. seem to take forever before they are gone

God grant me patience, just hurry up about it

good luck
