[indiangirl90 1]

I was sleeved 2/18. Was not required to lose any weight pre-op, I infact was 1 pound heavier on the day of the surgery. I have lost 26 pounds since.

Starting weight: 222

Goal weight : 120

Also my height is 5.5.

Best of luck to all!

Folks, I wouldn't adjust your diet at this point simply because you're at a stall. Stalls are normal. It's your body adjusting to your new weight. I bet during stalls if you measured inches instead of weight, that's where you'd see a change. Just don't worry and keep doing what you're supposed to do and the weight will come off.

Again, You'll hit a few stalls during your weight loss journey. It's normal.

Me 2... It's so depressing when you stall.. U feel like is this it?! Is this all I'm going to loose? I walk alot drink plenty of fluids... & stalling 3weeks now the scale has not moved.. I'm thinking I'm I over eating? Even tho I can't eat much? Like what is happening :-(

Do you have a goal set for yourself? A date you'd like to hit that goal?

I turn 50 in May of 2014. I set a target to hit my goal weight by that date. That's about 59 weeks from now to lose another 95 lbs. Based on what others have done, that's a very conservative target... so I won't disappoint myself with stalls throughout. I suggest you do something similar.

I created a spreadsheet to set a weekly target weight and spread it out between now and target date. I suspect that my weight between now and then will go above and below my target line... but I'm treating that like the stock market. There will be ups and downs along the way, but the long term direction will be down.

I'm in the midwest, and as soon as the weather turns, I'll be getting on my bike and riding. I hope to get in 750 miles this summer. It's the only exercise I really enjoy. I purchased my bike a few years ago and didn't skimp. Got myself a real nice hybrid bike that fits me like a glove and is very comfortable for me to ride.

Don't worry folks.... just follow what your surgeon says and you'll do well long-term.

The only thing I did was increase the intensity of my work out. I added incline and additional time to my treadmill.

I think I also want to purchase a bike.

I love my hybrid bike (sort of a mix between road and mountain). I recommend Performace Bike, as they have good prices and good selections... and great help. There might be one in your area: http://www.performancebike.com
