Yeah that's how I feel right now. 5 days a week busting up 1000 cals each time. Cardio weight training resistance burning it all up. Now for the kicker No inches lost no weight lost !!! A week shy of 6 months down 36/35 lbs that's it no you did not read that wrong. Water 128 oz Protein 80/100 cals 800/900 today 1300 my most ever but burnt 1600 cals. No I'm not losing inches have not in over 12 weeks I stopped counting. The past 6 weeks I have been 209/205 up and down the same lbs.

That sounds so frustrating, but you are amazing! Just keep at it girl! The pounds have got to start dropping again soon. You're probably just building so much muscle and retaining so much Water to repair those muscles after workouts that you haven't seen a drop on the scale yet, but I bet even if you aren't losing pounds or inches, that you are looking and feeling better anyway! It's not all about the measurements. Congrats on your hard work and your fantastic stick-to-it attitude!!

^ I agree. You are burning more calories than u are eating. That puts you at a deficit before you even start. Your attitude is good for us out here, but as a fellow fat person I would have said the same thing and still been beating myself up. Try not to do that if you can because you are doing everything right...only tging you my want to have a couple higher calorie days and see what happens, make sure you eat a large amount of Protein as a part of those calories if you can. This will correct any Protein deficits you have and tell your body you are not starving.

I have read a good book on this called "smart exercise" it explains how the body reacts to exercise

First of all let me say you are awesome! You are a fighter and you will win! I have read that when people hit stalls they add extra calories for a few days. Then they go back to normal calorie intake and it seems to break the stall.... Just a thought... You have to do what you are comfortable with! Best Wishes keep up the good work! Tina

I agree with Tsnewsrart, I think you might need to increase your calories too. I know it's hard, I can't imagine more than 800 but I think if you do increase you'll shock your system and maybe jump start weight loss again. Its worth a try if you've tried everything else in my opinion. Good luck! Keep doing what you're doing as far as exercise tho cuz you are doing awesome! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
