3months and the scale isnt budging!

It's been months and I finally feel I have good restriction, I haven't been snacking, I have my workout routines and have been eating my healthy home made meals and I can't get lower than 220-217. The number just stays in between these three numbers. How can I get it to go down?!!! Today I start a new workout class, kettle bell kickboxing which should shake my body up but what can I do about the food to get this weight off??:0/

How many calories do you think you are taking in? I have seen on other posts where people have suggested upping your calories, slightly, to accommodate for the exercise. If you are taking in 600-800 and burning 400 or more working out your body may be freaking out. Maybe try bumping your calories slightly, make sure you are getting in a post exercise shake? Keep up on your Water and don't give up.

My NUT said to up your calories by 100 per week for 2 weeks if there's no change up them by another 100.

I believe you both but it's scary. Haha. Ok I will try it with healthy Proteins. My Water intake has been great! I am a Lapband to sleeve revision and my first two months I barely felt restriction. This month I finally feel what everyone is talking about and yet the losing has slowed down. Ill try eating more Snacks. Thanks.

I stalled for the entire 5th month. It was irritating, but it eventually broke. I've read a few posts where people who are around a year or more out have had a few extended stalls.

Don't worry about it. Just keep doing what you are doing. Your body is probably still trying to figure out what is going on.

I agree with the above. I have found that my weight has several weights that it loves. These weights are usually weights that I maintained for some period of time . When I loose weight and get to these weights it is as if my body says ok we're there lets stay there. The weight will always come off if I just continue even though it is very frustrating. Keep exercising eat and drink the right amount and I will guarantee the weight will come of.

Yes i was told to increase my intake,so i set my timer every two hours to eat even when i'm not hungry,and also you could be losing inches and it will not show on the scale, i notice when i was walking on the treadmill every day my scale would not move,so i stop the exercising for a while and my scale started moving i know strange,but it's working i wil start back again,but for now it's working i probally burning up what i did not have to burn so it stall my weight loss.but keep doing what you doing it will start moving again don't get discourage,,and stay away from that scale for a while ..
