Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted May 26, 2013 Well 5 bites of food isn't enough to get your metabolism going. Increase your calories to about 1000 and go back to basics for about 5 days. BTW what do you eat ? Portion sizes etc? 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted May 26, 2013 $144 lbs but need to lose 50 more.why am I still not losing? BBGirl you lost $144.00?? Hee Hee - i know where it is!!! you had WLS june 2011 - benefit of the doubt - you might have lost the 144 lbs in 14 months or so???? bringing us to about september, october 2012? this is an awful long stall - and i can't imagine how bad you must feel I hate to say it but "maybe" your body has adjusted to where your weight is now it (your body) might be saying ............... "hey bud you've lost 144 lbs - maybe thats where we're gonna stop) but maybe its not saying that gotta cover my a ssssssssss you are eating sooo little at 2 years PO you are physically unable to eat more than 5 or so bites??? I agree maybe upping your calories a bit would help congrats on your amazing weight loss of 144 lbs (not $'s LOL) good luck kathy 2 M2G and Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M2G 1,836 Posted May 28, 2013 My body went into "maintenance" before I was ready, so I understand the frustration! I've since accepted that I'm not going to get to a "normal" BMI, but I will would like to lose another -20lbs. Working on it and knowing I'm not there yet is frustrating also, but I keep chipping away at it and never EVER give up! 1 Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBWOMAN 9 Posted May 28, 2013 Thank you for keeping me motivated and encouraged. I thought I was the only one but I did fine out why I also stop. My doctor said my Thyroid is not Active. So I have to have that checked out. But thanks again, keep at. We'll get there. Sent from my iPhone using VST 1 Kalimomof3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted May 28, 2013 doctor said my Thyroid is not Active. BBGirl I've taken synthroid for many years for my thyroid maybe your doc will put you on that or something else repeating from "up above" post #3 i'm the smiling one waving my hand at ya eating about 5 bites and not being able to eat more???not hungry???? I'm kindof jealous!! like i said maybe up the calories - but if you can't eat more..... or maybe have an extra snack adding more calories you need to keep your metabolism going do you still have a nutritionalist you can talk to for suggestions/help lost 144 lbs!!!!??? don't go looking for it take care good luck kathy congrats 1 M2G reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
