Stall or new weight body set point? Latest Pics!

[Lisa's Hope 421]

Whatever it is, I'm ready to start losing again. I had gotten 20 pounds from my goal and now I'm 25~! Ugghhhhh I'm so ready to get this last 25 pounds of weight off and meet my goal. I'm 13 months out and haven't lost anything in 2 months! I know I'm not following my diet like I'm supposed to. I know what I need to do but I feel old habits creeping back into my life!! Sweets!!! It is so easy to eat them and they go down so well with no restriction. I'm scared! I'm scared I may gain back everything I've lost which is 115 pounds. It was 120 but I've gained 5 pounds. I just have to get a hold on this and get back on track. I can't go back. I just can't!!!! I know what I need to do, I just needed to vent. I've not been drinking enough Water or getting enough Protein in. I've been suffering with low blood pressure to for a few weeks. I know it is from not drinking enough or taking care of myself. Why oh WHY would I want to go back to bad habits and not take care of myself?? I don't know. When I look at the pics I've attached. I know I've lost but I'm not satisfied. I want more! I want to make my goal!!

I feel for you Lisa. I'm 13 months out too. I stopped losing just short of my goal, and nothing I've done has changed my weight. What's really hard is when you're strict and the weight still doesn't move. Makes it hard to be strict...makes me wanna cheat a little. And I have. Those sweets you mentioned...oh yes they do go down way too easy. I'm trying to turn it around though. But it takes that same kind of determination and motivation we had when we first took the plunge and had surgery. We have to dig down deep and find that.

Lisa, u look fantastic! I am only 6 wks out and have already learned that sweets are the devil in disguise. I thought I would no longer be interested in them. But let a box of donuts sit next to you all day and u could swear they are sirens luring u in. I am developing a strategy to keep me safe. 1. Walk away. They bring these deicacies in at work all the time. When they were calling to me, I literally got up and walked away. Went for a walk around the block. 2. Have a healthy snack available at all times. 3. If someonr tries to force the bd cake on u, tell them u are allergic. You are, it makes u breakout in fat. Lol. But I am preaching to the choir. You've got this. You know yourself better than anyone after this amazing journey you have been on. You can do it. Maybe change up ur exercise routine. Find a Fluid u like and put a ring on it. Lol. Not getting enough fluid would make anyone stall. That is how ur body gets rid of toxins and fat. Doc told me if u dont get enough fluid your body will try to hold on to it. You r an inspiration to us newbies and Butterbean too. You look"mahhvalus darling".

Lisa, I'm sorry to read the frustration in your post, but if you only knew what an inspiration what you HAVE lost is to us newbies, you might feel a tiny bit better! You have come SO far, and you look amazing! You might feel very discouraged right now, but from the outside looking in I see someone who has battled their way to this point and will surely succeed! Don't give up, you can lose those last few pounds. You have done a great job, and it shows!!
