@newgrandmother, hey fellow September sleever!!! I am so glad I am not alone. I have been having the same issues with myself. I haven't lost weight in the last few months and I THINK I'm still doing ok, but I have come to this conclusion. I have lost approximately 140 lbs since I started my journey, that's a whole person!!! Not wishing this on myself but if I don't lose any more weight I'm happy with where I am now. I am more aware of my eating habits and I wouldn't have loss that much weight on my own.

So I guess I'm saying don't give up, just hang in there. Our 1 year is approaching fast and I know you feel better now than you did a year ago, I know I do.

Keep up the great work that you have done so far and never give up on yourself, YOU GOT THIS GIRL!!!!!

you are definitely not alone. I am at 5 months and when things start to slow I get worried it is happening to me. I don't know if it will help but I have decided that on every three month surgeryversary to go on a 1-week preop type liquid diet. it helped me at 3 months to get things going again and I plan to do it again at 6 months. I usually have 1200 cals a day and going to 800 for a weeks seems to kick things up. I also have not gone too crazy exercising yet (just walking) because I feel like saving things in my back pocket for further slowing issues to step things up! I think the 5:2 or a week of liquid diet then back to normal may get your metabolism going. I also recommend tracking everything on myfitnesspal if you don't already. sometimes you may think you are tracking okay but it helps to keep me honest and I know for sure what the Protein and especially sugar grams are. keep sugar under 25g and you WILL lose!

I am kenmj11 on MFP if you want to friend me. I have a long way to go too! good luck and be proud!
