Ms.Yvette 96 Posted September 18, 2013 I'm still pre op but 85 pounds is great. When have you been able to lose that in your own? Everyone had stalls. Don't get on the scale every day. Try monthly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.Yvette 96 Posted September 18, 2013 I hit send to quickly. You lost almost 100 pounds. That's amazing. Don't worry, you're doing great. Keep up the good work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peggy 53 69 Posted September 18, 2013 Increase your Protein, decrease your carbs and drink plenty of Water. Your protein should be about 60 grams and if you really want to rock your carbs, bring them down to about 80 grams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meldy75803 3 Posted September 18, 2013 I don't hit the scale often. Just got use to seeing a new number all the time. My surgery was easy and now I'm doing the real work. Every time someone says I took the easy way out hasn't paid attention to what hard work is about Just a little frustrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilbearzmom 584 Posted September 18, 2013 I stall like that all the time- for two to three weeks, nothing, then 5-6 lbs in a week. I think it's normal. I am 5 lbs from goal and sure as heck staying OFF the scale for awhile or I might go nuts! Great job so far!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indecision 863 Posted September 18, 2013 Seems very normal to me. Stalls happen and then bang more weight comes off. Just keep at it and you will do fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NtvTxn 1,262 Posted September 18, 2013 I've stalled at 85lbs. My starting weight was 324. How can I kick start loosing again. I've been stuck for about two weeks. Please tell me this is normal. Just a little down. Like a previous poster said, up your Protein and liquids. Also, let me ask you a few things. Are you weighing and/or measuring your food? Are you logging your food? Are you attending a support group? Are you weighing daily? These are things I do, this is my new normal, my new life, as natural to me as breathing. I call it my dashboard, the numbers let me know what is going on 'under the hood'. If I go up a couple pounds, all I do is cut back my calories by 100 - 200 for a few days, and I'm back within my comfort zone. This is what works for me. I know how quickly I can gain eight or ten pounds, it is much easier to lose two or three!! This is what works for me, there is no end date with this, it's forever, not like WW, where I got tired of going to meetings, quit, went back to normal eating and re-gained! Know what I mean??!!!! I've been maintaining for over 2.5 years. Anyway, I hope this helps in some way. (East Texas? Where at?) We lived near Tyler for about 20 years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adcrag1 15 Posted September 23, 2013 Hi don't sweat it, actually you should sweat at the gym & keep eating right. That happened to me and I just kept eating & exercising and then I started losing again. Good luck to you!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
