[patmagdou 2]

I am new to know this. This is my first post but I been reading what everyone else wrote and am getting motivated again. My husband and I both had surgery 1 week apart in july. We we're going great losing approx 4 pounds or so a week but now he is stuck at 54 and I am stuck at 41 for over a week now. Any suggestions?

It sounds good to say 27 lbs lost but....i guess i expected more. Is my expections wrong?

Is this normal? Did anyone do the same?

The less u weigh the slower it takes to loose the weight. Hang in there it will happen.

I'm at stall I guess the last 24 pounds are the hardest. Plus my baby is sick so sick haven't been exercising.

In a stall myself, it really is true the less you weigh the slower it goes. Still hovering around onederland but not entering in. Just watched a program about a study by the NIH (National Institute of Health). They followed a number of people who lost and maintained a significant weight loss. What they discovered is very interesting. If you diet down to a lower weight let's say 150 lbs, normally on all the charts it will take a certain amount of calories to maintain that weight. That is true for anyone who has been at that weight but has never been overweight, if you diet to that weight you will have to eat 20% less calories to maintain the weight forever. So two women at 150 one can eat 2000 calories to stay at the weight if she has never been overweight but if she dieted to that weight she can only eat 1600 calories to maintain it forever. Doesn't that expain why weight can really creep up when we think we are not eating very much! They have not yet figured out why. I discussed with my nutritionist and she said she had just received some training that backed this up and that all nutritionists do not know this. Has really helped me to be much mre vigilant with my eating. Even though I am no where near my goal yet I am keeping this in my mind for future so I will not be disappointed and frustrated. Life isn't always fair is it?

6 month milestone was yesterday. I started at 285 lbs. I now weigh 204 lbs. My personal goal was to be at 200 lbs at this mark. Its been slow to come off for me but I am grateful. Also my monthly was this week so I don't know if that kept me from my goal but I cried myself to sleep last night because I have worked soooo very hard at this. I exercise feverishly yet reading these posts everyone else results are so much greater than mine. (So it seems). When I look in the mirror I still see myself 81 lbs ago. The stressful state of mind when the scale doesn't move for a week is overwhelming. I think its time to change up my workout routine. I really wish that I could afford a gym membership. I tried a free week at curves and really liked it. I'm gonna try a free week at fitness 19 next week...maybe that will get the scale moving again

Are you able to do some extended walking? Maybe in the evenings or early morning? That won't cost anything and walking fast and long can really burn those calories. Maybe at a mall?
