When I stalled doctor said I was in a high level of ketosis and to try slightly increasing carbs and Protein. I did and it kicked it up Good Luck ????

That is awesome your feeling so good. I can't wait for that!!! I have had issues and my healing is slow I just started to eat food 3 weeks ago being on liquids left me very weak. Now I am ready to workout and feel stronger. I am so glad everyone is doing so well. Keep it up ????????????

Surgery 11/5 and as of today I'm down 87.2 lbs. Only 2.9lbs away from onderland! woop! For exercise I go to group fitness classes and mix up cardio and strength. I haven't tried Yoga or Pilates yet. Really just working on the cardio but making sure I add some strength in which will help tighten up the skin. Plus muscle burns fat. This is my normal weekly schedule (each class is 60 minutes);

M - Flirty Girl Fitness (dancing)

T - Body Pump (strength)

W - Zumba

T - Kickboxing

F - Zumba

Saturday - Sculpt (strength) followed by Kickboxing. And then I collapse on Sunday. LOL

Hi November 2013 surgery group! I am so excited I had this surgery I am still in awe of my WLJ! My surgery date was 11-11-13 and I am down 83lbs. My husband had the RNY 11-11-13 as well same day right after me and he has lost 85lbs. I truly believe it has made our journey easier doing this together. I am so grateful to you all please keep me posted on your WLJ!

I had my surgery November 19th and have lost 85 but I am stalled I have weighed 182 for a month and can't seem to lose it I wanna lose 60 more pounds! I'm increasing Water and Protein and now doing water aerobics!

I hear you here! Had RNY a day before you... Lost 70 and now have weighed 184 for 5 weeks! Ugh... Need 24 more off! This is no longer a stall. My team says it is ok as they want it too slow way down as you get close to goal... I don't. Getting 100g of protein, 64 oz fluids, under 800 cal a day and under 40g carbs... Come on !!! Good luck to you also

At 6 month mark and have been at a stall for a month! Wait I lied shows I gained 2 pounds!? Hope this passes soon because I am only half way with the pounds I want to lose. Very frustrating, maybe the lack if my B12 shot being delayed a month because pharmacies around town could not get them due to back order.

I had stalled too. I was told up my Protein make sure to take all your Vitamins and up my cardio by 10-15 minutes. Within a week the scale moved. Its been moving slowly but its still moving. Hang in there its only 6 months we keep losing for a year to 18 months WE WILL GET THERE

Hi all..I had my surgery on 11-19-13 and I'm down 80 lbs! I want to lose another 85 but it's going slowly lately:( I walk over a mile about 4 days a week and I do a little bit of the elliptical but it's really hard for me to do the elliptical! I'm right around 1000 calories a day..I see a nutritionist monthly to keep me on track as well..hopefully the scale starts moving again!

Hey! I had my surgery on 11/5 and am down exactly 99lbs...that 1lb is going to be a stinker! When I got into "onederland" was an awesome milestone, now this 100lb mark will be the next!! Congrats to every one else on the weight loss! I am averaging 2-2.5lbs a week and when I stall I find its because I'm not getting enough calories or Protein so once I increase those it picks right back up. I do workout 60 minutes a day 6 days a week and eat about 800-1000 calories per day. I miss chocolate something fierce!!

[Janifer 42]

Thank you Ladies for inspiring me! I will be sure to get my Protein in... After reading your replies I realized a few days here and there not meeting my Protein goals may be just the thing that has put me in this stall. I will definitely apply your advice and hopefully get back on track. I have lost about 85 pounds but I am only half way there actually not half yet because I want to lose another 100 pounds.

Thank you again for your words of encouragement! We will succeeded!

My treats are small piece of dark chocolate. .4 oz cup of flan..or I've been doing magic pop with whipped cream cheese and all fruit jam! I always allow myself one small treat so I don't feel deprived:) what about you guys?
