CupofJojo 68 Posted August 6, 2014 I seem to be stuck in the 180's for the past few months. My starting weight was 266, my SD weight was 253 and I have about 40ish lbs to go. Surgery was Feb 24. I'm 5'3 and will be 40 in September. Im not sure if a stall this long is normal. BUT I am definitely grateful with how far I've come!!!

loosinginSD 11 Posted August 6, 2014 I have stalls too... I have been steady at around 1lb per week for a few weeks. When this happens, I say go back to the basics, just like it was in the beginning. HW 280 SW 264 Currently 215 Yeah!!! 1 onlybroomegirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My restriction is still pretty "tight" so I might not be getting enough calories in. I still have to "remind" myself to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

onlybroomegirl 250 Posted August 8, 2014 I bought a belt this week! Was on my list of NSVs preop. I also squeezed into a size 8 dress!!! Granted it is stretchy, but the tag has a single digit! Registering the kids for school today. Will see a lot of people that I haven't seen in 3 months. Hoping all goes well. How is everyone doing? 2 CupofJojo and mrslb5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted August 12, 2014 I had surgery on Feb 11th. I started at 262 and have lost 60 pounds. I am stuck at 202 and have been here for over a month. I don't know how to get out of this stall. I started losing hair at 3 months so I increased my red meat and added olive oil to my diet to increase the good fats. Now at 6 months I think the Hair loss has stopped, or at least slowed down. I do have a little bit of shedding. My hair is blonde so it shows up on my clothing if I wear anything dark. I am 59 so I think the age has a lot to do with the slow down in weight loss. I just realized today is my 6 month anniversary. Life is good...now if I could just get back on the losing track again. 1 onlybroomegirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SandeeD 363 Posted August 13, 2014 My surgery date was 2/25 and I'm down 57 pounds. I'm doing ok for the most part, but I get a one to two week stretch when my stomach is uncomfortable....like now. Anybody else have that problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcginn0425 48 Posted August 14, 2014 6 months yesterday and have lost 91 pounds. I'm definitely noticing the weight loss slowing down. Frustrating, but I keep reminding myself how far I've come. Starting weight 297, currently 206. Can't wait to get under 200 pounds!! I definitely don't see myself like other people see me and don't like people saying I'm small/skinny (maybe when I'm under 200 I'll feel better). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
