You CAN hold onto that loss @@madwife2002, I know you can! Think of it as a springboard to the next lower number, not to the higher one. I'm finding attitude makes a big difference in this for me, and hope you can enjoy seeing those numbers keep creeping down. I gotta say, I love seeing that on a person's descriptors below the name, and it's downright exciting! Congratulations!

What do you consider a significant number? I am 7 months out and hit my first major stall. It has been 3 weeks same weight but I have been considering other things like does my body have a memory of weights it has been? I have lost 130 in a year 90 since surgery and am stuck at 218. Here is my thought from age 13-25, I would weigh between 200-230 longest time I had a consistent weight. Does my body think this is normal weight? More than just fighting food, exercise and Water am I fighting something in my own body's wiring?

I keep thinking if I can break this two hundred mark I will then be in unknown area and my body will have to give in. I know might be wishful thinking but I can still hope!! My goal weight is 160-175.

That's a terrific weight loss! Congrats! I happen to think our body somehow stops or stall at places of emotional hurdle or comfort, and it seems a combination of deciding to wait it out and change some things up are what eventually move me along. My change ups are switching to different foods from my standby rut type things, and switching up exercise challenge levels and even amount of calories and fat, within a narrow margin. (Carbs I keep low and Protein high!) I hope you get through this stall soon. Is about lost my mind on this last one and realized I was getting depressed. Just when I got a doc appt and a therapist appt the scale started to move again, so go figure. That's part of my reason for thinking three a definite connection emotionally. Hang in there. You'll start losing again. Enjoy how much better you feel at this weight though. ????

My 4 week stall ended with a 7 pound weight loss registered at the Doctors. I told her I didn't believe the weight she said,she printed it out and handed it to me. Wow Happy Day

You have all been therapy for me to know that I am not alone. I just broke a 3 1/2 week stall and I am so happy. I too am on the brink of a major milestone since I am 2 lbs away from onederland and agree that my mind is playing tricks on me. I know that this is the last year that I will ever be on the 200s and I am excited for the new me in 2015! Reading posts has got me through this tough time.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
