Weight loss stalled after 6 months

[Armymama 1]

I had my 6 month post surgery check up recently. The nurse warned me that my weight loss would slow dramatically at this point. I've lost 104 pounds so far and would love to lose 15 more. I've been stuck for 3 weeks at the same weight. I know I'm probably being greedy but I'd really like to lose this last 15 pounds. Any suggestions? Anyone else have their weight loss virtually stop? I record everything I eat, I have between 700 and 800 calories a day and work out for an hour a day (in two 1/2 hour segments). Before surgery it was so hard for me to lose anything. My weight never seemed to budge. I'm wondering if my body is going back to it's old ways?

Congrats on the weight loss...and yes, stalls are common. I have had three in the last 9 months. I also just have another 10 pounds to go and the doctor said they will be the hardest...just keep doing what you are doing. Throw in more walking, if you can, it helps a lot and make sure you are drinking lots of Water. It will start going again. the good news is you are probably loosing inches now!

Thank you! That makes me feel better. I can walk more, especially on weekends.
