Lost 100 pounds!

[NewMeLinZ 66]

Finally did it! Lost 100 pounds!!! As I write this, I am at 101.6 pounds lost!!! I am 10 months out. Started at 271. Now 169.4!! Never thought people would call me skinny, but they are and I love it! I've had some major stalls where I thought my journey was over at 60, then 80, then 95 pounds. But you can't "quit" the plan because your stomache just won't allow for overeating! Which was always my trouble before. I'd get frustrated and overeat. Now I run 4 miles 3-4 times a week and I Love my new body! Love my new life! Wish I would have done it sooner!!!!!!!!!! Yay me!!!!! I'm gonna keep on keepin' on! Let's see how low I can go!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do so many people stall? Is this only with the Sleeve? Were you pretty active pre-op? I can't even imagine running to my car much less a mile. lol

It's common with any type of weight loss. Not even unique to surgery. When I lost 90 pounds "on my own" back in 2010, I had lots of stalls along the way. Your body isn't a simple machine. It is constantly trying to adjust and adapt to everything that happens to it. Rapid weight loss is very traumatic to your body and the instinct is to try to stop the weight loss for fear of starvation. There are a whole bunch of different reactions and systems that kick in so your body can "defend" itself against whatever "attack" that is causing you to lose weight.

I agree. Also, if you are losing a significant amount of weight your body has to physically rearrange, tear down, and rebuild itself. It has to rebalance fat stores, rewire blood vessels, and other systems, etc. This takes time and energy, too. One of the many reasons to keep your nutrition up (especially Protein and fluids), instead of arbitrarily restricting calories, or even giving up and bingeing when you stall.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight.

Embrace the Stall

I think sometimes your body loses so fast that it stops for to chill out for a while. Lol
