For those of you that lost 100+ pounds, were you constantly losing? When did it slow down? Where were you at 3, 6, 9 months?

I am almost 2 years out, and stalled out all the time during the whole weight loss process. I'm almost at goal now, hope to be below it on my anniversary. :)

At 3 months: down 41 pounds

At 6 months: down 54 pounds

At 9 months: down 72 pounds

At 1 year: down 93 pounds

Weight loss was pretty steady for the first 3 months, some small stalls of a week or so, but mostly downwards in 3-5 pound jumps otherwise.

Around 9 months, it started getting a bit harder, but it also coincided with my feeling much more energetic and I really got into finding new and fun exercise/activities to do.

Now (about 1.5 months out from 2 years): down 124 pounds. 6 pounds from goal. But the last year it's been me really concentrating on my food and Protein and Water intake. I stall out for weeks sometimes, and occasionally gain 2-4 pounds in there too. But I keep logging every bite of food, watching my Protein and calories and exercising and it slowly inches downward.

But a caution: my story and pattern is mine - yours is yours. Your body won't work exactly the same as anyone else, so don't fall into the trap of judging your progress against others. You'll do great if you just keep to the basics and don't get discouraged. :)

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs in weight loss. Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. If you intend to lose a significant amount of weight, you will experience stalls.

        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
