How tall are you? How many calories, carbs, and grams of Protein are you taking in each day? What do you do for exercise?

Three months isn't a stall, it's maintenance. Unless there is something very weird going on, you need to cut down on your calories and up your exercise. If you haven't already, figure out precisely how many calories you are taking in each day and lower that by at least 200.

If you are very confident that you know precisely how many calories you are taking in (you are weighing your portions, tracking everything on MFP, not having "cheat" days or "treat" meals or taking little tastes and bites here and there) and your calories are below 1200 per day, you may want to check in with your medical team and/or get your resting metabolic rate tested.

Good luck!

Calories are likely your problem. At your age, height, and weight, you are consuming about the number of calories you would need to maintain if you are more or less sedentary.

If I were you, I'd schedule your appointment with your nutritionist and work with him/her to map out a plan for yourself. I'd also get back to journaling everything you eat and drink in a day.

Good luck!

Do you have "my fitness pal" app? You input you info, how much you want to lose and it will tell you how many calories you shouldn't excess to reach that goal. It tracks you carbs, calories, sugar, activity etc. it really is an awesome tool. Oh and I just got a $40 off coupon for under armour for posting my meals for 30 days! SCORE!

my NUT says that i should be around 1000 calories/day while im losing. We have very close BMIs right now so i have to agree with the others and say that you need to cut the calories down. good luck!

I'm 5'7 and I maintain at 1600 calories a day. My mom is 5'3 and cannot lose unless she eats less than 1000 calories a day. She maintains at 1200. Generally the smaller, shorter, older you are the less calories you need. You definitely need to lower those calories to continue losing. I would suggest trying nothing but lean meats and veggies until you kickstart the weight loss again. Stay away from any forms of sugar, even sweeteners, until you've reached goal. Then have sparingly.

You've got this!

      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
