Hello everyone, this is my first post and i have a question... How do you prevent yourself from comparing your weight loss to those who was sleeved on the same date. My SW was 400 and today i'm 319. GW is 250. I just feel like my weight loss has halted. i take in about 900 calories per day however, i dont always get my Protein in. How important is protein to the actual weight loss? idk, i just dont want to ever be 400 lbs again. help vsg family.

Just try not to compare yourself to others. We all have our own journey and remember we're all different. Stay focused on your goal and just don't get discouraged. We all hit a stall at some point or another, in-fact, you will hit a few. You need to make sure you get your Protein in every day if you can. That is ver very important. Also, you need to get about a 1,000 calories in a day.

Make sure you're tracking everything you eat. There is a cool Free app "My Fitness Pal" that you can download.

How much activity are you getting in? I say activity versus excessive because all movement counts.

There is another free app you can use to get a circuit workout in. It's call "7". Remember, it's crucial for you to get protein in, track your food, get in activity and your calories.

Good luck!!!

Getting your Protein in makes a big difference in your weight loss too. Mine really slows down if I'm not. I don't care to eat in the morning so I have a Premier Protein drink (30 gr protein, 2 gr sugar and 160 cal). It keeps my protein up and an easy Breakfast. I mix their caramel with ice and coffee, or blend their strawberry with half a frozen banana and both are very good. You can do this.
