Please give us more information. What is your exercise routine? How about a couple days of meal diary? Are you writing down everything you put in your mouth, keeping up with Protein and Vitamins? Water intake?

She is right something is not working... Are you getting enough Protein everyday??

I know the frustration. I almost through my scale out the window. Ended up going to three different offices to try their scales. All around the same.

So, I am reading blogs and posts here on what other people tried. I downloaded a new app, BodyFast. I am working on an Intermittent Fasting program that is pretty easy to start.
This stall is broken. Try it out.

I chose a program where the fasting times and durations vary per day. Yesterday, and today, I have an 8 hour window to eat. I aim for 1000 calories. I go to the gym or do cardio 6 days a week.

Good luck! We have to out think our lizard brains and mix it up

I had a similar surgery date and starting weight. First: when have you ever lost 100 pounds?!! That's amazing! Be proud for how far you have come. I was losing and gaining the same 3 pounds for like a month then I started IF and I have lost about 7. However, my doctor told me not to expect to lose much more because I have already beat the expectation of 70% of excess weight lost. I am still trying to reach my goal though. With that said, the surgery is just a tool. We still have to learn how to be healthy! Are you tracking calories and macros? getting enough Protein and Water?

I'm frustrated as well with the stall, but I'm only 6 weeks out. I've been stalled since last week, i graduated to full diet and I'm exercising/walking more. But pounds are not moving. I commend you, at least you've lost almost 100lbs, that's a great accomplishment. I've only lost 28lbs so far.

I hit another stall recently at 7 months. I think the only way I'll keep losing is to really ramp up my time at the gym. I find that when Im working out a lot the scale moves and when I dont, it stalls. People say 80% of weight loss is diet but for me thats not true. I am eating about 900 calories a day so I should lose weight no matter what. That just doesnt happen if I dont also move a lot.

A week is not a stall and stalls are normal with any weight loss as your body adjusts.
