Yes.


... ok, serious reply:

- Which surgery did you have?
- What did you weigh before, what's your weight now, how much have you lost in total?
- What do you eat in a typical day?

The closer you are to goal the slower the rate of loss. It can be really frustrating when that goal weight is so close & it feels like you will never get there.

Your weight loss slows as you’re consuming more so your intake is almost at what your body needs to function & so you lose little or nothing (maintenance).

You have a couple of options. You can continue as you are, be patient & see how your loss progresses. You likely will eventually lose that 15lbs or close to it. Or you can do more activity or reduce your food intake but both of these options will have to be continued if you want to maintain the lower weight if they are the only ways to lose the weight.

Always worth a chat with your dietician. It can be easy to overlook something or they may suggest something to shake up your eating plan.

Not everyone gets to their goal but that’s ok. Sometimes your body settles at a slightly higher weight than you expected. Or you make eating & activity choices based upon how you want to live & enjoy your life (which are a major considerations for long term success). A way of eating or exercise regime that is too restrictive isn’t sustainable in the long term.

All the best.

The weight loss slows down as you reach your goal. Are you still watching what you eat and sticking to mainly Protein? Are you still tracking what you eat? Watching portion sizes?

We all lose at different rates. What does your doctor say about your rate of loss? If you truly are sticking to your plan you may be experiencing a stall which can last several weeks. There is nothing to do or change, the stall will pass.

Thank you I haven’t really talk to my doctor about it or my
Nutritionist last time I spoked to her was about 2 months ago she just tells me to continue what am
Doing .

Definitely talk to them. Don't be embarrassed or feel like you're doing anything wrong. Flat times do happen to everyone. They will be able to give you good suggestions on how to jumpstart your metabolism again. Especially the dietician. I know I struggle with any kind of movement due to severe knee osteoarthritis, so good for you for walking! Good luck. Keep us posted.
