Weight Loss/Body



Recommended Posts

I’m not sure if this is the right section to post this, but here goes. I am a slow loser but seem to drop a few pounds at one time then the loss stops for a bit and a few weeks later I drop a few pounds. Something that I have noticed is when the scale isn’t moving my clothes fit differently…looser, and my skin might look a little strange. Like it doesn’t fit my body, if that makes sense. But then a few days later it is almost as if it molds better to my frame. Yesterday I noticed that my boots zipped all the way up and my sneakers were loose but the scale hasn’t moved since Christmas. Could it be in my head or has any one else experienced this?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Are you working out? sometimes we are losing body fat but gaining muscle and you'll notice it more in your clothes and in inches( if you measure) then on the scale.< /p>

I have heard from more than one person (they both, incidentally, had gastric bypass, rather than lapband) that when they hit a plateau on the scale, they have found they are losing inches - even though the scale is steady.

Good luck on your journey...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
