Sweet Andy,

You have lost 51 lbs!!! That is SOOOO awesome!! :seeya: In just 4 months time too!!!!

I have read all the time here that plateaus are normal. If you have been working out a lot your body may be doing a "readjust" and it just needs to get through it. Also, you will lose slower as you get closer to your goal weight.

Keep the faith and look at other's progress and stories as inspiration.. you will get there!!

Take care and have a great day!!

Andy, you should be proud of your weight loss success. You are doing great. Plateauing is normal. How long have you been at your current weight and how many fills have you had so far?

You mention that you haven't changed what you are eating much. Perhaps trying a few days of liquids and mushies might help. That usually helps me get the scale going in the right direction when it seems to be stuck for awhile. You'll probably have to do that if you are having a fill soon.

You're doing great!! Don't get down! 51 lbs is fantastic, and with your new fill, you'll be back to dropping weight in no time.

Also, remember that while you're plateaued, you are giving your skin a chance to catch up to the pounds you've lost. So, things are tightening up and your body is getting used to being smaller. This isn't a bad thing -- it's just part of the process.

Congratulations on all of your success so far, and all of the success to come!

Catherine

I had my band inserted on 6/9, so far have had 2 fills for a total of 6.75cc and have my 3rd adjustment on Friday. I can't wait. I don't own a scale so unsure of my weight loss at this point, other than I was down 34 lbs last month at my 2nd fill. I am so excited about my band, and the way it works. Of course everyone tells me I am not eating enough now. OH WELL... I am eating what I have to in order to stay healthy, it is what you eat, not the amount you eat of it.
