What was your longest stall?

[Thecloude1 342]

Hey everyone! I need a little encouragement.....I have not lost a single pound in the last month and I'm getting very discouraged. I'm 11 months post op. Hw: 324. SW:295 CW:205. I was so hoping to be under 200 by my one yr surgiversary which is Feb. 17th. Im so afraid that I'm done losing! My losses haven't been huge by no means but I have been losing at least 5 lbs a month. This has been my longest stall since surgery ...almost 5 weeks ????

Your body adapts. especially after such a deficit for so long. We have to change it up.

1) Increase or change up type of exercise

2) Adjust carbs/calories so the body responds. Not always lower, but cycle a little up and down does help.

3) After making changes, give it a couple weeks to see if changes helped.

The scale should not be the only measure of progress, but body measurements and body levels fat is.

Remember staying at the same weight is not a failure. Gaining fat is.

I recently just broke a 1 month stall (Based on the scale) but did lose some inches and at least that helped break the mental crap the scale alone can cause.

You lost 90 lbs! ???????????????????? That is amazing! Congratulate yourself! You still have a month to go. I suggest checking your carb intake and if that is good try increasing your exercise and Water intake. But 90 lbs is still no small feat!????????????????

I agree with everyone else. 90 pounds is such a wonderful accomplishment! That honeymoon weight loss portion is over and now the real work begins. Exercise, increase your Water, start building muscle and don't rely on the scale! Get measurements of your body and keep track that way. The scale is evil and it doesn't tell you your Water weight and that type of stuff

Keep up the good work!!
