Admittedly, as a stats nerd this article and associated study made me snicker. The Lancet is really going downhill in terms of quality publishing. "The study also found that more than 50 per cent of the world's 600 plus million obese people live in only ten countries: the United States, China, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Germany, Pakistan and Indonesia." - which would only make sense given the population of all those countries. Nothing like a big, fat statistical nothingburger.

Congrats on your successful journey thus far! Keep up the great work I'd be OK with weighing around 150-155lbs because that's within the healthy BMI range for my height. But I'm shifting focus away from the scale (trying to limit myself to one weigh in a week) and on to building lean muscle and toning up. I work out 5-6 days out of the week and weight train at least 3 of those days. Got to get rid of some of this arm and tummy flab for summer!

I'll add my photos to this thread -100 lbs lost in 11 months! Before: 11 months post op:

I'm a little under 15 lbs from my ultimate goal, but after buying new clothes for spring I decided I had to show them off! HW: 260 CW: 164 GW: 150 ^ Before ^ After - last weekend I'm rockin' the sleeve! Best decision I ever made for myself!

Do you have physical limitations that prevent you from exercise? If not, why aren't you exercising? Have you tried curtailing the calories back from almost 1100? I am almost 7 months out and I eat usually less than that. IMO, Weight Watchers is at best, a terrible diet for obese people, and at worst, a diet designed specifically to keep people "on the plan" and not to lose the weight they need to. Why? They are a for-profit company - that's why! I personally would only reserve it for maintenance but wouldn't follow the daily carb allowance. It allows you too many carbs, truly. The effective tool for rapid weight loss is ketosis, and you'll never achieve that on WW. Expect a loss in the wallet, but not much on the scale. If it worked so well for all of us then why did we end up getting surgery? If I were you I wouldn't give up on your nutritionist's plan yet. Go back to your surgery center and explain your issues.
