So It's a year later...I'm down 130lbs...i have came so far in one year,however my worry is at my 6 month check up my Dr said to stay in the 600 calorie range (im assuming because i started at such a high weight and have so much to lose)...i lost most of my weight within the first 7 months,had my checkup in late november...december and january i lost NOTHING even though i stayed at 600 calories and 70 grams of Protein a day and i work out at least 4-5 days a week for an hr and try to do at least 3miles...february and march i lost a few more but stayed at minimal carbs ( i have realized i will never be able to have many)...April i would bounce between a pound or two and go back and forth for a couple weeks then finally lost 4lbs....its been so frustrating!!! I have read many times to not change what you're doing(calories and exercise) so I dont, I upped my calories by 200 a couple times to try to get things going and I started doing more at the gym....I have my 1 year check up next week and hoping he can help me, I can't help but wonder if Im hurting myself more by staying at 600 calories, when I read on here most people are at least 800-1000 calories a day....are others having this same problem? I just want to start losing again and of course my worst fear is how can i be doing what I'm supposed to be and not getting anywhere...surely it can't be over???!!!
