shelleysauter got a reaction from mrslb5 in Increased calories
Was almost 1 month with no weight lost and I am only 7 weeks out. After reading lots of material I tried increasing my calories to around 800-900 and the weight is coming off. Down 5 pounds in 5 days. I think when we are only eating 500-600 calories a day and exercising the body is in starvation mode. I am exercising at least 5 days per week (10,000 steps) and eating 5-6 small meals a day. Mostly Protein and vegetables very little carbs.

shelleysauter got a reaction from mentalistfan in Keep Going
Was sleeved April 9 and lost 20 pds in this 2 weeks and then nothing for 10 days. I was getting frustrated not because I had not done well so far but science tells me is you are eating 500-700 calories a day and doing 20-30 mins of exercise how can you not lose! Our bodies have to take time to adjust. The last 2 days I have lost 2 pounds. Not sure if I did anything but have been keeping my Water intake up and Protein over 70 grams. My husband who does not have a weight problem said you did not put the weight on overnight and it is not going to come off that way either. In fact he said a slower pace may help us deal better with saggy skin, Hair loss ect. Good luck to everyone!
