I am actually 14 1/2 months out from surgery and still can't seem to lose any more weight and what's the 5:2 plan? Thanks for your help!

Thank GOD it's not just me! I have been stalled since around March or April. Okay, I had a medical issue that began in February, which inevitably required surgery, so I just couldn't exercise. Since I had several weeks of recovery from that episode, naturally I didn't exercise.....and just haven't gotten back into that swing of things. Then there's those darn hot mochas from Mickey D's! My addiction! I have decided to completely eliminate them, which I'm sure will help and yes, I'm determined to get back into the exercise regime again. Any other suggestions? I generally eat the same things and I always make sure to eat the amount of protein I'm supposed to, yet my protein levels dropped below the lowest level. Why? I have no idea. Again, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have 37 more pounds to lose in the next 11 months! Thanks to you all!!

I'm brand new to this group, and this is one of the very reasons I joined. I have been "stuck" since March or April. My weight will fluctuate from 1-3 pounds in a week....usually going up. This week I gained 2.6 pounds and I just don't understand why. Ok, I haven't been the most conscious about my diet (I LOVE my Mickey D's mochas....with nonfat milk) and I haven't exercised since I had a medical issue and subsequent surgery (nothing bariatric-related). Any ideas on how I can "jumpstart" my weight loss? I need to lose about 37 more pounds. Thank you!!
