Congrats! You have done great. 2 things to suggest. One is varying your calories day to day, for example, eat 1200 one day, 900 another, 1400 another. Also, vary your excersise. Doing these things is suppossed to kinda trick your body into loosing that last bit of fat. Good luck!

OMG Tiff congrats!!! You go girl!!! I am stuck at 169...really discouraging. In researching the whole plateau thing, it seems that the last few are so hard to lose because your body is trying to tell you it's at a good place....even when we beg to differ LOL! Stay with it. It may take a little longer, but it will come off. You've done amazing! So good to 'see' you! I was wondering how you were doing!!

Hang in there!

Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles (ha, ha). It is hard to last few pounds. Our bodies are resisting losing anymore weight. I've been struggling with the last 16 lbs.

Keep doing what you're doing. It'll happen. Congrats on your success.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
