Okay, 50s, I have been trying to RELose 10-12 lbs! Ain't happening. Low carb doesn't seem to work for my body anymore. 2 lbs down 2 lbs up over last month!! I am not exercising so I guess that is the other option. I can't seem to get any to come off now that I have been on maintenance so to speak for over a year ( 2 yrs out). Any thoughts?

Find a beautiful place to walk, that is close enough so you can do it daily. Don't just walk for the exercise at someplace that might be near by unless you won't walk otherwise.....find a few places that you can walk that actually add to your mental state as well.

There is a college in my town that allows locals to walk their football field/track....doesn't sound very pretty but the whole outside of the track is filled with perennial beds and in the background are these stately brick buildings, the largest with a state capital like dome/cupola. The grounds are meticulously groomed and I just like walking there. I do tend to walk there with someone else but if you find your own "Zen" spots and walk daily, you might budget that last little bit or at least have an enjoyable time.

It's really hard to lose it again after we are on maintenance. I don't know why it was easy to lose in the beginning, and now, I can eat the same exact thing and not lose. It's much slower. I have to make sure to do hard cardio for at least 30 min per day. I take my heart rate and have to keep it up in the arerobic zone for at least 30 min.

If I snack, I can forget about losing.

I'm 55 and nearly 4 months post op. I'm down 75 pounds today and three sizes of clothes. I'm almost ready for another new belt. The current one is on it's last notch (may have to punch another hole in it first). The skin is not sagging anywhere and it appears to be gradually shrinking back into place.

Good to see you on this thread. I was beginning to think that it was a ladies only thread.

75 pounds in 4 months is pretty good. Assuming that my surgery happens as planned in July a similar rate would have me at my goal by Thanksgiving. I guess that would decrease the amount of turkey in the holiday and increase the amount of thankfulness. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
