Stalls are no fun, but Loosing Pants Sizes is always a PLUS!!

So I will be 5 months out on the 21st. I am down 70lbs from the day of surgery and at another stall.. 2nd one in the past 2 months.. I know they happen, and I know the scale will move again, I just wish it would start moving NOW!! I am able to eat more then I was a month ago "way more" However I am still getting in around 900-1000 calories a day. I still start with my meat first and if I am able to eat it all with out my full signal I move on to my greens. Usually after a couple of bites I am finished.. Where as a month ago I was barely able to get down 1/4 of a chicken breast.. I did have complications "leak, pneumonia, etc." and that did put me behind where I should have been at. So maybe eating as much as I'm eating now is normal who knows.. I just know this stall thing stinks!!! Loosing another pants size is a plus!! I just want to see the sale move again!!

Yay for lower pants sizes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in a bit of a reverse situation - my weight has gone down OK, but my pants sizes are not moving as quickly. I think my skin is still confused about that has happened over the last couple of months. :-)

You must be looking fab in your smaller pants!!

A VERY GREAT thing is moving an entire pants size out of your closet, giving it away, and knowing I will never be there again! Thrilling, I say!

I totally understand how you feel... since Jan I have lost 11lb... in 5mths. I have many weeks of nothing, drop 4-5lb... then nothing for several weeks later. I don't change anything and I stick to what my surgeon has told me to. Frustration doesn't come near it does it? But in that time -well, more recently, say the last 4weeks - despite very slow weight loss I have gone down a trouser size! This has kept me sane!

I ain't complaining now, did that and it got me nowhere,.. now I just thank God that I am not gaining and enjoying my success to date - just over 10mths out - I am just thankful that I am getting healthy and fit. My body will do what it pleases...lol!! =]

Good luck with your stall... just keep doing what you are doing.
