I don't know if I'm in a stall or if its because I'm getting close to goal because the scale is up and down and only giving me ounces at a time as losses. I want to hit 153 so bad!!! Good luck everyone in this last week of our challenge.

Hi Neek! I'm a newbie, 2 weeks post-op yesterday. For me, calories matter/regardless of composition of those calories! I have to be below 1000 to lose steadily. Once I get close to 1200, I stall or even gain! That may be the 'over 50' curse-slower metabolism! Are you getting 60-80 gs. protein and drinking 64 oz. fluids? Maybe you are retaining Water from too much sodium. Try a glass if warm water and the juice of a fresh lemon. When I can have fruits again, this will be my wake up drink! It helps flush out excess water weight plus makes you feel lighter and energized! Good luck, Hun! Don't despair -you're doing great!

Are you getting in enough protein and Water? How is your carb intake? And lastly are you having regular bowels movements. I am about 2.5 months out and I still must take a weekly laxative in order to make it work...I also track my intake on My Fitness Pal as it gives me a realistic idea of what I am truly eating because just keeping in your head, well generally is not so accurate. I found before I started tracking, my carb intake was too high but since tracking I have consistently lost about 2-3lbs a week...some weeks more...

HI, what are your daily goals for calories, protein and carbs are you?

[neek41 34]

Hi Guys I want to thank you guys for responding. I just started using fitness pal & been eating to many calories. I will do better starting tomorrow. In no way shape or form have I been tracking my food intake. Today I talked to my nut she did give me some tips on how to get back on track. I got lazy & cocky as I knew I would. I still have about 75 pounds to loose & by march, it will all be done. That's why I love this forum. You guys all are the bomb. Thank you again. All of you who took the time to help me. Much love sleevers. :-)
