I've been bouncing from 180 to 182 for a month now it's so frustrating because 160 is my goal and I havnt seen a 179 since high school. Ive lost 125 pounds so far i just don't know how to tell if it's just a long stall or is my body done losing?

I feel your fustration. I have been in s stall for months! My doctor told me since i have lost like 50 percents of my body weight, now i have to excercise and keep trying. I dnt think your done bc i keep losing, but at a very slow snail pace. I went from 238 to 177. I would like to be like 140

You are only done if you want to be done. this is where it takes a while to lose the remaining lbs. You have done great. When I got to my 6 month period, I was closer to goal and my loss slowed down to a snails pace. Now I'm really close to goal by a few lbs and I am still losing some here and there. I just stay focused on what I need to do. Eat healthy and exercise sure helps a lot. You can do this and you will, just stay focused and try not to give up.

Your not done. Keep doing what you are supposed to do. I just broke a 6.5week stall and have lost 7lbs in 4 or 5 days.

I understand just how you feel. I have been on a stall for weeks and keep gaining and losing the same 2 lbs. I guess I need to increase my exercise. I am eating around 800 calories a day and I need to readjust my goals because I don't think at this pace they are attainable. I wanted to be at 200 by Christmas but I am 26 lbs away and don't believe I can lose that much. I am happy with what I have lost but have really slowed down!

I've been bouncing between 163 to 161 for about two months.Haven't been in

150's for 2 yrs and only for a very short time. Before that 15 years ago? I totally believe the body has "set points" and resists going below those. I think this is were they separate the girls from the hard core women. We cam do it. It may take longer than we'd like but never give up!

Guys, I love ya. So don't give me a hard time. You know you've got the "more muscle" advantage and it's easier for you than us girls.

No you are not done! I am on maintennace and still losing cuz I can't get me calorie intake up to where it should be (1,200 per day). How many more lbs. do you want to lose? 125 lbs. is an awesome weight loss. Try decreasing your calories back down to about 800-900 and try decreasing your carbs to about 30g a day. It can be done. i never had over 30g of carbs a day while I was losing. I have changed my habits so much, I can't even get in the 150g of carbs I need to maintain. Try LilMissDivas boot camp for 5 days (on here). Also I don't know how far away you are from your goal, but my doctor says the closer you are the harder to lose, since your body is fighting you. The boot camp cuts out all carbs, and has lots of protein and tons of water and green veggies only for 5 days. Also try doing some interval training excercises. My doctor has me on my treadmill 35 min a day. (Or atleast 3 times a week). You do 2 mph for 1 minute, then 3 mph for 5 minute, then 4 mph for 1 minute. Then you repeat this 7 minute cycle 4 more times for a total of 35 minutes. This is great for burning off excess fat and losing inches too and boosting your metabolism and also gets your pulse rate up and is more beneficial than just getting on and trying to go 3 or 4 mph for 35 minutes. Good luck. Sounds like you have done a great job so far!

Hi O.T.R, I'm currently not losing. I'm still with my plan and also doing cardio. I started some light weight lifting 3 times a week but very light lol laughable light even.

My question to you is... Did you do anything specific to start losing again? I'm pretty sure we were sleeved around the same time. Any suggestions?

I still have 15 lbs to go for drs goal and 25 lbs for my personal goal.

No, I just kept track of my food & walked some. Basicly the same thing I've been doing since day one. No major changes in diet or activity. Just keep the faith & wait it out. Stalls can be frustrating, but they are necessary. Once your body has adjusted to the weight you have already lost, you'll see it start to drop again.

Don't get discouraged. My stall was 6.5 weeks. Once it broke I dropped 7lbs in 4days. Slingshotting me into Onederland.
