For Those Who Started At 250

[doxieville 799]

I'm sooooooo jealous of all you guys! I started at 262 sleeved on 4/10 and I'm only down to 214-218 depending. I'm eating at least 80 grams of Proteins and more than enough Water. I don't know what the problem is. I'm working out 6 days a week and sometimes twice a day. The only thing I can think of is maybe its my Implanon(BC) which I'm seriously considering removing. I don't know what move I can do. But I'm happy for you guys' date=' keep up the good work.[/quote']

What's your carb intake? It cld be that you are one of the unlucky ones who are extremely insulin resistant. I have to stay below 20 grams a day. 10 is even better.

I started in April @ 249. Surgery 8/21 @ 218. Today 203. Yep, I'm a SLOW loser, but I'm losing and that's what counts.

Try dropping it below 20 for a few days and see what happens. Also, eat one meal a day w no carbs at all. If these tricks don't work, then I'd look at your birth control. Good luck!

Muffin- also, if you are working out 2x a day, it cld be you are gaining a lot of muscle? I've also read on here that you can work out TOO much. Try posting in the exercise forum and see what they say.

I have the para guard iUD. It has no hormones and no added weight gain. Try looking into that.

My thoughts exactly. What a good topic. DOS 10/18/12 251lbs as of today I am 236lbs. Three weeks today. Good luck, I too am dreaming of wonderland. Keeping up with Protein, drinking, and exercise. Trying not to go over 500 calories.

I know not to compare to others' date=' but I would live to know how long it took you to get to "onederland" for those of u ladies who started at 250. I just hit my 4 months and I am so close to it, I thought of get there faster. I'm stalling again at 203-205. Yes I'm drinking me Water and getting 80-100 Protein daily. Workout 3-5 times a week and I work in a restaurant. I only take in 30-40 carbs daily. Thanks![/quote']

I was 245.5 on when I started. Sleeves June 27. Made it to 200 In early October. Have gone down to 193 but am back to 198 right now. Trying to refocus on getting enough Water and Protein in. It usually amps up the weight loss and gets me out of my stall.
