I had surgery on 3/21/2012 and, as of today, I am down 110 lbs.

However, I haven't really lost any weight in the last 7 weeks.

I have about 40 more to lose and am trying to keep myself from being frustrated.

I still log all my food each and every day on FatSecret.com and keep to a 900-1000 calories a day with 80+ grams of Protein and no more than 40 carbs. I drink my Water and walk about 3 miles a day.

Any suggestions or confirmation that this is normal?

Thanks!

Sounds like a plateau... Have you tried mixing up your workout routine?

Well, I'm sure being so close to goal that the pounds are going to be a lot harder to shed. What about your non-weight measurements over the last 7 weeks? Are you losing inches?

Try increasing your calories. I know it sounds crazy but it works. If your body has acclimated to the 1000 calories a day it may need a bit more fuel to kick in. This has been recommended by my nutrionist to several people and it works. Just try increasing your calories to about 1200 a day and see if that gets the party moving.

B/C you are doing so much more exercise, etc. your body may need the caloric boost to realize it will not starve to death if it lets go of the excessive weight.

Good Luck and keep us posted on your progress!
