Recommended Posts

Yeah that's how I feel right now. 5 days a week busting up 1000 cals each time. Cardio weight training resistance burning it all up. Now for the kicker No inches lost no weight lost !!! A week shy of 6 months down 36/35 lbs that's it no you did not read that wrong. Water 128 oz Protein 80/100 cals 800/900 today 1300 my most ever but burnt 1600 cals. No I'm not losing inches have not in over 12 weeks I stopped counting. The past 6 weeks I have been 209/205 up and down the same lbs. What do I have to say about this I say o F you scale F you inches. I will work my azz off till I'm dripping with sweat I will defeat you scale come summer 2015 I will be in a sexy swim suit!!! Just had to get that off my chest Ty guys I love you all.

That sounds so frustrating, but you are amazing! Just keep at it girl! The pounds have got to start dropping again soon. You're probably just building so much muscle and retaining so much Water to repair those muscles after workouts that you haven't seen a drop on the scale yet, but I bet even if you aren't losing pounds or inches, that you are looking and feeling better anyway! It's not all about the measurements. Congrats on your hard work and your fantastic stick-to-it attitude!!

^ I agree. You are burning more calories than u are eating. That puts you at a deficit before you even start. Your attitude is good for us out here, but as a fellow fat person I would have said the same thing and still been beating myself up. Try not to do that if you can because you are doing everything right...only tging you my want to have a couple higher calorie days and see what happens, make sure you eat a large amount of Protein as a part of those calories if you can. This will correct any Protein deficits you have and tell your body you are not starving.

I have read a good book on this called "smart exercise" it explains how the body reacts to exercise

First of all let me say you are awesome! You are a fighter and you will win! I have read that when people hit stalls they add extra calories for a few days. Then they go back to normal calorie intake and it seems to break the stall.... Just a thought... You have to do what you are comfortable with! Best Wishes keep up the good work! Tina

I agree with Tsnewsrart, I think you might need to increase your calories too. I know it's hard, I can't imagine more than 800 but I think if you do increase you'll shock your system and maybe jump start weight loss again. Its worth a try if you've tried everything else in my opinion. Good luck! Keep doing what you're doing as far as exercise tho cuz you are doing awesome! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
