I have around a 1000 calorie or more deficit each day. I should be losing 2 lbs steadily each week. While I lost more in the beginning, my weight has slowed down to around 1lb a week. This week I stayed the same. When I used my bodybugg before WLS, I would lose very close to what my calorie deficit. I am wondering what gives this time around. I thought I would see what others are experiencing.

My calorie deficit is about 1300 per day, give or take a few. I have also found there is not a direct correlation between intake/output/weight loss. Sometimes I lose more, sometimes less. I think if it were as simple as the 3500 calories=1 pound, the medical community would be a lot closer to actually curing obesity. I think so much more goes into play, such as how much you have lost, how much you have to lose, and individual metabolism, general health, stress levels, etc. (sorry, no studies to back that up, just my personal observations ) I wonder if at some point in the future you might have a bigger drop - I notice that sometimes my body seems to try to "catch up". Having said that, congratulations to you for your steady weight loss! Keep up the good work!
