Your body will drop some weight all at one time, I weight about every 3 weeks, as long as my clothes continue to get big all is on track. Keep up the good work

Well this past month has not been 10lbs. Same 3 pounds up and down for weeks. I can eat avg 2-4 oz of meat at a meal with some veg. Depends on meat. I can eat often though. I log all my food in MFP and my fat intake is too high, going to cut back. Its hard when all i eat is meat and cheese! Lol.

Good idea, I did not go the cheese route, problem food for me. You still have 7 days left this month, go for some protein shakes, kick up the exersise & keep on going. They say it gets harder to lose after a year, some say 8 months, we can do it together

I'm on week 5, lost 10lbs, and dropped 1 1/2 clothes sizes.

I am in your boat! Our stats are similar!

Pre-op:260

SW:244

Current weight:219

Surgery date 1/10/13.

3 months out.

I was losing steadily and when I finally get in this groove of more workouts and a higher pace, nothing!! I can't break past 219. The scale goes between 219-222. Gimme a break!! But I send feel smaller and more fit. I just hope in a month I see a big difference.

Today I are at Baja Fresh and ordered the skinny wahoo fish bowl (no rice sub more Beans though next time I think I will sun more veggies). It is 3 pieces of grilled mahi 2oz each and a bowl w cabbage, black beans and this really good mango salsa. It's so good. With out the rice it came to 459 calories and it lasted me three meals (lunch, snack and dinner). It's gonna be my new go-to if I have to eat out. Hope my body recognizes the effort I'm making!!

Please keep me posted on your weight loss!!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one in this boat. I was sleeved the day after you (1/8) and the past few weeks have just been impossible to get weight off. I started at 262 and I'm stuck between 206-210 and I just can't break it. I even started 50 minutes of cardio daily and NOTHING! Please let me know if you girls find anything to break this stall and congrats on the weight loss thus far!

You have lost 52 pounds! U r doing great! I have only lost 35ish. I feel like it should be more. So i will keep on measuring to keep myself positive.

I'd rather have inches gone first.....the lbs will follow........Congrats you have been very successful.... :) Keep it up...

You're gaining muscle, and shedding fat! You're doing great. Keep going!
