What was your starting weight? How much more do you have to lose to reach your goal? How many calories are you eating a day? How many carbs? How much are you exercising? How much Water are you drinking?

I bet if you answered those questions you would be able to analyze your "stuckness" for yourself.

I have been stuck at the same weight for a few months and I know it's because I have not been eating low carb, taking in too many calories, and not exercising (I have been dealing with chemo, radiation, and surgery for cancer so I cut myself some slack). Even so, I have found that my clothes continue to get larger. Remarkable how they do that,,,,,

Analyze, adjust, go forward!

Spatters u ate so lucky to be able to eat at all having chemo an stuff. So glad to see u here.

I might suggest going back to basics of Proteins with little carbs. But first look at all the info u write down that spatters suggested. :)

Spatter3 is right. Take a closer look at what you are putting in your body....I have had the same situation and discovered I was taking in too many carbs. I cut them back and now am losing again.

Spoke with my dietician today. I actually haven't been eating enough calories according to her. I emailed he my MFP info and she wants me to up my calories for 2 weeks and see where things go. I have 20 lbs left to lose to be at my Dr. Goal and 30 for my personal goal. I am still super low carb 64-72 oz of Water a day and cut out any ETOH over a month ago. She also thinks some weight retention maybe stress related due to other things I have going on in my life. Thank goodness I finally decided to reach out to her.

Thanks for the help guys. Btw good luck to all of you an all of your battles.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
