4 months out.. & so stressed

Hey guys!

Haven't wrote on this site in awhile!

I'm about 4 months out.. & feeling really stressed out.. I'm at a stall in my weight.. & been stalking for over a month.. I have been eating right & exercising regularly.. But still no change in my weight.. I see many ppl on this site that have the same problem... What can I do to change this? It's so hard..I understand this does happen especially since I already lost about 60 pounds. I need more friends that I can talk to.. So lets be friends please :)

  • We're your pal, fersure!!! Don't weigh yourself and keep following the program. You HAVE to lose then!

  • I am probably going to get flamed but I have some very unorthodox advice. Eat crap for a few days. Candy, cake, pizza or whatever. Don't eat enough to stretch your sleeve but eat as much as you comfo

    Your welcome.. Slow and steady wins the race. I wouldn't mind losing slowly. Give my skin a chance to bounce back as well!

Do try upping you calories and carbs but do it with healthier ones, your body may be adjusting to your constant calories. And up your Water, people say this helps.

It's hard not to stress about it but dang! Those scales are the root of all evil!

It will come off, it has no choice, if nothing else, I am learning that patience is key. Something I have never excelled in. :wacko:

Hang in there sweetie. :)

Thank you so much Hun! I'm going to try upping my water especially because I don't drink enough during the day =/ it's so hard! Lol but yes the scale is beyond evil!!! -_- hate it!! Lol

Do you have a local support group ? If so, I would try to go to some meeting it is nice when others know what you are going through.

Yes! My mom just told me the same thing about 20 minutes ago lol I should go! Thanks :)

Hang in there! It happens, I did the same thing then the next month lost 15 pounds. I guess it just takes time for the body to catch up and I found out that when I start stalling I panic and stop eating as much which only hinders the losing processing, because your body is like oh no she is not feeding us HOLD ON TO WHAT WE HAVE! LOL I started eating more frequent just smaller meals. You will get there.

LOL I started eating more frequent just little meals about 5 times a day and it seems like it has really helped. Just make sure it is healthy choices. You will get there.

I'm right with you. I'm 4 1/2 months out and I've had HUGE stalls. No biggy. Be patient and it will work. Stay with your healthy eating habits because this is what our new lifestyle is about. I don't do carb binges because I'm a past carbaholic and they do wicked things to my head and I refuse to fall into that trap again.

I know that with time eating a healthy way is going to get me to goal. No, I didn't say I don't do an occasional treat, but I did say I'm not going off track right now just to experiment with a quick loss fix.

Be patient

I haven't had my sleeve yet but have you tried changing up your exercise routine. You may want to even change up the food you are eating and try new things. Sometimes our bodies get use to the same old thing so we need to shock it with a change. Just a suggestion. I got this from my trainer at the gym.

Your body is transitioning! If you are loosing inches, but not weight, that's an amount of fat (takes up more space) now taken up by the same weight of muscle (is denser- takes up less space). Keep doing what you're doing. If you decide to up your calories for a few days, make it GOOD calories. No sense in filling yourself with things you shouldn't be eating anyways!
