Well 5 bites of food isn't enough to get your metabolism going. Increase your calories to about 1000 and go back to basics for about 5 days. BTW what do you eat ? Portion sizes etc?

you lost $144.00??

Hee Hee - i know where it is!!!

you had WLS june 2011 - benefit of the doubt - you might have lost the 144 lbs in 14 months or so????

bringing us to about september, october 2012?

this is an awful long stall - and i can't imagine how bad you must feel

I hate to say it

but "maybe" your body has adjusted to where your weight is now

it (your body) might be saying ...............

"hey bud you've lost 144 lbs - maybe thats where we're gonna stop)

but maybe its not saying that

gotta cover my a ssssssssss

you are eating sooo little at 2 years PO

you are physically unable to eat more than 5 or so bites???

I agree maybe upping your calories a bit would help

congrats on your amazing weight loss of 144 lbs (not $'s LOL)

good luck

My body went into "maintenance" before I was ready, so I understand the frustration! I've since accepted that I'm not going to get to a "normal" BMI, but I will would like to lose another -20lbs. Working on it and knowing I'm not there yet is frustrating also, but I keep chipping away at it and never EVER give up!

Thank you for keeping me motivated and encouraged. I thought I was the only one but I did fine out why I also stop. My doctor said my Thyroid is not Active. So I have to have that checked out. But thanks again, keep at. We'll get there.

I've taken synthroid for many years for my thyroid

maybe your doc will put you on that or something else

repeating from "up above"

i'm the smiling one waving my hand at ya

eating about 5 bites and not being able to eat more???not hungry????

I'm kindof jealous!!

like i said maybe up the calories - but if you can't eat more.....

or maybe have an extra snack adding more calories

you need to keep your metabolism going

do you still have a nutritionalist you can talk to for suggestions/help

don't go looking for it

take care

good luck
