Why is it not happen 6mo out and no loss for at least a mo.

Yes let's stop talking about the "3 week stall"

Around here and start talking about the more serious 6th month stall!

I have been at the same weight for about a month....

Oh wow! I thought it was just me!! :-(

Same boat here. I just have to hope that our bodies are playing catch up and will start up the loss again.

Well not only is my body trying to catch up! It's trying to pack some pounds back on!!

Girl all I know is my family is sitting here eating stuffed pizza and I'm eating a plain Greek yogurt with blueberries... And tomorrow I will weight the same I'm sure... I hit 171 and I stay there or go up a pound or two on a daily basis for a month now.. I'm getting a treadmill on Thursday. Maybe if I just walk all day on it I'll start losing again..

How much weight did you start off with?

Who me???

I'm 5'4 and started at 235..

I'm just days away from my 6 month anniversary of surgery. The weight loss has s l o w e d WAY down, and when I do lose it's .2 or .4. I can feel frustrated at times, because I am exercising and following the food guidelines. I usually drink 9 to 11 8 oz glasses of water a day, plus some herbal tea and 8 oz of fat free milk a day.

I had to do some 'self-talk' and tell myself (repeatedly & usually when I am on or just off the scale!!) that this is a life long journey. If I keep following this way of life, the weight will come off. I feel better than I ever have and that in itself is a great thing.

When I walk before dinner with my husband (trying to get him to live a healthier lifestyle) he works to keep up with me. That was not the case prior to the surgery or lifestyle changes.

I believe that we will get to our weight goals and along the way we reach other goals, like moving easier, feeling more energetic, wearing smaller clothes, being healthier, getting off medications and feeling so much better about ourselves.
