WHY IS THE LAST 20 POUND SO HARD TO DROP? LATEST PICS

[Lisa's Hope 421]

Hi,

The topic should read "last 20 pounds" not "pound".. ugghh.. I hate when I do that.

It has been awhile since I posted. Still no loss in 2 months. I'm 14 months out tomorrow. I really didn't know that the last 20 pounds were going to be so hard to get off. When I began this journey, I never thought I would make it into the 170's after starting out at 300. Well, nearly 300. CLOSE ENOUGH! I am so grateful for my loss and wonder why I'm not happy right where I am but I'm really not. MY BMI is 28 and I'm still considered "overweight". In order to be considered a "normal" weight, I need to be between 150-154. Losing lately has been so hard. I know my body is happy where it is. I'm in a size 10-12 but mostly 12's. I just wondered if any of you have any suggestions on how to get this weight loss started again. I've tried the pouch test but honestly when I start eating again, it comes back. Maybe just need to up my exercise a bit. I have to admit I'm not exercising enough.

Thanks for any advice from you sleevers that are at goal!! I really would like to join you! Below are some of my latest pics... still no difference than the last. :/

PS I have my surgery on Wednesday, I hope that I look as good as you when I'm done, but of course I would need a hair transplant also, LOL.

I just wanted to say how "Fabulous" you look & add that "patients is a virtue". It will happen even though it may take longer than what you've grown accustomed to this past year. Best wishes - Karen

You look healthy and beautiful. The last pounds off are the hardest! I am not far enough out to give great advise but some longer out are doing a 5/2 diet. Google it if it sounds like something that could work for you. Increased exercise is always good and lower carbs as general rules.
