Just a wee bit down today. Scale is going the wrong direction and I'm losing motivation. I'm 6 months out today and hoped to be down 100 lbs. by now, but I'm only down 77. Beginning to think ill never see onederland. Before you ask, yes, I'm getting in all of my protein and exercising.

How much are you wanting to lose all together? I think you are doing great! I was told by my surgeon that they like to see 50% of total weightloss by six months.

77 is a bunch, please don't be down on yourself. I know it has to be hard when you don't see the scale move and you are eating so little. But ask yourself if your clothes are loser, do you have more energy, could you be gaining some muscle mass? Everyone hits plateaus, Your body is just adjusting. It will still come off. Just don't be so hard on yourself. Look at the positives and know that your body is doing its thing in its time. Just keep following the rules, maybe add some more protein to boost it a bit, and even more water. see what happens.

Hugs to you,

I for one am super impressed with your progress.
