Scared?

Anyone else scared that the weight loss will just stop when they hit a pause? This week I didn't lose any but didn't gain any and it always makes me nervous. I know its completely ridiculous to think it will just quit, but I don't want to have suffered so much for it to stop now. Had the surgery 10-25 and down 59 lbs.

How far along were u after the surgery when u stalled for two months?

I lose slowly about 1-2 pounds a week...more often 1 pounds per week but, you know what.....it's still coming off. I'm still doing better than I did before I started and this time of year I would normally be gaining weight. If you're following your surgeon's/nutritionist's recommendations then you're doing the right thing and it will come off. You're body is going through lots of changes and it will have times it will stall or be slower...just keep on keeping on and it will come off. :)

Yeah it just makes me nervous. I keep fearing that I m doing all this to fail. But that's y we r on this forum I suppose to be cheerleaders for each other. I did lose two lbs this week so I am going in the right direction.

Don't be afraid. You will lose. And when you aren't losing according to the scale you may be losing inches or other things are improving. Don't be a slave to the scale. IF it causes you stress weigh just a couple of times a week or even once. You are not going through all this for nothing, Just keep on keeping on. Wishing you the very best, Trust yourself you will not fail.

I notice when I stall something in my body gets smaller. My tummy upper leg wrist finger something happens so I know the scale stalls but you lose inches from your body. Trust me I should start using my measuring tape:)
