6 months out! I've had a major move from va to fl and now lost my job. So major life situations. Not that it's an excuse buf I'm only down 47lbs since surgery. I know I didn't start off as high as some but I do work out regularly. Trying to refocus and get back on track. #discouraged #frustrated

Remember to get your Protein in that is the most important part of this all. Good luck and sorry to hear about the move then job loss.

I agree, don't give up and getting a good amount of Protein helps! I've refocused on getting about 100g a day recently and the weight is coming off again. Still slow, but the scale is moving.

Hope you find a new job soon! Best of luck to you.

It is great to hear that you got the scale moving again.

For those of you who are stalled, On the December Post, I posted how I get my 100g Proteins without even counting dinner. Without dinner, I get at least 108 a day. I have to due to being at 80-90grams a day one of my protein levels was low a point. So Dr still has me on shakes. I don't do to well with meats, especially cooking it. The smell still effects my stomach, blah.

I started out Dec 15 at 237, overall highest weight 267. I am now 130. Size 4 pant and xsmall, small or Medium shirt depending on style and brand. My dad has lectured me cuz he thought I was still losing weight, but I haven't lost in a while now. Im right at 130-131. I'm happy about it, but protein intake is the key if burning those fat cells away and building lean muscle. Once I upped my protein, I started losing weight faster. 107 lbs in 6 months. I hope this will give those of you stalled a little motivation to up that protein. Remember if you stall, you could still be burning those fat cells and gaining muscle mass (which weighs more). For the last 3 months, I have went down pant sizes without losing "weight" on the scale. :-) don't give up. Try your darnedest to hit that 100g a day. Don't forget to work out even if it is a little walk.

Depends on your doctor but I didn't have to lose anything bc my insurance required certain bmi and health issues which I had sleep apnea and asthma

But some all u needed besides bmi is diabetes, high blood pressure etc....

Agreed! We get busy living life and forget about the support we need and how good it feels to give it.

I'm 65lbs down, not a huge loss in comparison with some others, but with all things considered-I feel like I've accomplished a lot. My body has changed, don't recall when I wore a size 11 last or weighed less than 185. I'm 175 now and I get a lot of "hey skinny lady's" and "stop losing weight already's", "you look so good", etc. It's nice to hear but I feel like I have at least 10-25 more to lose. I'm pretty hard on myself.

I can go up a lb in a day-not from how much I eat but what I eat, so I still take the scale pretty seriously and feel like I'm far from an expert on food and getting the perfect routine. Unfortunately I have little imagination with food prep and in the cooking areas so my meals are pretty boring, lol. I do try to track all my meals in MFP, helps me to be accountable. I know I need to exercise more, but I'm healing from a knee injury.... which I'm sure is partly why the energy level is a bit low still even though I take my Vitamins. By the end of my work day I'm worn out.

Oh, and I love wearing smaller clothes, but shopping can be both overwhelming and frustrating. Expensive too!

Love it. I'm having trouble remembering my vitamins. I guess I need to put myself on a schedule.

Hey everyone. Checking in. Weightloss has stalled for me. I've actually gained a few due to the baby which is to be expected. Kinda bummed about it but it is what it is. A few more weeks til he is here then I'm hitting the gym with a fury.

Jerz, I'm very happy that you will soon have your baby. I pray that you and he will be happy and healthy. Take care and keep us informed. Congrats :-)
