Been stuck at the same weight for three weeks now. Protien intake is higher. Working out harder. ( cardio) and drinking more water...... this is so depressing. Hope I'm not done losing weight already. Still have a long way to go. 8wks post op btw

Take a deep breath, you'll be fine. Very very doubtful that you've stopped losing at 8 weeks out. Your body is really freaked out by what has happened. It's doing its best to keep you from starving to death. If you are following your docs rules for diet and exercise, Protein, water, etc, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT.....but it does take time. Take a breath, you'll get there. Freakin out only causes more creaking out.

You will have many stalls throughout this journey, but the best thing is we lose inches, lose sizes, feel better, we see a difference so don't be stressed by numbers.....protein, Water and exercise and hide the scale for a few days....

at 8wks your body is still trying to figure out what is going on its normal...you will lose weight, just keep a positive attitude and continue what your doing...and remember you will continue having stalls throughout your journey...good thing about it the scale does move along...its a process, and all of us are working process to progress

Good Luck!

One of our success stories just posted this from her docs office, it's perfect!

Your weight loss will fluctuate. Sometimes you'll lose weight quickly. Sometimes more slowly. Sometimes not at all. But your focus is ALWAYS the same regardless of what your weight is doing. Stay positive. Stay patient. Stay focused on following the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can. Measure your success against these things and the weight will take care of itself. Allow your body to find its own way in its own time.

You're gonna love the new you!!

Isn't it so frustrating? 0.o I know the weight will come off for both of us! I swear the stalls make me feel like somethings wrong with me

I know, me too....Im extremely frustrated.,,,,groan......

I'm stuck too but I know from previous weight loss experience, it happens. Atkins said a stall wasn't a stall until 4 weeks. My previous pattern was to stall three weeks and drop it all the fourth week. Frustrating but it's a pattern I had in the past. I was hoping this would have me losing weight faster and that I wouldn't stall like this but I guess I am going to!

Remember when it would be so slow we would just give up? And remember did u put all that weight on in six or eight weeks ?This is different now cause this is how we eat .( for life) I haven't weighed myself in over a week so I am 6 weeks out and only have lost 16 lbs as of 9/9 . But today I tried on jeans started with my 22 too big went to the 20 too big went to the18 and they fit great ! Picked up the 16 put them on to tight to be comfortable . So they are my new scale once a week I will just try them on .
