Lost 70 pounds since April 29

I lost 70 pounds and now am hitting a wall. I haven't lost any weight in 30 days and am getting nervous. Any foods that give the full sensation or tricks to get me out of this funk? HELP!

When is the last time you had a fill? How is your restriction? Are you working out at all?

• I stopped the gym and that is when I stopped lossing so I guess there is no way around it I have to exercise. Fills help but I just got one and feelm just alittle restriction so I probably will go back for one more. Hope that helps

You've lost a lot of weight since April. Plateaus are very normal can last weeks or even months. Plus, the lower on the scale you go, the harder you have to work for every pound you lose. If you're tracking your calories and exercising, the weight will start coming off again.

In the meantime, some tricks I've found that help get off plateaus are fooling with my calories and carb cycling.

When I fool with my calories, I'll have a really high calorie day (like 1800) followed by a really low calorie day (like 800). The big calorie difference is sometimes enough to shock your metabolism into working.

Carb cycling is when you alternate low and high carb days, it's what Chris Powell has his contestants on Extreme Weightloss do to lose weight. When I've hit a stubborn plateau, I've carb cycled for a couple weeks and it always gets the scale moving again. We actually have a thread about it here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/159669-carb-cycling-an-experiment-gone-right/page__hl__carb%20cycling

Good luck

70# in six months is amazing. Congratulations on the hard work and commitment that got you there. I was going to suggest changing something up as far as what/how/when you are eating. The Chris Powell carb cycling sounds very interesting for just that. Maybe add a unit of exercise somewhere each day? Stairs at work, around the block an extra time, change gym routine, etc.? But don't stress, your body will start letting go again.
