I'm only 4 months out, so I haven't faced that myself, but I can just imagine how difficult it must be. I don't really have any words of advice, just hang in there & know that you have done an amazing job so far. I can't even imagine 96 lbs yet...wow!!!

I don't have any advice but 96lbs!!!! That is incredible. Congrats and you will hit 100lbs soon.

Oh to be so close and not have it move! How's your calorie intake? Could you try doing a higher calorie intake for a few days? Or switching out the exercise for something new?

Just keep up what your doing get your Water in and Protein it will start up again soon keep up with your exercise and also change it up. your doing awesome I hope all the best on your journey take care

96 lbs in less than a year is great. It will start to move again. Like the others mentioned, try changing up your exercise routine. Maybe more cardio. Hang in there & keep up the good work.

I have not lost anything in over 2 months. I am 5 months out and down to 139-142 after my revision to sleeve so I am happy with my weight. However, I know how frustrating it can be. Hang in there. Hopefully our bodies will just jump start back up some day.

Tinytears 96 pounds is awesome congrats. This may sound stupid but maybe you are stalled because you are stressing over it. I know when I'm stressing my blood sugar goes up and I gain a little. Of course I don't know anything about what happened with the body post surgery I just know how I react to stress now. Good luck and I hope you are able to break through soon.

First- congrats on your weight loss. I've been stuck at 97lbs for three weeks and I also can't get to a 100lb weight loss goal. It worries be because I still have 35-40lbs until I reach goal.i will be 8 months out next week, and I am not positive that I'll make it to that goal by next month either. I'm doing all the right things but the loss has been non-existent during this period of time. Hang in there and I'll the same.

Thanks everyonefor all your kind words and advice. I am in the process of changing jobs so I hope that once thats done I will be a little less stressed and back to losing.

Stick to the plan, but change your routine some for a few weeks. If you do mostly cardio switch to weight lifting for a few weeks. If you do weight lifting switch to cardio for a few weeks. If you are doing low carbs, add more carbs in for a few weeks. If you aren't doing low carb try doing low carb for a couple of weeks. If your calories are on the high end of your target range then cut them, and if they are on the low end of your target then increase them.

Make sure you are getting enough Protein and Water. After you try everything different for two weeks then switch back to what you are doing now and see if you start to lose again.
