Down 100Lbs With More Than 100 Lbs To Go...

[Frederic 500]

So I've lost over 100 lbs and have been hovering close to weighing less than 300lbs for 3 months now without actually breaking that barrier.

The other day I realized I was about to slip back to less than 100lbs lost and immediately had less of an appetite and shed 5 lbs over the next 3 days.

I'm going to see my surgeon next week and I'm torn about whether I need a fill or if I just need to refocus on my behavior (cold weather has ruined my running routine).

I don't have much Fluid in my band (less than 4cc in 10cc band) and still feel restriction but I'm really frustrated with the stall I'm seeing on the scale.< /p>

Congratulations on the hundred -- that is a major milestone! Hope you find a good exercise routine for winter. Couldn't run here today, that's for sure -- it's a mess out there. Best wishes to you as you figure out behavior mod and/or fill....you're doing great.

I've been staying under my calorie goals and increasing my Protein helps but my reduction in calories hasn't offset the reduction in exercise. I'm not even sure it's fat that's responsible for the weight even with my wieght yo-yo-ing by 10lbs my smaller clothes keep fitting.

One of the problems with weighing this much is that gaining or losing 2lbs in a day is pretty common I really depend on looking at the tend over a month and it's frustrating to see there hasn't been much change from my weight 3 months ago.

Does anyone whose hand the band over a year have any insight on winter weight?

First, congratulations on losing 100 pounds!

Just remember plateaus are a normal (though admittedly frustrating) part of the weight loss process. Just keep doing what you know is right for you and the weight loss will start again

Btw, I've hit more than a few plateaus too. I know how bad they suck. Hang in there!

i have a long way to go myself.........as long as (we) keep moving forward, we WILL get there

(ps, as long as the inches keep coming off, that means we are losing weight, no matter what scale says or doesnt say)

NO real fill advice, talk to your doctor.
