Hopefully, this will be my last challenge in weight loss mode. I will still join the challenges in maintenance to hold myself accountable. Thanks for all you do, Bea!

Current weight 179

Goal weight 175

I have not lost weight in the last 6-8 wks--I am 5 months from surgery and starting to get concerned about this stall. Any good advice to jump start again? I've tried more Water, different exercise, eating more, eating less-- it's exhausting worrying about it! I'm not close to my goal at all. I go from 179 to 180 to 178 back to 179 over and over.

Bea, I'm so thankful for the challenges -- they are the only thing keeping me from giving up right now!

I'm just finishing up 2 weeks of a research/writing retreat at my university (Texas Tech) in pursuit of my PhD (hopefully done by Christmas). While the get-away was just what I needed to make substantial progress, it also had its downside. When I am in my apartment back in Houston I feel in full control of my health, exercise, and eating habits. Here, with a different focus to distract my journey, I have had 2 weeks of old habits (primarily, that of "grazing") rear its ugly head. My weight is up again, although thankfully less than 2 lbs, but it's the other thing, the ignoring of all those things I've learned about my body and what it needs from me over the past 10 months of my journey, that has me a little worried.

I'll be headed for home on Sunday and hope this will be a huge lesson learned for me. My surgery has given me a new lease on life but it's no magic cure. I have to keep working, keep paying attention, keep listening to my mind and body both. As I prepare to move overseas in less than 90 days (moving to Qatar, next to Saudi Arabia in the Middle East) I need to begin thinking about how to maintain control of my eating habits when I'm not in my little safe cocoon. I have lots of work to do to prepare for this move so I really need this challenge to help me get ready.

Weighing in at 182.2 today (up from a low of 180.8) here's hoping that ALL of us have a successful 4th of July Challenge!

Thinking of you today. I wish I had some solid advice to share with you, but I think you are doing all the right things. My longest stall was a little over 4 weeks when I saw a huge (and annoying) see-saw of weights, and ended up losing just over 1 lbs in a month. It was a little disheartening, but due to what I've read in these forums, it was no surprise. I can't wait to get a report from you here letting us know the stall is broken and you're off and running again. Hang in there and know that we all know how you feel and are thinking of you!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
