Stalling for weeks on end



Recommended Posts

Help please? I have been stalling for weeks on end. Eventually I lose a few pounds. Can you give any advise? I have a lot to lose still. I try not to get discouraged because the inches are falling off but when that scale doesn't move it is rough. I am trying to add more Protein Drinks to my diet. I have trouble eating everything. I am just not hungry! When I do get hungry my little tummy starts hurting. Then I am afraid to eat. Took on a second job for the time being and I don't have much time for exercise. I am trying to walk twice a day on my breaks at work. Our temperatures dropped last few weeks so I tried to walk the stairs at work. Made it up 8 flights! Never ever was able to do that before, so no complaints here. Just want to get enough nutrition so my body doesn't start holding everything. :rolleyes:

Wow it looks like you are doing great to me! Just keep on doing what you are supposed to be doing, it will move. I get a slowed down some now too. I got stuck at 211 for about 4 weeks, then it finally went down. Then I got stuck at 196 for about 2 1/2 weeks and finally the scales moved today to 194. Also, I try on clothes that are too small and re-try them...that is where you see the change in inches you were talking about. Hang in there and keep up the good work.

I have had many stalls and finally decided not to weigh myself. As long as the inches were falling off and my clothes have been getting too big, I am happy. One thing I tell new people is to take your measurements. There are so many times the scales will not show a loss but you will see a loss in your measurements. Make sure you are meeting your required Protein and taking your Vitamins. I kept track of my intake on My Fitness Pal. Dont let the scale get you down. Let your clothese be your guiding light. You have done great and you will continue to do so. Everyone loses at a different rate. Getting discouraged will not help. Be positive and enjoy the ride, you will get there.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
