Loooong plateau early in the game. No weight loss after 8 weeks post op

[auntjanny 289]

I have stayed at the same weight for over 4 weeks. The scale varies very little. I joined a Zumba class and add modest treadmill but have yet to see their impact. I will have my 3 month check up a bit late, maybe at 3.5 months out, so my concerns might be answered then, but is there a chance that this is the best it gets? Could I have already passed the honeymoon stage in first 8 weeks? I would have laughed at a post such as this if I had not written it myself.... While not stellar with diet, calories are under 1000, good Protein and Water intake. No weight gain and no weight loss... I began with a starting weight of 182 and have been at 152. I am short. Is this a stall, or plateau, or the best I can be? Lots of Hair loss in the last month and fingernails are thin. Thanks for your input!

I'm similar to you. 5'2" and starting at 185. Sleeved 8/4/14. My entire 3rd month was a stall. No weight loss. It kicked up again when I began exercising. I do Firm tapes which have cardia and weight training and Brazil Butt Lift tapes which are cardio and toning. I'm a pear shape. Has really helped w/ loss. But Low BMI'ers like us will lose more slowly. Keep at it! I've still got 24 pounds to go, but I've accepted it'll be slow and steady.

I loss zero pounds the entire month of October. Zero. But of course it did start back up. I'm a slow but steady one over here. Keep at it and stay encouraged.

We lose in steps, that's what I'm told any way

I'm in my second "pause". Not a lb. lost since 11/19. Nearly a month. I agree, it's really aggravating. BUT I have faith that it will drop soon since I keep with my plan.

I'm sure you'll get through it
