I'm down 70lbs since surgery but it's literally been months since I've had consistent loss. I can't seem to find the balance. I eat right and walk daily but that doesn't seem to be enough.

Everywhere I read it says I should be consuming around 1000 calories a day.

I'd like to know what others are doing to continue to see consistent loss.

Thanks in advance!

For me, the key was accurate measuring and tracking of my food intake. When I know I'm going to have to record it, I'm less tempted to allow myself extra treats.

Also, I experimented with the number of meals and Snacks each day and decided that 3 meals and 2 snacks works for me. It might be different for you. Try different patterns for a week each and see which feels most comfortable without slowing your weight loss rate.

Thanks! After I posted I checked out a few other posts and someone mentioned increasing protein and water intake. So I have an updated meal plan that I am going to try this week to see if it can bump me back into high gear!

Stacy,

I was wondering how the new meal plan was working for you? I also have hit a major 4 month stall but I believe it is mostly because of my poor eating habits and lack of exercise more than anything else. I am trying to get back on track and was wondering if you would be willing to share your meal plan? I started at 270 and am at 195.8 but haven't been able to get under that for months. Any encouragement or words of advice would be extremely appreciated:)

Anyone have an update for this?
