Failing miserably ... 1 year post op

I am frustrated the last 8-10 weeks I have remained the same wight give or take 1-2 lbs I have switched up my exersice I have done a very strict calorie diet and I have done a not so strict calorie diet nothing is working :-(

My bmi puts me still as obese ... I haven't even made it to just overweight :-( I do realise my goal weight of 120 lbs might not happen but for me to be in the healthy weight range the most Incan weigh is 130lbs that's still 40lbs to go !!!!

I am sad and frustrated and would really like to hear any tips or ways that you guys might have been thru this and gotten out of it ..

You've lost 126 pounds and you're "failing miserably"?

You have 40 lbs to goal and you're "failing miserably"?

First off, stop being so damn hard on yourself. You've done an amazing job thus far. You just need to take a deep breath and figure out what you need to do differently to get the weight loss going again.

The closer you get to goal, the slower the weight loss. You've got to kind of "trick" your body into continuing to lose weight.

Here's what worked for me (for the time being. I may need to change it up again soon to keep the momentum)

TRACK every single thing that goes into.your mouth. I use My Fitness Pal.

If you haven't already, up your calories to 1200.

If you aren't already, get at least 40 minutes of cardio 4-5 days a week.

If you aren't already, drink your 64 oz of fluids EVERY DAY.

And I'm throwing this out there. It worked for me, and it may not work for you. I have recently upped my carbs to 60-80 grams a day, to match my protien. My body really responded well weight loss wise to the change up.

Good Luck! :) You're doing great!

Check on your vitamin D intake. Vitamin D aids in weight loss! Change up your exercise, meals, change everything! See what happens! Good luck! U have done amazing this far, I'm sure it's just a long stall and your body needs to catch up! ????

Up your calories for a day or 2 then drop back down. It's a way to tell your body you aren't starving. Works preop anyway. Good luck!
