ARRGGHH these last 9 pounds!

Yes ARRGGHH, I said ARRGGGHH! and no im not a pirate. No offense to OKCPirate. lol. I have 9 lowly pounds to go to hit my goal. Now both my surgeon and my pcp have said that the number is just a goal your body settles where it should, blah blah blah GOAL GIMME THE GOAL!

Arrgh i broke the ten-pound barrier on November 6th and cant lose a dang thing since. lowered calories, upped calories, increased my workout, decreased my workout, Ive tried everything. that scale is taunting me...it doesn't think i see it....oh, but I do. It looks at me all happy and inviting..it whispers, "come to me.. I won't pull the football away..." But it will. Its a scale conspiracy i tell you.

Its sentient. it lured me here then DENIED.

Beware the scale.. it is the Dark Side..

I have the same problem, except its 20 lbs and its been TWO MONTHS. My doctor told me I already reached and went beyond the goals of the surgery with loosing 65-75% of my extra weight, and sometimes the body (especially my age of a young 56) just doesn't want to loose more. I have never been this thin in my adult life and I know I should be happy with it, but I want to loose that 20. I have also tried everything with the food and trying to find some sort of exercise besides the walking that will get things going again. But it maybe hopeless, sometimes our bodies don't want to give in!

Good luck!!!! Let me know if you find something! :-)
