Down 140 lbs, can't seem to lose last 15lbs!

[blondedreamer84 12]

I'm down 140 lbs, been sitting at 165 for almost a year. I can't seem to lose the last 15 to reach my goal of 150. My two year surgiversary is in February. Any one battle this problem? I've tried calorie restrictions, the 5 day pouch test, liquids diet. I just can't get down! So frustrating! I am happy to how far I've come and most days I still feel 300.i just don't know if this is where my body is most comfortable.

Well thank you so much! Congrats on your surgery!

You look awesome. Just keep it up and you will get there. I switched up some of what I was eating to break my stall. I went right at a month before I started losing again

Just a question--- why are those last 15 pounds so important? You wear a size small, are clearly "normal" BMI. I'm sure any health problems are resolved. Why do you need the last 15 vanity pounds? Check out the what defines success thread!

That said, if they are that important to you... Google 5:2 intermittent fasting or look for threads on that here. It's helped a lot of vets lose those last stubborn pounds.

Thank you all so much! I will look that up!

Congrats! You look great! Any advice on how to be successful post op? I have surgery in 2 weeks and I so concerned with not losing all that I need to lose. You show me that it is possible. What things do you wish you knew before?
