1 year out down 80lbs. But I swear to god it is nearly impossible to drop anything. I started at 295 down to 215. I'm 5"10. The last 4 months I've only lost 4lbs. And I work out 3 times a week. Just seems like my body is like your done. And is making me be like I've gone as far as I can. anyone else having similar issues?

I would call my activity level moderate. I lift weights a couple of times per week and either walk at about 3.6 mph on a treadmill with a large incline or do an elliptical machine. I am not a small boned person. Don't know what my fat percentage is though. My doctor never really set a weight goal for me, but my personal goal has always been to get to 145. As I said though, I wouldn't been too unhappy to stay where I am, but am just terrified of gaining. My (maybe unreasonable) logic is that if I can't figure out why I can't lose, I may start gaining and not be able to do anything about that either.

I can definitely sympathize with the fear of regain. It's been so hard for me to increase my calories intentionally, because I still have such an irrational fear of gaining weight. With your activity level, I'm inclined to think your calorie intake is too low. But I can see how you might be terrified to try to up it a little and see what happens.

I am 5'10'.. I have been searching for a person as tall as me. I am there toooooo! 275 and stuck at 190! My one year is April 29th. Trying and sticking to my protein! I am looking to reach my goal of 150 lbs. PM me anytime!!!

Hi, I am 5'9 and had surgery March 8, 2013. I lost 100 lbs within 9 months. By my 1 year mark I lost a total of 140 lbs. I would definitely suggest tracking using my fitness pal and make sure you are getting your Protein in. I learned in order to lose , I had to eat. It's a hard mindset since eating is what caused me to be 292 lbs. Good luck
