I need to lose 8 more pounds to reach my 10% weightloss goal my surgeon requires. My last weigh in is August 9th. I still have a few months to lose but it's like the scale isn't moving at all. If anything is bouncing back and forth a pound or two. So nerve racking and it's also discouraging.

I am sorry you have stalled. I know it's discouraging. Your body is clinging to its excess weight. Try mixing it up a little. Or you're not doing any weight training try adding some 1 lb weights, arm curls or something. Start with canned tomatoes or empty water bottles with sand or full water bottles. Try to walk a little more if you're able. Exercise is an important part of this lifetime weight loss/maintenance journey. Add a protein shake or two. Shoot for very low sugar, no more than 3 gsm and 25-30 g protein. I like Premier chocolate, 130 cals 30 g protein. Hang in there, and not to scared you but I had a stall 8-10 mos post any but now I am 5 lbs lower than my surgeon's goal weight, and 6 lbs away from mine. I have lost 101 lbs but it took 18mos so be patient! Best wishes!!

Thanks!! The only exercise I do is at work. (I have a physical job) but some days at work it's slower. I do own a treadmill I just need to use it more. I did a few weight training in the beginning months of my 6 months, but slowly started to cut it out. What ever reason I don't know.

My foods I need to work on. I cut out all carbs (processed) I didn't have bread Pasta or rice at all the first 3 months, but now I noticed I'm eating a little bit more of it each day.

I'm reaching my protein and water goals. I think I'm going to cut out dairy, carbs, and all sugars. This post really is my way to keep myself accountable. And to get myself back on track and start losing again..
