I've been so down and lost lately my highest weight was 410 and my weight now is 236 I've been in a stall for 9 months now. I've been working out and cut down my intake too. I feel so discourage and afraid. Here's a side by side of my process

Your progress is amazing and you should be so proud. Try to get back to basics...

You look beautiful! If you reduced intake and increased activity you may have stopped the loss by putting your body in starvation mode and screwing up your metabolism! You may need to increase calories by eating Protein, veggies, fruit and healthy fats! Be proud you've lost 180+ lbs - that's incredible!

You may consider re-visiting your Nutritionist and surgeon. They may give you insight. Also, if the stall is that long, an exercise physiologist.

How much we consume and how much we expend via physical activity need to be balanced.

You can't starve it off yourself. Your body needs fuel- or it will shut down the metabolism to protect itself. Many a person has gone from overweight to obese by thinking starvation is key.

Get intervention before it's out of control.

Good luck, and you've got this! Your progress is nothing to be ashamed of!!!

I don't know if you've seen Friends but you and me are Hand Twins! Seriously. Our hands look EXACTLY the same. XD

On a serious note, you're doing so well and you'll get where you want to be. When I'm stalled or struggling, I try to remember what it felt like to be over 400 pounds and how different and amazing I feel now. It can be hard for us to look at the big picture while we struggle day by day to move forward. Sometimes during those day to day struggles we can completely forget just how far we've come and the huge successes we have already had. Hang in there! You WILL get there!

You have no idea just how beautiful you are, and I mean that. All of us know how hard this journey can be, and it's very easy to get caught up in the scale numbers game. Try and take a step back and really see how much you've already accomplished.

You've already lost nearly 200 pounds! That's incredible! Think about how much better you feel. How easier it is to walk and breathe, and simply do things daily. You are amazing and have achieved what many others never do. Please don't give up on yourself.

Put away that scale for awhile and just remind yourself of just how wonderful and amazing you truly are!

You've made amazing progress!! Don't give up!
