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 post-232936-14739812075341_thumb.jpg

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!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
